STATEMENT OF WORK

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/WORK STATEMENT

C.1.0 SCOPE

C.1.1 The scope of this contract is the fabrication of carbon fabric and tape-wrapped carbon phenolic (TWCP) heatshields for production of both the existing Navy Submarine-launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) Reentry Systems (Mk4, Mk5, & Mk7) and future programs, the development and fabrication of thermal protection system (TPS) materials and components (including heatshields, control surfaces and backpacks) for future/advanced Navy reentry systems and flight test experiments, the purchasing, installation, transport and refurbishment of equipment and tooling required for the production of these materials, and recertifying the carbon and heatshield production processes in a new facility. Some materials may also be required to support United States/United Kingdom (US/UK) Polaris Sales Agreement collaborative programs/projects.

C.1.2 These requirements shall be accomplished through engineering studies, material analysis, material fabrication, material processing, and testing. A Government/Industry Integrated Product Team (IPT) approach will be used to manage the technical activities of the Contractor. It is anticipated that the Contractor will be a key member of this team, the Government-led Reentry Materials Team (REMAT).

IPT travel requirements are defined in section C.3.2 In-Process Reviews.

C.1.3 An alternate source of rayon-fiber that can be woven and carbonized into carbon cloth has been identified as a potential future heatshield material. This material will require continued development and to be further assessed and qualified. Based on the results of engineering studies, analysis and testing of the possible replacement material, additional material candidates may also be selected, fabricated and tested in an iterative process until such time as an adequate replacement/alternative material is identified.

Additional identification, procurement, and development of potential new domestic-source rayon precursors and non-rayon carbon may occur in order to support future programs. Performance, as well as producibility, availability of materials and affordability will be significant factors in the selection of replacement/alternative materials. Most importantly will be how all of these factors compare to historical data for the heritage tactical material. Direction on specific material manufacturing tasks shall be provided by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) based on REMAT discussions and consensus.

C.1.4 In addition to the fabrication of TPS materials for SLBM Reentry Systems, development efforts and studies in the areas of low-cost and advanced reentry system materials may also be defined and pursued. Material fabrication techniques and manufacturing changes, such as invoking new levels of automation, shall be investigated to see if a lower-cost heatshield material replacement can be produced.

C.1.5 The heatshield, being an integral part of a strategic system, is held to very strict and stringent requirements. The production of materials of the same performance and quality as proven heritage materials is of the utmost importance. The ability to use the same production methods, test with the same test methods, and compare against historical data are key. The standup of a new facility shall require purchasing and installation of new equipment and the transfer and install of existing equipment. The newly stood up production line shall complete a Navy SSP directed requalification effort to prove equivalence to the existing facility.
