Rifleman Radio (RR)
Abstract
HMS is structured as a single program of record. The HMS Handheld Radios encompass the one-channel Rifleman Radio (RR) and two-channel Leader Radio (LR). The RR is a handheld radio that connects soldiers at the lowest echelon of the Army network. It is a National Security Agency (NSA) certified Type 1 radio used for transmission of up to SECRET information. The RR provides one-channel secure voice and data communications using Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW). It is the primary squad level communication system. The LR is a Multiband two-channel handheld radio to be used at the Team, Squad, and Platoon level. The LR will simultaneously support Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) voice interoperability, SRW data and voice communications, and other advanced networking waveform communications, in one radio with both handheld and mounted configurations. On 13 September 2016 the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) approved a decreased Basis of Issue (BOI) for the single channel Rifleman Radio (RR), an increase to the BOI for the two channel Leader Radio (LR) and moving forward with acquisition activities for the two channel LR. Single channel RR procurement is being deferred.
