Common Hardware Systems
Abstract
The Common Hardware Systems (CHS) program acquires and sustains highly flexible, customized, cost effective, common, and simplified non-developmental C5ISR solutions that improve interoperability and connectivity on the battlefield while garnering efficient competition to integrate the latest commercial technology onto the Army tactical network. CHS provides technical support, environmental and evaluation testing, and system design / configuration management across Army tactical programs to ensure interoperability and integration of hardware throughout the development of capabilities. CHS hardware evaluations facilitate and simplify the selection of common hardware solutions across the operational battlefield. CHS creates efficiencies through the acquisition of streamlined common hardware configurations across the Common Operating Environments (COE)s, the sustainment community, and tactical programs. CHS also provides logistical services to include worldwide 72-hour turnaround repair through strategically located support centers for tactical military units, manages customizable warranty, maintenance and failure rate reporting, and technical support services to support specific Army program requirements. FY 2018 funds support CHS to continue to manage the acquisition and delivery of CHS equipment and associated services in support of customer requirements. It will also provide technology insertions and the continued support for hardware and systems engineering, and evaluations. CHS will continue CHS-5 contract pre-award activities.
