[Via Satellite 09-28-2015] AQYR Technologies <\/b>received a $100 million Indefinite-Delivery\/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) production contract to provide Global Broadcast Service (GBS) Rucksack Portable Receive Suites (AN\/PRS-12) and Suitcase Portable Receive Suites (AN\/PRS-11), spares, training, support, and engineering services to the U.S. Air Force<\/b> and other branches of the military.<\/p>\n
This sole-source award is the result of a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) initially granted by the Air Force Research Laboratories. AQYR has received initial funding of $13.95 million at the time of award. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts, is the contracting activity.<\/p>\n
Both systems are highly portable, rugged satellite receive suites that can be deployed and operated by a single user. The AN\/PRS-12 weighs less than 20 pounds in tactical carry mode and the AN\/PRS-11 weighs less than 32 pounds.<\/p>\n
The battle-proven Portable Receiver Suites (PRS) bring crucial command center information and data to the in-field warfighter, improving mission success probabilities. The PRS can withstand a variety of adverse environmental conditions, including high humidity, blowing sand, rain, and extreme heat\/cold.<\/p>\n
Satellite acquisition time is approximately 3 minutes. The systems provide access to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) video and imagery; weather, terrain, geospatial and mapping information; Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) imagery; streaming video, Web content replication, and other large files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
