1.1 BACKGROUND

NSWCPD Code 426 has cognizance over Main Reduction Gears (MRG) for surface ships, including MRGs and MRG test stands for the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Program. The three (3)LCAC gearbox test stands for the engine gearbox, forward offset (lift fan) gearbox, and aft offset (propeller) gearbox are accountable as Government property in accordance with reference 2.1, and have been in service since 1975. The test stands are used to certify repaired gearboxes by spin, load (torque), and vibration (MIL STD 167) testing in accordance with references 2.2 and 2.3 and issue them back to the stock system as Condition “A” assets. This testing also includes a final test cycle where every gearbox that leaves the factory is operated at 110% of their max designed speed and torque values to ensure that they will not fail while in operation on LCAC craft.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall repair and upgrade three (3) Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) test stands. The LCAC gearbox test stands are used for performing spin and load tests, which are required for the verification of assembled or rebuilt LCAC gearboxes. The three (3) test stands consist of one test stand each for the forward offset gearbox, main engine gearbox, and aft offset gearbox.
