NGTR Program Risk Feedback Matrix.docx

This is a Program Risk Feedback Matrix document designed to support the Next Generation Tactical Radio (NGTR) procurement. The matrix appears to be a template or tool for identifying, assessing, and tracking programmatic and technical risks associated with the NGTR development and acquisition. As an image file, the specific risk categories, mitigation strategies, and assessment criteria are not fully detailed in the provided content, but such matrices typically capture risk identification, probability and impact ratings, owner assignments, and mitigation action plans to support program management and decision-making throughout the acquisition lifecycle.

The NGTR program, managed by Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) PMA-209 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, seeks a modular Software Defined Radio for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft supporting VHF and UHF bands with operational capability extending to 6 GHz. The NGTR must incorporate a High Assurance Device for NSA cryptographic compliance and serve as a backwards-compatible replacement for ARC-210 Generation 5 and 6 radios. The RFI was released for market research to identify potential sources of all sizes and determine small business set-aside eligibility. Key program milestones include an estimated Industry Day in Q1 FY27, Draft RFP in Q3 FY27, Final RFP in Q4 FY27, contract award in Q2 FY28, and target fleet delivery of production-ready systems by mid-2034. Performance will occur at contractor facilities and government test sites with NAVAIR and NSA.
