STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK

MH-47G

Engine Barrier Filter Development

1. Scope: This Statement of Objectives defines the efforts required to design, develop and integrate an Engine Barrier Filter (EBF) designed as a highly efficient filtration system to reduce the ingestion of AF Coarse and AC Fine specification sands (per SAE J726) from entering into and damaging the T55-GA-714A engine used on the H-47 Helicopter This effort shall include the nonrecurring engineering to design an EBF, the development of hardware for testing to include predictions of performance, and the necessary structural analysis to enable testing of the design on both ground test stands and on an aircraft. This SOW is intended to culminate in a system-level test representative of an integrated environment on either an engine test stand, a flow test mock-up representative of the installed environment, or a similar integrated test environment.. At the conclusion of this effort, it is the objective of the U.S. Government (USG) that the test hardware be used in a follow-on effort for qualification testing purposes on an MH-47G aircraft.

1.1 Background: The U.S. Army has previously designed, developed and qualified the Engine Air Inlet Particle Separator (EAPS) system and the lighter weight Modified Engine Air Inlet Particle Separator (MEAPS) system for the CH-47D and CH-47F along with various foreign variants of the Chinook. In addition to the EAPS/MEAPS designs, a reusable media filter prototype based design was flown on a CH-47D under Cargo/Boeing ECP D027 in 1989-1991 time period. Due to a number of reasons, most prominent being weight, performance penalties associated with the design, weight/drag, and maintainability concerns, the EAPS/MEAPS design has not been integrated onto the MH-47G. As such, the MH-47G is operating without the benefit of an engine air filtration system which has a negative effect on the continued serviceability of the engine while operating in a Desert / arid environment where the ingestion of sand and dust particles is a certainty during aircraft operations. The ingestion of sand/dust not only abrades the compressor and turbine engine blades but also degrades the compressor and turbine engine liners and clogs the cooling passages of the engine which further reduces engine performance margins.

3. Requirements:

3.1 The Contractor shall perform all required software and hardware design and development efforts required for integrating an inlet filtration system on a T55-GA-714A engine and H-47 aircraft. Design requirements include:

1. Minimize any engine performance reduction, system weight, and drag penalties/impacts. While it may be impossible to have “no effect” on the performance of the T55-GA-714A engine as a result of adding a filtration system of the air inlet, such performance losses must be kept to a minimum so as not to have a detrimental effect on aircraft performance and overall aircraft weight. The design objectives shall include a highly efficient design to maintain current performance standards as best possible (i.e. the current Chapter 7 aircraft performance charts per Ref 2i) and minimize weight impacts with the objective of not to exceeding 100 pounds of total delta aircraft weight (i.e. removal of current all-weather screens provides a delta of ~52 pounds per a/c side giving a total system weight objective of ~204 pounds).

1. Provide a performance estimate of the efficiency of the filter method used or the media used in the design with estimates of the performance degradation over time or as a function of buildup of dirt/dust/sand over time and the estimated reduction on total system performance.

1. Provide engine stability estimates and corresponding data as a function of the alteration of airflow patterns affected by the filtration system per Inlet Distortion Testing.

1. Provide Inlet Flow Pressure Loss and Inlet Pressure and Temperature Distortion assessments using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and instrumented Testing to support test (Ground Static and Flight Test) of the proposed design.

1. Quantify the effects of an engine inlet filtration system on the current power/temperature margins of the T55-GA-714A engine as installed on the MH-47G.

1. Minimize EBF system performance losses in the event of component failure or filter contamination due to blockages of either sand/dirt/dust or build-up of icing with provisions to bypass the filtration system should the system become obstructed / clogged. This bypass feature shall be designed as a “fail-safe” system (i.e. bypass shall open with the removal of electrical power) and activate automatically as filtration conditions and system performance dictate.

1. Design shall include a Cockpit indication (powered for threshold) and potentially a pre-flight indication (static for objective) of the status of the Filtration System and the level of filter contamination (if a media filter design approach is used) is required (a “Delta Pressure” status indicator).

