About this file
This is a Salient Characteristics document that outlines technical and operational requirements for a VA Police Radio System to be procured by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VA Northern Arizona Healthcare System). The system must comply with Project 25 (P25) standards for interoperability with federal, state, and local agencies and utilize FCC-approved frequencies with AES-256 encryption and Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR) capability.
