Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR)
Abstract
Per Milestone Decision Authority direction, AMF JTRS will procure SANR radios as Non-Developmental Items (NDI). The SANR is a two-channel, software-defined, National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 certified networking radio providing seamless real-time information for operation in mobile and dynamic combat environments that will meet tactical communications requirements as validated by the Army Aviation community. SANR will provide increased data throughput to Army Aviation platforms via the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) and Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) capabilities, and maintain Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) capability. SANR will replace the current SINCGARS radios on Army Aviation platforms. SANR is planned for implementation on the following platforms: Apache (AH-64E), Black Hawk (UH-60V, UH-60M, HH-60M, and MH-60M), Chinook (CH-47F and MH-47G), Gray Eagle Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) (MQ-1C), and Little Bird (MH-6) aircraft. SANR will enhance and further enable the ability of the maneuver commander to integrate and synchronize aviation forces with land based operational forces. SANR, employed on Army aviation platforms, will enable aviation combat elements (Combat Aviation Brigades, Theater Aviation Brigades, and Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR)) to better utilize the inherent versatility of airborne communications as a complement to the unique capabilities of the other combat arms. SANR will give commanders enhanced Situational Awareness and Mission Command in a package that provides a more responsive means of directing aircraft to match changing maneuver forces situations and missions. FY 2017 funding provides for continuation of source selection activities in support of contract award.
