Description

The purpose of this RFI is to identify industry partners who can offer IP- enabled, VULOS, software defined radios (SDR) dual-band communication capabilities that can meet the functional requirements supporting a modern National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 COMSEC that is compliant with the VACM (VINSON (VHF [Very High Frequency] / UHF [Ultra High Frequency] Wideband Tactical Secure Voice System Cryptographic Equipment) - ANDVT (Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal) Cryptographic Modernization architecture (e.g., KY-100M, KY-58M). The VULOS transceivers must be compatible with HAVEQUICK I/II and SATURN 3 waveforms. The delivery threshold (T) goal is to field IP-enabled VULOS transceivers capabilities within a 12 month period after receipt of order (ARO) with an objective (O) delivery goal of six (6) months or less from contract award. Transceiver candidates are required to meet the U.S. and NATO modernization mandates for Foreign Partners by January 2024.
