Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/PAE C3BM), is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for the CRC RRSVS TCRR program. This RFI seeks industry input on current or future voice/data communications suites within Tactical C2 to develop a TOC Remote Radio (TCRR) system. The TCRR will extend the Remote Radio Secure Voice System (RRSVS) capability for the Control and Reporting Center (CRC), aligning with the existing Tactical Operations Center – Light (TOC-L) Major Release 2 (MR 2) architecture. Responses are due by March 2, 2026.
Scope of Work
The government aims to develop a TCRR system that provides a remote suite of TOC mission-capable radios, accessible via a remote interface with TOC-L MR 2. Key requirements include:
- Maximum TOC-L commonality and Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) integration.
- Support for mobilizing equipment to forward battle management areas for secure voice and data communications.
- Integration with CRC sensors and use of the same transit case system as TOC-L.
- Utilization of self-encrypting L3Harris radios (PRC-160 and PRC-167) with NSA Type 1 encryption.
- Interface with CRC-provided long-haul connections (COMSATCOM, MILSATCOM, 4G/5G, commercial internet) using bulk encryption via a KG-175 encryptor.
- Provision of voice/data switching and user interfaces consistent with REDCOM systems in TOC-L.
