- Description
- CONTACT Stanley Chan, Electronics Engineer, (732) 532-1862. This is a market survey to locate additional sources for NSN 5820-01-366-4120, AN/PSC-5 radio set; NSN 5820-01-483-0568, AN/PSC-5C radio sets; and the spare parts for the AN/PSC-5 and AN/PSC -5C. The AN/PSC-5 is an ultra high frequency (UHF) lightweight, Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA), manpack radio set. It provides Line-of-Sight (LOS), tactical Satellite Communications (SATCOM). It has embedded Communication-Security (COMSEC) and Tran smission Security (TRANSEC), and weighs less than twelve pounds. It operates in the 30 to 400 megahertz frequency range and provides both data and voice communications. Employed down to the battalion level, it provides range extension and reliability. It is used to transmit intelligence traffic, to interface with the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) SC, and to transmit/receive command-and-control traffic. The AN/PSC-5C version extends the frequency range to 420 megahertz, and also provides Have Quick, SINCGARS frequency hopping, and maritime operational capability. System requirements include MELP vocoding for improved voice recognition in narrowband SATCOM and DAMA; a PPP/IP interface for Tactical Internet Range Extension (TI-RE)v ia MIL-STD-188-184 (AN/PSC-5C requirements); direct interface to Vmail ADC, and access MIL-STD-188-184 ADC mode without Vmail; data rates to 48 kbps using MIL-STD- 188-181B in wide band, and up to 9.6 kbps in narrowband, with ADC and TI-RE accessible for t hese data rates. Both the AN/PSC-5 and AN/PSC-5C must provide 18 to 28 watts constant power output under all conditions, including extended key down periods, and they must be fully Over-the-Air-Rekeying/Over-the-Air-Transfer (OTAR/OTAT) capable using an e xternal Net Control Device (NCD). The AN/PSC-5C must be field reprogrammable for radio operation upgrade. User interface, including menus, must be designed for minimal training. Both AN/PSC-5 and AN/PSC-5C must be capable of cloning with each other, as well as with the AN/PSC-5B and AN/PSC-5D. Both radios shall have extensive Built-In Test (BIT) to allow Direct Support (DS) maintenance to the module level in less than 30 minutes. All components/modules must be interchangeable with existing spares current ly in the DoD standard logistics system. Validated/ verified technical manuals and other logistics documentation must also be available within the DoD logistics system.
