This prototype will supplement existing software-focused training by providing operators and maintainers with hands-on, immersive hardware maintenance, fault isolation, and troubleshooting scenarios.27-PAC-3297 - Small Form Factor Communications Security Device for Tactical Data Links: The U.S. Navy seeks prototypes for a miniaturized, NSA Type 1 certified Communications Security (COMSEC) device. The solution must provide modernized security services for the Link 22 tactical data link ecosystem and be suitable for deployment on various aircraft platforms. The desired prototype will serve as a small form factor alternative to existing COMSEC solutions and must maintain backward compatibility.To obtain more information regarding the projects, you must be a member of the IWRP consortium.
