This is a new requirement to procure 40 brand-name TruLink Portable Transceivers (Part No. 780-1000-001-CF0095-M28) to replace outdated and broken equipment at Peterson Space Force Base. The transceivers are needed for real-time, full-duplex communication among aircrew and medical personnel during flight, particularly where standard aircraft communication ports are insufficient or unavailable. The specified units operate at 2.4 GHz with up to 2,500 ft line-of-sight range, 100 channels, 31 users per channel (6 simultaneous speakers), 8-hour runtime, and frequency-hopping spread spectrum. They must meet several MIL-STDs covering environmental, aircraft electrical power, electromagnetic effects/interference, and HERO requirements.
