Switch Box 2026-KM0003
Summary
AI-generated · Jan 03, 2026Capability statements are being sought for a rugged Switch Box to support the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) as part of the Vehicle Integration for C5ISR Interoperability (VICTORY) efforts. The unit combines a 16-port fully managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch, static Layer 3 routing, embedded GPS, a Chip Scale Atomic Clock, an IMU, and solid-state storage with a quad-core MX6 processor in a MIL-STD-qualified chassis, serving as a single line-replaceable infrastructure switch to enable interoperability among C5ISR components.
The Switch Box must meet stringent military requirements: MIL-STD-810G for shock and vibration, MIL-STD-461F for EMI, and MIL-STD-1275 for power protection, operate over -40 to +71 C, and use MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors (not typical commercial Ethernet connectors). Technical data is not available, and procurement is source-controlled to Curtiss-Wright (CAGE 1P423). Quantities range from 15 to 356 units. This is not a solicitation for proposals.
Item Name: Switch Box NSN: 5930-01-705-8315 Part Number: DBH672-4S Minimum Quantity: 15 each Maximum Quantity: 356 each End Item: Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) Description: The Switch Box is an essential component of the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) Vetronics Electrical Installation and is critical to vehicle readiness as it enables interoperability between Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) components. The Switch Box is a rugged, multi-function system that integrates a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch and a quad-core MX6 processor in a compact, MIL-STD qualified chassis. It consolidates a variety of capabilities, including a 16-port fully managed Layer 2 GbE switch, static Layer 3 routing, embedded Global Positioning System (GPS), a Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC), an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and solid-state storage into a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The Switch Box supports embedded computing and serves as an infrastructure Switch for the U.S. Army's Vehicle Integration for C5ISR Interoperability (VICTORY) initiative. The Switch Box must comply with several military specifications, including MIL-STD-810G for shock and vibration, MIL-STD-461F for electromagnetic interference, and MIL-STD-1275 for power supply protection against voltage surges, spikes, and transients. It also requires a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +71C and MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors, which are not typically found on commercial Ethernet switches. Technical Data is not available for this procurement. Procurement is source controlled to Curtiss-Wright (CAGE: 1P423). Note that this is not a request for proposal.
