This market survey is to locate the manufacturer(s) only for the Installation Kits (IKs) and the Associate Components in support of the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) Radio Sets. 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 system into a specified vehicle. Each IK contains the different components depends on the SINCGARS radio configuration being installed with the specific IK(s). 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, or 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 SINCGARS IKs contain electronic components. FAT will be performed on the above-mentioned major components of the IKs, but not on the IK itself. The manufacturer(s) shall have capability to complete the FAT test successfully and commence the delivery within 12 months after the contract award.
