Attachment 10e.5 – E122 – EMI Tent PDU-FMECA.xlsx

This document contains a Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) for an E122-EMI Tent Power Distribution Unit (PDU) component.

The FMECA identifies 92 potential failure modes for the PDU distribution box and assesses their severity and criticality. Failure modes include open circuits, shorts, intermittent operation, mechanical damage, and loose couplings. Potential effects range from loss of power to downstream equipment to full mission failure. The analysis assigns preliminary severity classifications for each failure mode and identifies detection methods and compensating provisions. It then reassesses the classifications based on equipment redundancies, reducing most severities to Category III.

The related federal contract opportunity is a draft Request for Proposal for the Integrated Battle Command System Low Rate Initial Production/Full Rate Production effort. It seeks hardware production including maintaining approved software/firmware updates, cybersecurity, and authority to operate on existing components. The RFP will also cover engineering changes 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.
