SINCGARS, VHF Civilian Air Distress, and other circuits utilizing legacy

radios.

Each RF

channel of the radio is capable of operating anywhere in the 2MHz to 2GHz

frequency band. The DMR 100W Ship and 200W Submarine PAs operate on

VHF and

UHF Frequency bands between 30 and 512 MHz. The 200W Ship/Shore PA

operates

within the UHF SATCOM 292 512 MHz range only.



This acquisition will be a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 19.502-

2.

Offers from other than small business concerns will not be considered. The
