Air Force Reserve Command. There are 8 project locations as follows: Pittsburgh, Homestead, Minneapolis-St Paul, New Orleans, Niagara Falls, Grissom, Willow Grove and Youngstown. There are separate SOWs for each Base. Here is a sample of ONE Air Reserve Base needs statement. Pittsburgh Air Force Reserve Base (AFRB) requires a new narrowband, conventional, land mobile radio (LMR) system to provide communications for facility support personnel. The system shall operate in the digital mode, support Project 25 (P25) standard features and functions, and be capable of supporting DES encryption and future AES encryption. This system will operate using the DoD frequency spectrum in the VHF range. The system should be designed with the features specified by Pittsburgh AFRB that ascribe to the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) Project 25 and the Telecommunications Industry Association's (TIA) Technical Standards 102. The system shall be installed by 31 December 04 to meet the Federal mandate to migrate to narrowband (evaluation factor). Pittsburgh AFRB requires a ?turnkey? effort to include the system design, the furnishing of equipment (radio equipment as well as environmentally controlled shelter, generator, uninterruptible power supplies, etc), complete systems integration, testing, training, and life cycle support. The new system must be currently interoperable with existing LMR equipment (XTS-5000, XTL-5000, and Astro Digital Spectra models) operating in both encrypted and non-encrypted modes.
