SINCGARS is a family of Very High Frequency-Frequency Modulation (VHF-FM) combat net radios designed to provide the primary means of command and control for combat, combat support, and combat service support units. The SINCGARS radios provide a resistance to jamming via Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM). The SINCGARS family of radios has the capability to transmit and receive voice and digital data, and is consistent with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Interoperability requirements. SINCGARS is the primary soldier-to-soldier communications system and is one of the five major communications/data elements that provide seamless digital communications to the Army end user. SINCGARS IKs are designed to install a specified SINCGARS radio configuration into a specified vehicle. Each IK contains the different components depends on the SINCGARS radio configuration being installed with the particular IK. Most of the SINCGARS IKs contains Mounting Base, Electrical, MT-6352/VRC; Loudspeaker-Control Unit, LS-671/VRC; Antenna, Vehicular (High Voltage Center-Fed) AS-3900A/VRC; Antenna, Vehicular (Survivable Low Profile), AS-3916/VRC; Handset, H-250/VCEB and Various Cable Assemblies, which are considered to be the major components of these IKs and the hardware. Some of them contain the mechanical parts and the hardware only. First Article Test (FAT) will be required for the SINCGASR IKs contain electronic components and the FAT will be performed on the major components of the IK as mentioned-above, but not on the IK itself. FAT is not required for the IKs contain the mechanical parts and the hardware only. Technical Data Package (TDP) for manufacture and acceptance of these IKs are available from the Government. The complete TDPs, which may include Procurement Parts List (PPL) of the IK, top-level drawings, component level drawings, test requirements for manufacture and acceptance of these IKs will be released along with the solicitation. Solicitation may include any of the IKs and/or the associated components listed above depends on the requirements and the availability of funding. Sample PPLs for the IKs and the top-level drawings of the major components of the IKs can be released for the evaluation of the manufacturing capability purpose prior to the release of the solicitation upon request. The TDPs for these items are subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This information shall not be provided to non-U.S. persons or transferred by any means to any location outside the United States Department of State.
