BRAND NAME SPECIFICATION:

The Kawasaki HMB030P21PL566 Hydraulic Motor is an approved source of supply for the towed array CDU and is a mandatory replacement part during CDU overhauls performed at the TAHEF. The identification, qualification and acceptance of another motor or source of supply would require repeating extensive environmental testing, life cycle testing and Grade A Shock testing at the platform level. The estimated time for another motor to be tested and qualified is 24 to 36 months with an estimated cost of $750K; these estimates are based on the technical judgment and awareness of the effort required to qualify the current configuration. Based on the current and known future requirements for this product, these duplicative costs and the negative effect of schedule delays cannot be offset by potential savings from competition.
