Attachment 0010c.9 – E059 Shelter Switch – 01-FMECA.xlsx

This document contains a Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) for an Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) hardware component, as well as the related solicitation requesting Low Rate Initial Production/Full Rate Production (LRIP/FRP).

The FMECA examines potential failure modes for a shelter switch used in the IBCS. It details 195 possible failure modes, their effects, and severity classifications. Many failure modes involve loss of connectivity and could impact IBCS functions. The analysis accounts for redundancy in External Operations Centers to reduce severity classifications. The solicitation seeks IBCS hardware production maintaining approved software/firmware and engineering changes. Responses are due by December 10, 2020 from contractors pre-approved by the Integrated Fires Mission Command Project Office. The effort includes maintaining authority to operate and addressing obsolescence, new capabilities, and export considerations. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is the issuing agency.
