Short description

The Defence Forces of Ireland are considering the purchase of Software Defined Radios (SDR) as the next generation of tactical radios for the Irish Defence Forces. The SDR platform will provide enhanced capabilities to include as a minimum high bandwidth data and voice transmission for ISR applications. SDR’s, which operate in the VHF, UHF and HF bands are considered as optimal. The SDR must provide COMMSEC and TRANSEC communications for both voice and data communications. Consideration will be given to the SDR's suite of narrow band wide band waveforms. Interoperability with partner nations will be a requirement, therefore the SDR's ability to port different waveforms will be viewed as a benefit. The ability to generate and create waveforms for different tactical applications will be considered. Any purchase of an SDR will be expected to remain in service for the next 15 to 20 years. SDR's for review must be tactically fielded and have a proven maintenance and support capability.
