Attachment 10b.6 – E030 KVM Console-FMECA.xlsx

This document contains a preliminary analysis of potential failure modes for a KVM console component used in an integrated battle command system. The analysis identifies 17 potential failure modes for the component and estimates the criticality and severity of each. Failure modes include failure to operate at a prescribed time, faulty keyboard, short circuits, and under/over voltages. Severity classifications are determined, with most modes initially rated Category I or II. However, due to redundancy from emergency operation centers, the severity classifications are reduced to Category III-1R or III-2R. Compensating provisions and failure detection methods are identified. Modified failure probabilities are then calculated based on design modifications and redundancies.

This federal contract opportunity posting is a draft request for proposal for low rate initial production and full rate production of hardware for an integrated battle command system. The requirement involves maintaining approved software and firmware updates, cybersecurity, and authority to operate on existing hardware, as well as engineering changes. The opportunity is with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal. Offerors are advised not to submit proposals in response to the draft RFP.
