Attachment 10c.9 – E059 Shelter Switch – 01-FMECA.xlsx

This document contains a preliminary analysis (FMECA) for a shelter switch used on an Integrated Battle Command System. The analysis identifies various failure modes for components of a Cisco 48-port switch such as data bit errors, shorts, opens, electrical overstress, data word failures, interface communication problems, and faulty fans. It analyzes the severity of these failures and whether redundancy reduces the severity classification. It also provides failure effects, detection methods, compensating provisions, and modified severity classifications in a table with 15 entries for switch components and functions.

The related federal contract opportunity is a draft RFP for an Integrated Battle Command System hardware LRIP/FRP effort. It involves producing IBCS hardware end items according to technical data packages and specifications, and may require engineering changes for obsolescence, new capabilities, and export considerations. The solicitation number is W31P4Q-20-R-0015 from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal. It is a hardware production effort that also requires maintaining approved software/firmware updates, cybersecurity, and authority to operate on existing hardware, as well as engineering changes during contract performance.
