Description

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 10, the Marine Corps Systems Command is seeking market research from potential sources to satisfy its� requirement for a Small Form Factor modular radio, for its Modular Advanced Radio Architecture (MARA) effort under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334220, of which includes, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The proposed solution could include the implementation of the standard 3U VPX or a VNX+, or similar chassis and card, that is suitable for carry as a man portable and on-the-move capability. The target system�s Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) should be similar to current tactical manpack radios which weigh approximately 10lbs and run for 8 hours using a BA/BB X90 style lithium battery. The MARA is a Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance / Electronic Warfare (C5ISR/EW) Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) based radio system that uses Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) standards to fill in system level specifications that are not covered by CMOSS and the other standards. Primary uses of a MARA radio system will be communications and supporting Command and Control, Fires and other warfighting functions as required by Fleet Marine Forces. Users will primarily be from the 03XX, 06XX, and 08XX occupational fields (infantry, communications, and fires). The MARA will provide tactical edge communications as the Radio Frequency transport on tactical voice radio networks and tactical data networks up to, and including, the Top-Secret level.