1. The developer / manufacturer of a proposed solution shall provide and quantify Reliability, Availability and, Maintainability (RAM) elements of the design solution.

1. Provide sustainment solutions (i.e. time before overhaul limits, maintenance schedules, and maintenance practices). The Maintenance Concept for this system is that all maintenance shall be conducted at the AVUM level and that no special tools shall be required to support this system and that the maintenance schedule would be presumed to be, “On Condition”.

1. System Safety shall be considered during the development of the system design and the design shall be such that potential for injury to personnel and/or equipment damage is minimized during operations, servicing, maintenance, repair or adjustment of the system. During design and development process hazards that may be indentified shall be either eliminated or the risk reduced to an acceptable level. Hazards assessed as 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, or 2C are considered as unacceptable and shall not be introduced (Ref 2h).

1. Detailed design for a mounting system on the MH-47G.

1. Data providing design life expectancies of the EBF system. It is expected that the design life of the EBF assembly is not less than 2,000 flight hours. (though the re-useable and replaceable filter elements may not last that long)

1. Provide a list of the materials used in the proposed design along with a structural loads assessment to be used as a baseline for follow-on Airworthiness Substantiation.

1. Provide drawings of the proposed design solution to include both mechanical and electrical system components and the proposed installation on an MH-47G. The drawing package shall include a mass properties assessment and weight and balance data. A modal frequency (RAP) test shall be conducted to ensure the design components do not fall within any of the MH-47G or T55 engine natural harmonic frequencies.

1. General Limitations in the proposed Design due to specification Aircraft Design Guidance or limitations imposed by the Engine System PIDS Design Guidance or criteria for inlet air in the Engine PIDS Integration Requirements:

14. Inlet Distortion Limits: Shall not be less than as defined in Ref 2g, Appendix D.

14. Allowable Connected Loads (to the engine): Limits as defined in Ref 2g, Fig. 26.

14. The maximum rated airflow for the proposed design shall be no less than 29.1 LBM/second at Sea Level ISA per Ref 2g.

14. The system shall be able to flow a minimum of 27.0 LBM/second at Sea Level ISA when in the Bypass Condition with a full blockage of the filter elements and shall not “dump” the accumulated sand/dirt into the engine when the Bypass system is opened

14. The filtration system shall be capable of exposure to surge pressures generated from the engine system with damage. The engine surge limitations for inlet design with this class of engine are no less than a 10 psig internal pressure surge for 0.10 ± .025 seconds.

14. The pressure differential detection system shall provide an indication to the cockpit when the pressure drop across the filter reaches 20 inches of water with an accuracy tolerance of ± 2 inches of water.

14. Environmental and Impact Resistance: The EBF shall be designed to withstand the impact of a 3 pound bird at a velocity of 125 knots to the front panel assembly; while this does not infer that the system will not incur damage from the object impacting the system without sacrificing the structural integrity of the design in such a manner as to induce FOD into the engine. Hail protection shall be afforded against hail stones of 2 inch size with a specific gravity of 0.7 at up to 145 knots striking the front and the side panels at oblique angles. The EBF shall protect against hail entry or EBF component entry into the engine from these impacts and the EBF shall remain firmly attached to the aircraft.

14. Other Mil Spec 461 and MIL Spec 810 qualification specific requirements shall be defined in the SOW but should be seen as Aviation Industry Standard, are defined in the referenced specifications and shall be available from the Contracting Officer upon request.

3.2 The Contractor shall develop hardware suitable for demonstration and testing in an integrated test environment. This hardware shall consider Safety of Flight Airworthiness requirements being developed in parallel by the Technology Applications Program Office and the Aviation Engineering Directorate (AED) to support future flight testing and qualification.

3.3 The EBF hardware shall be tested in an integrated environment resulting in test data quantifying and demonstrating the requirements outlined in 3.1, specifically to include:

1. Performance of the technical solution as air flow changes are introduced via changing environmental conditions (i.e. rain, sand, salt contamination), foreign object debris (e.g. birds), varying engine performance (i.e. compressor surge), and any other abnormal condition affecting optimal pressure distribution. This system performance should also demonstrate the automatic bypass feature functionality and the ability to manually override.

