The MMR Project was a discrete element within the Tactical Systems Service Executive (TacSys SE) Programme. The current MMR fleet of radios were procured under Urgent Operational Requirement project for Op HERRICK in 2008. In total, four different variants of radios were procured.
The MMR project delivered a £200M solution that will replace the four variants and provide an enduring capability to the Land, Air and Maritime environments and, where required, enable backward compatibility to the current equipment in the following areas:
a. Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) / TacSat capability.
b. Tactical Ground to Air (G2A) capability.
c. Tactical Ground to Ground (G2G) capability.
