About this file
This document is a Salient Characteristics specification for a T-6A Immersive Training Device (ITD) flight control grip, establishing minimum requirements for the OTTO G2-0049 or equivalent products. The specification requires delivery of a complete set of loose components including an unpopulated grip housing and compatible switches, with the Government performing all internal wiring and final assembly.
The grip housing must feature a "Cobra style" ergonomic design consistent with MIL-DTL-25561, constructed from rugged, impact-resistant injection-molded thermoplastic polymer with a matte, non-reflecting black finish. All components must meet IP68S environmental sealing standards (submersible capability) and operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The required bill of materials includes four momentary action pushbutton switches (minimum 1,000,000 mechanical cycles, 3-6 lbs actuation force, 1A resistive at 28VDC rating), one four-way toggle "HAT" switch (500,000 cycles per direction, 1.0-2.5 lbs breakout force and 3.0-5.5 lbs full travel force), and one dual-function trigger switch with two distinct tactile stages (minimum 1,000,000 cycles, Stage 1: 1.0-2.0 lbs, Stage 2: 2.0-3.5 lbs actuation force). The critical requirement is guaranteed fitment, ensuring the grip housing physically accepts all switches without modification. The Contractor must transfer all available manufacturer warranties for the grip housing and individual components to the Government.

Salient Characteristics for T-6A ITD Flight Control Grip Brand Name OTTO G2-0049 or Equal
1.0 Purpose
This document outlines the minimum salient characteristics for flight control grip housing and a complete set of compatible switches to be used in the T-6A Immersive Training Device (ITD). To be considered technically acceptable as an “or equal” product, a proposed solution must meet or exceed all characteristics listed below.
2.0 Physical and Material Requirements (Grip Housing & Components)
• Form Factor: The grip housing must be a "Cobra style" ergonomic design consistent with the general form factor of MIL-DTL-25561.
• Construction: The grip housing must be constructed from a rugged, impact-resistant injection-molded thermoplastic polymer (e.g., Nylon).
• Finish: The grip housing must have a matte, non-reflecting black finish.
• Environmental Sealing: The grip housing and all provided switches must be capable of being assembled by the Government to meet a minimum of IP68S standards (submersible).
• Operating Temperature: The grip housing and all components provided must be rated for operation within a temperature range of at least -40°C to +85°C.
3.0 Required Bill of Materials
The offeror shall provide the following set of loose components. The Government will perform all internal wiring and final assembly.
• Unpopulated Grip Housing (1 ea.): A single "Cobra style" grip shell with all necessary cutouts and mounting points for the components listed below.
• Pushbutton Switches (4 ea.):
o Function: Momentary action, single pole, single throw (SPST).
o Mechanical Life: Minimum 1,000,000 cycles.
o Actuation Force: Nominal actuation force between 3 and 6 lbs.
o Electrical Rating: Minimum 1A resistive at 28VDC.
• Four-Way Toggle "HAT" Switch (1 ea.):
o Function: Momentary toggle action for four directions (N, S, E, W) from a center-off position.
o Mechanical Life: Minimum 500,000 cycles for each direction.
o Actuation Force: Nominal breakout force of 1.0 - 2.5 lbs. and full travel force of 3.0 - 5.5 lbs.
• Dual-Function Trigger Switch (1 ea.):
• Function: Must provide two distinct, tactile actuation stages.
• Mechanical Life: Minimum 1,000,000 cycles.
• Actuation Force (Stage 1): Nominal actuation force of 1.0 - 2.0 lbs.
• Actuation Force (Stage 2): Nominal actuation force of 2.0 - 3.5 lbs.
4.0 Compatibility and Delivery
• Delivery: The grip housing and all required switches must be delivered together as a complete set of loose components.
• Guaranteed Fitment: The provided grip housing must be guaranteed to physically accept all provided switches without requiring any drilling, cutting, or other modification. This is the most critical requirement to ensure the Government can successfully assemble the final grip.
5.0 Warranty
• The Contractor shall transfer all available manufacturer warranties for the grip housing and for each individual component to the Government.
