Engineering, Technical, Sustainment and Kitting Support Of V-22 Mesh Network Manager (MNM) Communications Suite

The V-22 aircraft configuration includes a MNM Communication Suite manufactured by Kranze Technology
Solutions (KTS). The MNM Communication Suite is a C4I system with the ability to send and receive real-time
SECRET and below mission critical (non-voice) information [e.g. imagery, Full Motion Video (FMV), intelligence
updates, Isolated Personnel Report (ISOPREP) files, Position Location Information (PLI) with Higher
Headquarters (HHQ)]. This requirement will enable Special Purpose- Marine Air Ground Task Force- Crisis
Response (SP-MAGTF-CR) and the Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP) the ability to obtain realtime/
near real-time imagery and updates of the objective area and greatly enhance their collaboration with HHQ
giving them the ability to obtain the most relevant situational picture in the operational area for execution of critical
missions. The MNM Communication Suite requires follow-on support that is separate from the baseline
incorporation to include engineering support, product support, obsolescence support, training support, spare parts,
repair parts, support equipment, future kitting procurement and retrofit installation capability. NAVAIR intends to
establish a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to contract with KTS for this requirement.
