Next Generation Tactical Radio (NGTR)
Solicitation # N00421-27-RFPREQ-TPM209-0199
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the Next Generation Tactical Radio (NGTR), a modular Software Defined Radio (SDR) for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. The NGTR is intended as a form, fit, and function backwards-compatible replacement for the ARC-210 Generation 5 and 6 radios. Key technical requirements include support for voice and data waveforms in the VHF and UHF bands with operational capabilities up to 6 GHz, including SINCGARS, MUOS, and Integrated Waveform SATCOM. The system must feature a small form factor weighing less than 12.2 pounds, a conduction-cooled design, and a modular High Assurance Device (HAD) to meet NSA cryptographic and Security Evaluation Requirements Document (SERD) standards. Additionally, the system must adhere to Zero Trust security architecture, Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls, and maintain a minimum MTBF of 7500 hours. The acquisition timeline anticipates an Industry Day in the first quarter of FY27, with a final RFP release in the fourth quarter of FY27 and a contract award in the second quarter of FY28, targeting fleet delivery by mid-2034. Eligible firms under NAICS code 334220 must demonstrate expertise in secure military SDRs, agile and modular development, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and proactive obsolescence management. Performance will be measured against rigorous military standards, including MIL-STD-461G for EMI and MIL-STD-704D/E for power. This current effort is a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry feedback on technical feasibility, timeline realism, and risk mitigation prior to the formal solicitation process.
