APPENDIX A

NCIA intends to replace the AN/PRC-117F and AN/PRC-117G with UHF TACSAT Type 1 Radios - Advanced Multiband Multichannel Man-pack Terminals (AM3Ts) which are designed in Man Portable, Mobile Vehicular, and Deployable HQ configurations. The AM3T Kits which include UHF TACSAT Type 1 Radio - Advanced Multiband Multichannel Man-pack Terminal (AM3T) are configured in Dismount/Man Portable, Vehicular/Mobile, and Deployable HQ configurations. The Man Portable Kit is used for On-the Pause (OTP) operations. The Mobile Kit is used for On-the-Move (OTM) operations while the Deployable Headquarter (HQ) Kit is for deployed sites. The following summaries describe the four (4) specified kits and three (3) deployment use cases.

KIT SUMMARY:

• AM3T KIT: Each AM3T Kit consists of an AM3T Hard Side Transit and Storage Case (UHF TACSAT Type 1 Radios, basic accessories and Operator’s Manual, CDRL C005) and an AM3T Kit Standard Packaging (configuration software and technical manual).

• MAN PORTABLE KIT: Each Man Portable Kit consists of a Man Portable Hard Side Wheeled Ancillary Case (Ancillary set OTP Operations) and one (1) 8-Bay Battery Charging System for every eight (8) Man Portable Kits rounded to the highest whole number.

• MOBILE KIT: Each Mobile Kit consists of a Mobile Kit Integrated Hard Side Mount Storage and Transit Case (RF amplifier, power supply, shock mount and other accessories) and a Mobil Kit Standard Packaging (vehicular antennas, cables and connectors). (Note that rugged shock mounts are required for end item components within the transit case.)

• DEPLOYABLE HQ KIT: Each Deployable HQ Kit consists of a Deployable HQ Kit Integrated Deployable Transit, Storage, and Operations Case (Ancillary Set for deployed sites), Deployable HQ Kit Standard Packaging (deployable antennas, switch, etc.) and one (1) 8-Bay Battery Charging System for every eight (8) Deployable HQ Kits rounded to the highest whole number. (Note that rugged shock mounts are required for end item components within the transit case.)

DEPLOYMENT USE CASE SUMMARY: All Development Use Cases for Dismount/Man Portable, Vehicular/Mobile, and Deployable HQ Configurations will require the AM3T Kit since it is the only kit that contains the UHF TACSAT Type 1 Radio.

• MAN PORTABLE (OTP) DEPLOYMENT USE CASE: Each Man Portable (OTP) Deployment Use Case consists of an AM3T Kit and Man Portable Kit.

• MOBILE (OTM) DEPLOYMENT USE CASE: Each Mobile (OTM) Deployment Use Case consists of an AM3T Kit, and Mobile Kit.

• DEPLOYABLE HQ DEPLOYMENT USE CASE: Each Deployable HQ Deployment Use Case consists of an AM3T Kit, and Deployable HQ Kit.
