# DCMA Clears DTC MANET Radios

The Defense Contract Management Agency added DTC’s BluSDR-6, BluSDR-30, and BluSDR-90-UL software-defined MANET radios to its Blue List Framework, identifying them as NDAA-compliant components eligible for federal purchase and use under the framework. The radios’ FIPS 140-3 Level 2-validated cryptography module further supports their use in secure communications for uncrewed platforms. DTC also received a five-year Army communications and mesh-networking contract in June; the source does not specify its value, contract number, or year.

- Government buyers and platform integrators can evaluate the listed radios as eligible communications components for uncrewed systems, while confirming fit with each program’s technical and security needs.
- The Blue List listing and cryptography validation strengthen DTC’s position in secure defense communications, but do not represent a specific new award or solicitation.
- The reported Army contract points to an established procurement pathway for DTC’s resilient communications and mesh-networking capabilities; the available information provides no contract value or associated procurement deadline.
