AQYR Technologies has been awarded a $100 million contract as a result of a Small Business Innovation Research granted by the Air Force Research Laboratories, with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center being the contracting activity. This contract will allow AQYR to provide AN/PRS-12 and AN/PRS-11 Portable Receive Suites, spares, training, support, and engineering services to the US Air Force and other branches of the US Military.
These systems are portable, satellite receive suites capable of being deployed and operated by a single user. They allow Warfighters to receive crucial command center information and data, including Unmanned Aircraft Systems; video and imagery, weather, terrain, geospatial and mapping info; FLIR imagery; streaming video, web content replication, and other large files. The Portable Receiver Suites are also ruggedly built, able to withstand environmental conditions such as high humidity, blowing sand, rain, and extreme heat/cold.
