The systems, as configured, must be adaptable to configure up to 5 radios simultaneously. System status and control must be manageable from a Personal Computer either locally or via an Ethernet Network. A choice of voice, voice module recognition (VMR) and digital audio delay must be available. The unit must be suitable for tactical or vehicular use and in rapid deployments. Powering of the system must be DC powered allowing easy battery use or vehicular use. The system must be also be configured to be powered from AC using an adapter. 6.1 Transmission and Power. The system must support the AN/PRC-152 single channel, multi-band handheld radio which provides multi-mission capabilities needed by the war fighter. It will have to support at a minimum the frequency range of 30 to 512 Megahertz. NOTE: For information purposes, the following is a list of existing equipment that the fabricated systems must be compatible and interoperable with for interoperability purposes: 6.1.1 The AN/PRC-117 (Series) a Multi-band, Multi-mission, Man pack Radio with advanced software which covers a minimum of 30 to 512 Megahertz frequency range. 6.1.2 The AN/PSC-5 provides both Wideband and Narrowband Range Extension for voice in Mobile tactical vehicles. It also provides SATCOM on the move in moving vehicular platforms. This system operates in the Very High Frequency to Ultra High frequency range, which is 100 Megahertz to 300 Megahertz. 6.1.3 The AN/PRC-148 provides Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation (AM/FM) for voice communications in the 30 to 512 Megahertz frequency range. The PRC-148 itself provides interoperability with existing military and commercial systems. 6.1.4 The AN/PRC-150 (SERIES) Multi-band tactical radio, provides tactical communications through enhanced secure voice. It operates in the High Frequency (HF) and Very High Frequency (VHF)range. It supports the 2 to 60 Megahertz frequency range. 7.0 TECHNICAL AND TRAINING SUPPORT: The system must include responsive end user support and maintenance, including 24/7 technical support to operations center and initial train-the-trainer support in the event of casualty or emergency repair services or required.
