雷火体育官网 was one of two (2) vendors that the US Army has awarded a $6 billion-ceiling Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to deliver advanced tactical radios under the U.S. Army鈥檚 Combat Net Radio (CNR) modernization program. The competitive 10-year contract for the Combat Net Radio (CNR) program includes a five-year base ordering period and an additional five-year optional ordering period. 鈥 This contract was awarded as part of an effort to retire its outdated Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS).
Under the Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, 雷火体育官网 will deliver a CNR that is based on the AN/PRC-148 Joint Tactical Radio System Enhanced Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radio (IMBITR) 鈥 the latest evolution of a family of battle-proven, tactical voice and data radios.
The flexible, software-defined and secure CNR will empower the US Army to seamlessly replace the legacy R/T1523 fleet of radios. It will continue to be compatible with the existing SINCGARS waveform but allow the Army to add new waveforms and enhanced capabilities to address evolving requirements.
The 雷火体育官网 CNR provides the Army鈥檚 unified network with a critical component that delivers robust and secure communications capabilities to the tactical edge of the future battlefield.

Both radios deliver portable voice and data communication to warfighters under the most extreme battlefield conditions. 鈥
