## Description

**Background & Problem Statement:** Our current system needs an upgraded network router to handle modern data requirements, but the new commercial router does not physically fit into the standard equipment racks used on our ships. We lack a customized hardware chassis that can physically secure the new router and connect it to existing power supplies without disrupting the rest of the equipment.

**Desired Objectives:** The Navy desires to build a custom chassis prototype to house a new network router so it can fit perfectly into our existing Tomahawk Equipment Cabinet (TEC). This will allow us to upgrade our system's network technology without having to completely redesign or replace the current equipment racks. Upon successful completion, the Government intends to transition this prototype to a follow-on production phase for up to 60 units. Please go to matac.org for additional details
