Rifleman Radio (RR)
Abstract
The Tactical Network Radio Systems (Low-Tier) supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort 1, Unified Network The HMS radios are a key component of the Integrated Tactical Network which supports a converged Mission Command Network that operates seamlessly worldwide in any environment. These radios will perform under a standards-based network architecture that unifies enterprise and deployed network capabilities. The near-term goal of the HMS radios is to provide 'secure but unclassified' networking capabilities utilizing next generation tactical radios. The cited work is consistent with Strategic Planning Guidance and the Mission Command Network Modernization Implementation Plan. HMS is structured as a single program of record consisting of several products. The HMS Handheld products 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 certified Type 1 radio used for transmission of up to SECRET information. The RR provides one-channel secure voice and data communications. 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 and other advanced networking waveform communications, in one radio with both handheld and mounted configurations, for fixed and mobile sites. On 13 September 2016 the Army Acquisition Executive approved a decreased Basis of Issue (BOI) for the single channel RR, an increase to the BOI for the two channel LR and moving forward with acquisition activities for the two channel LR. Single channel RR procurement is being deferred.