1. Maximum negative pressure differential with and without any bypass feature.

1. Mechanical shock per Ref 2f.

1. Electromagnetic interference concerns per Ref 2g.

3.5 The Contractor shall conduct all required data research and collection required to support hardware/software development and integration for potential future aircraft integration, testing and system qualification. The objective of the U.S. Government (USG) is that this test hardware procured within this effort will be used in any required follow-on effort(s) for flight test and qualification purposes on an MH-47G aircraft.

3.6 The Contractor shall provide a Price for future procurement / production of an EBF system. This information may be used by the USG for future program planning purposes.

4.0 Security Requirements: This program is UNCLASSIFIED.

5.0 Item Unique Identification (IUID): N/A. End item of this RDT&E program will be prototype hardware and corresponding documentation; hence no requirement for IUID marking shall be mandated.

6.0 Government Furnished Property/Information: The following government furnished property/information will be provided to support this development effort.

1. T55-GA-714A engine bell-mouth, inlet adapter assembly (“doughnut ring”) as required to support the specific vendor’s detailed design interface.

1. The USG shall not procure a copy of the Honeywell Engine Performance Deck / Performance Model of the T55 engine for bidder / suppliers but will “sponsor” the awardeeto gain a copy as desired.

(ii) What labor or materials or both have been or may be added, deleted, or wasted by the alleged change;

(iii) To the extent practicable, what delay and disruption in the manner and sequence of performance and effect on continued performance have been or may be caused by the alleged change;

(iv) What adjustments to contract price, delivery schedule, and other provisions affected by the alleged change are estimated; and

(6) The Contractor's estimate of the time by which the Government must respond to the Contractor's notice to minimize cost, delay or disruption of performance.

(c) Continued performance. Following submission of the notice required by (b) above, the Contractor shall diligently continue performance of this contract to the maximum extent possible in accordance with its terms and conditions as construed by the Contractor, unless the notice reports a direction of the Contracting Officer or a communication from a SAR of the Contracting Officer, in either of which events the Contractor shall continue performance; provided, however, that if the Contractor regards the direction or communication as a change as described in (b) above, notice shall be given in the manner provided. All directions, communications, interpretations, orders and similar actions of the SAR shall be reduced to writing and copies furnished to the Contractor and to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer shall countermand any action which exceeds the authority of the SAR.

(d) Government response. The Contracting Officer shall promptly, within 30 calendar days after receipt of notice, respond to the notice in writing. In responding, the Contracting Officer shall either--

(1) Confirm that the conduct of which the Contractor gave notice constitutes a change and when necessary direct the mode of further performance;

(2) Countermand any communication regarded as a change;

(3) Deny that the conduct of which the Contractor gave notice constitutes a change and when necessary direct the mode of further performance; or

(4) In the event the Contractor's notice information is inadequate to make a decision under (1), (2), or (3) above, advise the Contractor what additional information is required, and establish the date by which it should be furnished and the date thereafter by which the Government will respond.

(e) Equitable adjustments.

(1) If the Contracting Officer confirms that Government conduct effected a change as alleged by the Contractor, and the conduct causes an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether changed or not changed by such conduct, an equitable adjustment shall be made--

(i) In the contract price or delivery schedule or both; and

(ii) In such other provisions of the contract as may be affected.

(2) The contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. In the case of drawings, designs or specifications which are defective and for which the Government is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include the cost and time extension for delay reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempting to comply with the defective drawings, designs or specifications before the Contractor identified, or reasonably should have identified, such defect. When the cost of property made obsolete or excess as a result of a change confirmed by the Contracting Officer under this clause is included in the equitable adjustment, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of the property. The equitable adjustment shall not include increased costs or time extensions for delay resulting from the Contractor's failure to provide notice or to continue performance as provided, respectively, in (b) and (c) above.

Note: The phrases “contract price” and “cost” wherever they appear in the clause, may be appropriately modified to apply to cost-reimbursement or incentive contracts, or to combinations thereof.
