This LRIP will be followed by an Operational Test that will
inform a Full Rate Production decision for the AN/PRC-158 and other
HMS products. The IDIQ contract includes a five-year base and an
additional five-year option with a ceiling of $12.7 billion. The
Army expects to purchase approximately 65,000 HMS Manpack radios
under the IDIQ.
The L3Harris AN/PRC-158 radio features a two-channel,
software-defined architecture with integrated cross-banding between
waveforms, including Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio
System (SINCGARS), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), Demand
Assigned Multiple Access/Integrated Waveform (DAMA/IW) and ready
for the Warrior Robust Enhanced Network (WREN) waveform, providing
advanced capabilities while maintaining backward interoperability
with legacy systems.
The software-defined architecture enables flexibility to respond
to new and emerging requirements and allows easy porting of new
waveforms. The radio is capable of simultaneously handling
classified and unclassified data.
“L3Harris is proud to deliver the most critical part of the U.S.
Army’s Integrated Tactical Network, enabling secure multi-mission
capability in the most challenging and contested environments,”
said Dana Mehnert, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris. “The
AN/PRC-158 will equip soldiers with cutting-edge waveforms,
providing resilient SATCOM and advanced wideband networking at the
tactical edge.”
