REGIMENTAL COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY (RCC)

REGIMENTAL SPECIAL TROOPS BATTALION, 75th RANGER REGIMENT

MRZR MODIFIATION – COMMUNICATIONS PLATE

1. General:

The Regimental Communications Company performs a host of mission critical roles providing communications capabilities in austere environments to each Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment. Their ability to move throughout varying degrees of restricted terrain while transporting critical communications equipment is decisive to mission success and oftentimes requires non-standard modification of existing vehicular assets. This requirement describes one modification necessary to adapt the Polaris MRZR to enable mission accomplishment.

2. Specifics The RCC requires a plate to be manufactured to secure communications equipment within the MRZR. The plate shall be aluminum, rated for a minimum of 400 pounds weight capacity. The approximate dimensions will be ½ inch thick, 54 inches long, and 28 inches wide. The following sheets provide an in-depth depiction of the specific dimensions required. The plate shall be mounted to the MRZR using any existing attaching points on the vehicle. Permanent alteration to the vehicle is not permissible.

The plate will be mounted using a “U-Bolt” type mechanism on the front edge of the plate (i.e.

closest to the operator), that is to fasten around the one inch tubing frame on the MRZR. On the rear edge of the plate (i.e. furthest from the operator), the plate will be bolted to the MRZR body using pre-existing holes using vendor manufactured brackets.

The attaching brackets will measure approximately four inches wide and 14.75 inches long.

Their thickness shall be sufficient to provide for the 400 pound weight capacity.

3. Additional Features The plate shall be able to secure communications equipment of various shapes and sizes. In order to do so, the plate shall have tracks inlayed into the top of the plate, allowing the re-positioning of attaching points horizontally along the track.

The contractor shall provide all hardware for attaching the plate to the MRZR body to include but not limited to: (2) brackets with twelve (12) bolts at ¼” by one inch long; four (4) “U-bolt” type hardware assemblies attaching the plate to the one inch tubing on the MRZR frame; a minimum of eight (8) plunger attachment point assemblies.

The contractor shall incorporate a rail system similar to the commercially designed model shown in Annex A, referenced US Cargo Control (http://www.uscargocontrol.com/Ratchet-Straps-Tie- Downs/Aircraft-Style-Seat-L-Track/Aircraft-style-seat-track-6-ft?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj_Lh9qTm1gIV0lqGCh3u3QsmEAYYASABEgIQXvD_BwE). The attachment points, shown in Annex A, shall have no less than a 1300 pound working load limit.
