HMS JTRS
Abstract
Handheld, Manpack, and Small Form Fit (HMS) is a materiel solution meeting the requirements for a Software Communications Architecture (SCA) compliant hardware system hosting SCA-compliant Government purpose rights software waveforms (applications). HMS is an Acquisition Category (ACAT) ID Program that encompasses specific requirements to support the Special Operations Command (SOCOM), US Army, US Marine Corps, US Air Force and the US Navy communication needs. HMS provides voice and data communications to the tactical edge/most disadvantaged Warfighter with an on the move, at the halt, and stationary Line of Sight (LOS)/ Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capability for both dismounted personnel and platforms. HMS radios are software re-programmable, networkable multi-mode system (of systems) capable of simultaneous voice, data and video communications. The embedded Small Form Factor (SFF) versions of HMS will be used for Unmanned Vehicles and other platform applications. HMS Increment 1 is structured as a single program of record with two phases of development. Increment 1, Phase 1 developed the AN/PRC-154 Rifleman Radio, SFF-A (one and two channel) and SFF-D radios for use in a sensitive but unclassified environment. Increment 1, Phase 2 developed the AN/PRC-155 Manpack and embedded SFF-B, both of which are compliant for use in a classified environment. The AN/PRC-154 Rifleman Radio was modified via an engineering change proposal (ECP) to leverage advances in technology to provide the AN-PRC-154A encrypted secret and below capable radio. Waveforms to be ported to HMS Manpack include: SRW, Single Channel Ground to Air Radio System (SINCGARS), Satellite Communications (SATCOM), and Mobile-User Objective System (MUOS).
