2.0 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS (DOR): HSM-78 OPERATIONS
2.1 General Information
Objective: This Description of Requirements (DOR) defines the minimum requirements for the procurement and delivery of Motorola APX 6000 handheld radio communication equipment in support of HSM-78 operations.
Background & Justification: HSM-35 requires reliable and mission-capable radio communications to support safe and effective flight line operations. Current handheld radio equipment used by flight line personnel, maintenance teams, and Squadron Duty Office personnel has reached end-of-life. Replacing these obsolete systems is mission-critical to ensure safe, effective, and interoperable fixed-base communications.
Mission Impact: Upgrading to the APX 6000 will restore reliable real-time coordination between maintenance personnel and aircrew, resolving degraded communications, improving situational awareness, and mitigating operational risks on the flight line.
2.2 Equipment Requirements
The Contractor shall provide the following hardware, software, and warranty items. All equipment must include ADP software DSP-based crypto and analog operation software capabilities.
