MARA Digital Radio Head Interface RFI

In accordance with FAR 10, the Marine Corps Systems Command is seeking market research from potential sources to satisfy its requirement for a Digital Radio Head Interface (DRHI) for its Modular Advanced Radio Architecture (MARA) effort under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334220, of which includes, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing.

The MARA is a Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance Electronic Warfare (C5ISR/EW) Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) based radio system that uses Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) standards to fill in system level specifications that are not covered by CMOSS and the other standards.

Primary uses of a MARA radio system will be communications and supporting Command and Control, Fires and other warfighting functions as required by Fleet Marine Forces. Users will primarily be 03XX, 06XX, and 08XX occupational fields (infantry, communications, and fires). The MARA will provide tactical edge communications as the Radio Frequency transport on tactical voice radio networks and tactical data networks up to, and including, Top- Secret level.
