Critical technical requirements include native execution and integration with HAVE QUICK I/II and SATURN anti-jam frequency-hopping waveforms, cipher-text mode capabilities supporting KY58/KY100 encryption devices, full integration with current range communication networks as the primary protocol, turnkey integration with legacy Compunetix KY infrastructure, and minimal footprint accommodating three to five transceivers in standard four to six Rack Unit space.
Performance occurs at Edwards AFB, California. The applicable NAICS is 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) with a 1,250-employee size standard.

No solicitation documents currently exist. An Air Force Test Center Ombudsman is available to facilitate responses.
