Attachment 10c.3 – E048 HRFU-FMECA.xlsx

This document contains a preliminary failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) for an IFCN network hardware component and a draft request for proposal (RFP) for production of an integrated battle command system (IBCS).

The FMEA identifies 88 potential failure modes for an E048-HRFU antenna component, including improper operation, intermittent operation, and open or shorted interfaces. It analyzes the effects of each failure mode at the component, hardware, and network levels. Most failure modes are classified as Category I or III risks. The draft RFP seeks proposals for low-rate initial production and full-rate production of IBCS hardware end items. It involves maintaining approved software and firmware updates, cybersecurity, and authority to operate on existing hardware. Engineering changes may be required for obsolescence, new capabilities, and export considerations. The solicitation number is W31P4Q-20-R-0015 and is issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal.
