1 Scope/Introduction 84

1.1 Scope 85

This Performance Requirement Document (PRD) defines the technical requirements for the 86 Combat Networking Radio (CNR) Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) contract under the 87 authority of the PEO C3T/PM TR/PdM WF. The requirements within the PRD are based on 88 the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) specifications both 89 extant in current Army doctrine and with modernization efforts for vocoder, 90 Communications Security (COMSEC) and Transmissions Security (TRANSEC). All 91 requirements in this document apply to all modernized SINCGARS configurations unless 92 otherwise specified. 93

1.2 System Description 94

The SINCGARS ECP modernization of the RT-1523 will be referred to as CNR for the 95 purpose of this PRD. The CNR radio allows users to operate in tactical voice networks with 96 other team members and team leaders utilizing the SINCGARS waveform. The radio also 97 enables users to exchange Position Location Information (PLI) within a network via Radio 98 Based Situational Awareness (RBSA) mode and to function as a digital data radio. 99 This PRD defines a common set of requirements for a form/fit/function replacement of the 101 RT-1523E/F used for the PRC-119, and fitting within the AM-7239E Vehicle Amplifier 102 Adapter (VAA) which includes the Power Amplifier (PA), antenna, and the Internet 103 Controller (INC). The VAA is capable of mounting one or two CNR radios and one PA. 104 Examples of the platform are the VRC-89F, VRC-90F, VRC-91F, and VRC-92F. . The 105 replacement receiver transmitter (RT) shall achieve the required performance with a 106 software-defined radio (SDR) capable of legacy and modern SINCGARS features detailed 107 herein. The modernized replacement must interface and meet requirements with all 108 existing ancillary items (e.g., VAA, PA, INC, antennas, etc.) that provide flexibility and 109 adaptability to support the varied Warfighter mission requirements. The CNR Receiver-110 Transmitter (RT) matches all existing mating connectors, cable bends, mounting 111 provisions, and cooling provisions while also providing full performance. The rationale for 112 form/fit/function identical to the original SINCGARS RT-1523E/F/G is based on cost 113 avoidance for platform integration, replacement of existing mounts, amplifiers, integration 114 kits, and does not preclude slide-in replacements. 115 Any solution that lacks National Security Agency (NSA) or Joint Interoperability Test Center 116 (JITC) certification or is unable to meet modernization requirements will be deemed 117 unsuitable. 118 The CNR requirement is for a 1-channel manpackable and mounted radio to be used within 120 Platoons and higher to provide the capability for soldiers to have interoperable voice 121 communications with tactical enablers such as aviation, fires, coalition, host nation, or 122 other adjacent units that use legacy or modernized SINCGARS. The SINCGARS CNR ECP 123 enables alternative use of either the SINCGARS with Saville crypto operated at CUI 124 (Controlled Unclassified Information level) or modern COMSEC at Secret. 125 The CNR shall be fielded in a manpackable and mounted configuration. Both manpackable 127 and mounted configurations shall use a common RT. 128 The system’s mission criticality and impact of system compromise requires the capability 130 must survive and operate in a high risk cyber-contested environment against the span of 131 anticipated adversaries ranging from amateurs to very sophisticated, persistent, and well-132 resourced adversaries at a nation state level. Adversaries are capable of advanced cyber 133 trade craft using publicly available and customized tools to exploit known and unknown 134 vulnerabilities, as well as the ability to develop and stealthily implant 135 malware/vulnerabilities to conduct wide-ranging intelligence collection operations for 136 identifying/targeting espionage/attack on both unencrypted and isolated networks, and in 137 some cases create limited effects against defense critical infrastructure networks. 138 Recognizing the adversaries’ current/projected cyber threat capabilities, the system must 139 prevent or mitigate the effects of cyber events to maintain minimum functionality to 140 complete the mission or return to base for recovery of sufficient capability to fight another 141 day. Mitigations must ensure Confidentiality, Integrity, & Availability for trusted availability 142 of internal and external information flows; must implement a defense in depth 143 architecture, with no single points of failure; must leverage available DoD-developed cyber 144 protection technologies (including consideration of protections inherited from the 145 intended operational environment); and as required build specific custom protections, 146 countermeasures and technologies to actively manage the system’s configuration to 147 achieve and maintain an operationally relevant Cyber Survivability Risk Posture. 148

1.3 Terms and Definitions 149

The CNR radio’s capabilities are defined as a combination of the actual performance, 150 functional and physical attributes of the system. The performance, functional and physical 151 attributes of the system are defined by requirements in this document which includes the 152 referenced Statement of Work (SOW). 153

1.3.1 Threshold Requirements (T) 154

Threshold requirements, indicated by “(T)” prior to the requirement text, shall be met or 155 exceeded for the PRD item(s) to remain technically acceptable during the contract ordering 156 period. 157

1.3.2 Objective Requirements (O) 158

Objective requirements, indicated by “(O)” are desired requirements. Items not marked 159 with (T) or (O) are considered (T) by default. To ensure Objective requirements provide 160 enhanced capability, there are minimum standards within the Objective requirements that 161 the Contractor shall meet if providing the Objective Requirement. For example, the TSM 162 waveform in paragraph 3.6.1 is an Objective (O) requirement. The Contractor does not 163 have to offer the TSM waveform. However, if the Contractor offers the TSM waveform, it 164 shall meet all Thresholds (T) identified in sub-paragraphs. All certified objectives shall be 165 met or exceeded for the PRD item(s) to remain technically acceptable during the contract 166 ordering period. 167

1.3.3 Mission-Ready 168

(FMS)). 171

1.3.4 Mission-Ready Weight and Size 172
