Tactical Radio Integration & Compatibility Testing

The contract seeks the mechanical and electrical integration of Harris AN/PRC-117G, -158, -160, and -167 tactical radios into standardized modular chassis systems. This involves designing custom mounting brackets, routing internal signal and power connections, and ensuring full electromagnetic and functional compatibility within the enclosed platform. The work requires detailed engineering to maintain radio performance while accommodating space, thermal, and vibration constraints typical of deployed tactical environments. All integrated systems must undergo rigorous RF testing to verify transmission, reception, and interference resilience under operational conditions. The project is issued as a subcontract under the National Research Council of Canada, part of the Government of Canada, with performance expected in the National Capital Region. The North American Industry Classification System code 334220 indicates the scope centers on communications equipment manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on April 30, 2026, with proposals due by May 15, 2026, reflecting a tight turnaround typical of defense-related technology integration efforts. The goal is to enhance interoperability and field deployability of existing radio platforms through modular standardization without compromising core communication capabilities.
