Next Generation VADR

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the capability to satisfy agency requirements for a voice and data recorder (VADR) for military rotary wing aviation application. The VADR should have specific capabilities such as crash protected memory, multi-processor system on chip, supplemental memory, video and audio recording and compression capability, and more. Interested parties are invited to submit a statement of interest, including their company profile, capabilities, and experience in developing, qualifying, productionizing, maintaining, and updating a Voice and Data Recorder for commercial or military aviation applications. • The VADR should have a minimum of 20GB crash protected memory and a multi-processor system on chip capable of 12,000 MIPS per core. • The VADR should have supplemental memory of at least 64GB for third-party software. • The VADR should have video and audio recording and compression capability. • The VADR should have MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, RS-422, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. • The VADR should have cyber-security measures to prevent intrusion and data encryption capability.
