9 FA4819-14-R-0004

1.8.2.7.1. The contractor shall mount the DLS and fanpack in such a manner as to provide for ready removal for maintenance and reinstallation

1.8.2.8. The contractor shall participate in system tests while enroute, respond to DLS operational checks, and report abnormal operation to the Range Control Facility.

1.8.2.9. The contractor shall remove the government provided instrumentation from the aircraft for maintenance or repair.

1.8.2.10. The contractor will support all properly scheduled missions. Successful missions are missions flown on time with sufficient numbers of aircraft equipped to generate acceptable mission data

1.8.2.10.1. Mission data will be acceptable if information provided through the system is adequate for three dimensional position computation and drone control operations for the duration of the mission.

Acceptability will be determined by the 53 TSS/OS. A description of the measure of data link quality follows:

1.8.2.10.1.1. The DLS shall exhibit a navigation quality indicator measurement of no less than 90 percent at the maximum range (120 NM) with line of sight (LOS) to a designated GRDCS master station and 120 NM or less range to one existing Drone Formation System (DFS) remote station. The DLS shall exhibit a telemetry quality indicator measurement of lot less than 90 percent at the maximum range (120 NM) with LOS to a designated GRDCS master station. The data link qualities measurements are defined below.

1.8.2.10.1.2. The navigation filter uses multiple ranges from the clocking stations and the telemetry altitudes to compute target position in X, Y and Z. The minimum data required for navigation is two ranges plus one altitude. The navigation quality indicator is a measure of this requirement and is defined as follows:

QUALn = 0.95 * QUALn-I + 0.05 * Qn where QUALn = present quality QUALn-I = prior state quality

Qn = 0 poor data, that is there is no data or there is less than 2 ranges plus altitude

= 100 good data, that is there are at least 2 ranges plus altitude available

1.8.2.10.1.3. QUAL is effectively the output of a simple lag filter driven by an input Q of either 0 or 100.

Since the sampling interval is 100 ms, the lag filter time constant is 1.9 seconds.

1.8.2.10.1.4. The Telemetry Quality indicator is a cumulative measure of telemetry data loss. This loss occurs when the master does not hear the drone or the telemetry error bit is set in the downlink. When this loss occurs DSTAB (42) is set True. The telemetry quality indicator is defined as follows:

TLMQn = 0.95 * TLMQn-1 + 0.05 - Qn where: TLMQn= present quality QUALn-1 = prior state quality Qn= 0 if DSTAB(42) is TRUE =100 if DSTAB(42) is FALSE

10 FA4819-14-R-0004

1.8.2.10.1.5. In order to evaluate data link quality, the target vehicle will be flown 120 NM from the master site and will be less than or equal to 120 NM from one slave station. The navigation and telemetry quality indicators will be recorded for the test. Plots will be provided post mission of the qualities for the orbit and the maneuver. Additional post mission data reduction can provide statistics of uplinks versus valid downlink responses.

1.8.2.11. The contractor shall remove the government provided instrumentation from their aircraft and return it to the government within 10 days after completion of the contract. All equipment not installed in aircraft shall be returned to the government upon completion of contract.

1.8.2.12. The contractor shall understand and shall fully comply as required with Military Assumes Responsibility for Separation of Aircraft (MARSA) procedures.

The contractor shall ensure the installed government provided and contractor provided equipment meets the performance level of the system. Government approval is only approval for use of range facilities and does not constitute government of risk for the proper functioning of the contractor’s design. The contractor shall retain technical and financial responsibility for proper functioning of the design. The preliminary design will be of sufficient detail and quality to permit in-depth government analysis and review. The data item should include all technical design documentation required for FAA certification as listed in Appendix D.

1.8.3.3. The contractor shall install the government provided DLS and fanpack and contractor provided antenna(s) (PN 803L-5) on the contractor's aircraft in accordance with FAA regulations. The contractor shall make no internal configuration changes to the instrumentation without government approval. The contractor shall develop written operator procedures and any required supplemental maintenance instructions for the instrumentation in accordance with the applicable TOs for the instrumentation and the contractor’s interface design scheme as listed in Appendix D.

1.8.3.4. The contractor shall prepare and submit to the government a flight test plan for development testing.

The contractor shall structure the flight test plan to ensure that range missions requiring drone/aircraft support are minimized. The government will review the contractor's flight test plan and recommend any changes necessary. The contractor shall incorporate any changes required and obtain government approval prior to commencing flight tests on the Gulf Range. Government approval is only approval for use of range facilities and does not constitute government assumption of risk for adequacy of testing.

CDRL A001.

1.8.3.6.1. Flight tests which do not require government range time or support may be made at the contractor's discretion and do not require government notification or approval. Fuel is provided by the Government and charged to the ACS using fuel cards. The government will provide aircraft fuel when contract performance begins in direct support of ATIS operational flights and for all authorized test flights in support of the program.

1.8.3.6.2. The formal government acceptance test will commence within 5 days after the contractor notifies the government that the ATIS is ready for test. The acceptance test will be accomplished in a 15 day period thereafter.
