Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR)
Abstract
Per MDA direction, AMF JTRS will procure SANR radios as Non-Developmental Items (NDI). The SANR is a two-channel, software-defined, National Security Agency 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 advanced networking capabilities supporting Mid-Tier and Lower Tier tactical networks, 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), and Gray Eagle Unmanned Aircraft System (MQ-1C) 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) 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. On 17 July 18, the Army Acquisition Executive signed both the SANR Closeout Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) and SANR Termination plan. This ADM and plan initiates a program termination action and directs an orderly shutdown of the SANR program. The SANR subprogram (Project EG6) has no approved requirement and funding has been withdrawn in FY 2020 and beyond.
