Fiber Splicing Trailer Purchase Requirements Document For 704th Test Group/846th Test

Squadron 1 Purpose

The 704th Test Group (704 TG) mission is to be the premier provider of unique test and evaluation capabilities relevant to tomorrow’s warfighter through world-class people improving technical excellence, cost-effectiveness, and agility. The 846th Test Squadron (846 TS) is one of the units assigned to the 704 TG. The 846 TS’s primary test capability is the Holloman High

Speed Test Track (HHSTT) where rocket powered sled trains are utilized to simulate flight-like environments and scenarios with the control and recovery of a ground-based system. The

HHSTT utilizes approximately 45 miles cumulative of fiber optic cables, ranging from 12-count to 288-count, supporting communication systems connecting multiple facilities across the entire track complex including a 6,000-foot long Rainfield solely dependent on fiber optics to function. The HHSTT employs several Certified Fiber Optic Technicians tasked with maintenance of these systems. Servicing a fiber optic cable requires a certain amount of exposing bare fiber to the elements throughout the splicing process. Bare fiber and the equipment needed to splice it must remain free of any foreign bodies that may render a splice inoperable. Given the tight tolerances often encountered in HHSTT fiber optic applications, repeatedly resplicing fiber needs to be avoided. As such, given the potential for airborne particulates around the track (i.e., gypsum sand and dirt), a clean splicing environment is a must. Further, fiber optic splicing equipment can be susceptible to damage from extremes in temperature. This, along with the increased time spent splicing high-count fiber optic cables, necessitates a climate-controlled fiber splicing environment. In order to service the extensive critical fiber optic infrastructure utilized by the HHSTT, a fiber optic splicing trailer must be equipped to maintain a clean and climate controlled environment through the use of multiple splicing doors and windows as well as possess the capabilities to power splicing equipment by way of an array of power outlets.

The following requirements are for two new multi-purpose fiber splicing trailers needed at the track.
