Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force (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 capabilities of the Control and Reporting Center (CRC) by integrating with the Tactical Operations Center – Light (TOC-L) Major Release 2 (MR 2) system. Responses are due by 12:00 PM MST on March 2, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This RFI is for planning purposes only, aiming to gather information on industry capabilities for a Remote Radio Secure Voice System (RRSVS) capability extension for the CRC. The government intends to develop a TCRR system that mirrors the radio subsystem capabilities of TOC-L MR2, providing a remote suite of TOC mission-capable radios via a remote interface with TOC-L MR 2. The TCRR should support secure voice and data communications during battle management activities in forward areas when connected to a TOC-L Enabled CRC.
Key Requirements
The desired TCRR system should:
- Achieve maximum TOC-L commonality and Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) integration for efficiency.
- Provide a remote suite of TOC mission-capable radios via a TOC-L MR 2 interface.
- Support mobilization to forward battle management areas for secure voice/data.
- Integrate with CRC sensors and use the same transit case system as TOC-L.
- Utilize self-encrypting L3Harris radios (PRC-160, PRC-167) with NSA Type 1 encryption.
- Interface with CRC-provided long-haul connections (COMSATCOM, MILSATCOM, 4G/5G, commercial internet) using a KG-175 encryptor.
- Provide voice/data switching and user interfaces consistent with REDCOM systems in TOC-L.
Submission Details
- Response Due: 12:00 PM Mountain Standard Time (MST), March 2, 2026.
- Submission Method: Via email to the listed Points of Contact.
- Page Limit: Responses must not exceed 10 pages for technical content. Company information, cover pages, tables of contents, glossaries, and graphics (e.g., schedules, architecture diagrams) are permitted outside the 10-page limit.
- Information Requested: Technical Approach and Design Reuse, Data Rights, Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) estimates, Schedule Realism, Integration and Sustainment approach, Cost Efficiency, Lifecycle Considerations, and Relevant Experience.
- Classification: Responses can be at the Secret//Collateral level.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
None specified.
