Attachment 10c.1 – E043 Firewall Red-FMECA.xlsx

This document contains a preliminary analysis of potential failure modes for a firewall component used on a shelter system, as well as the associated federal contract opportunity.

The preliminary analysis identifies 64 potential failure modes for the E043 firewall including component inoperative, power supply issues, switch failures and data interface problems. It analyzes the failure effects, detection methods, safety impacts and provides a modified risk assessment based on redundancy. The related federal contract opportunity is a draft RFP for the Integrated Battle Command System low rate initial production and full rate production. It involves maintaining approved software and firmware updates, cybersecurity and authority to operate on existing IBCS hardware, as well as engineering changes for obsolescence, new capabilities and exportability. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is the contracting agency.
