NAWDC has a requirement for the design, fabrication, delivery, installation, and testing of three (3) Command Post Kits and one (1) Mountain Top Relay kit to support a standalone, threat-representative communications network to be used by exercise OPFOR. A portion of RH takes place on the Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC). The FRTC is a very challenging geographic area for ground-based communications due to the prevalence of mountain ranges and corresponding valleys. The command post and mountain top relay kits will upgrade and modernize the capability employed by the RED and GREEN forces during RH. RED and GREEN force commanders are given “commander’s intent” and objectives for each event, but are allowed to be a “thinking” enemy, requiring real-time command and control of RED and GREEN forces. Upgrading the command posts and adding a mountain top relay capability will enable the RED and GREEN forces to more effectively communicate, yielding a more lethal adversary and adding to the complexity of the problem RH exercise participants are tasked with solving. If RH range communications equipment is not purchased, RED and GREEN forces will continue to use the existing legacy equipment and will not be able to evolve and adapt to provide a realistic and challenging OPFOR during RH.
