Ordnance and Aircraft Survivability Equipment

1. Scope

Certain Marine UC-35D aircraft are currently or may be equipped with Ordnance (Ammunition and Explosives (AE)) and Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE). The Contractor shall provide for the safe handling of all AE in accordance with applicable United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) Orders, Instructions, Directives, Naval Ordnance Maintenance Procedures, and DFARS clauses. The Contractor shall provide trained and certified personnel to safely maintain, load, and unload the expendable ordnance, e.g., AN/ALE-47(V) Counter Measures Dispensing Set (CMDS).

2. Ordnance

2.1 Program Support – The Contractor shall have an established Qualification and Certification program that meets the requirements of Marine Corps Order (MCO) 8023.3B – Personnel Qualification and Certification Program for Class V Ammunition and Explosives and OPNAV Instruction 8023.24B – Navy Personnel Ammunition and Explosives Handling Qualification and Certification Program. The Contractor shall designate a specific individual to manage the overall AE program as it pertains to contract requirements.

2.2 Certification Status Reporting – The Contractor shall ensure that Site Leads and mechanics that support aircraft equipped with AE are proficient, trained, and certified. (NAVSEA OP 5, Volume 1, appendix D provides a list of applicable training courses.) The Contractor shall report the certification status of all applicable personnel to include the individual’s name, site location, date of initial certification, expiration date, level of certification, and date of security clearance in accordance with Performance Work Statement, Attachment (1), para 3.16.

2.3 Deployment Requirements – The Contractor shall provide AE certified personnel to support aircraft deployments to OCONUS locations that require operational ASE.

2.4 Maintenance and Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation Requirements

2.4.1 The Contractor shall maintain AE in accordance with MCO 8023.3B and OPNAV Instruction 8023.24B. The Contractor shall also coordinate with each deployment site/military installation’s base/airfield operations to ensure all local AE plans and policies are followed.

2.4.2 The Contractor shall package, handle, store, and transport all AE in accordance with:

a) Naval Ordnance Safety & Security Activity (NOSSA) noted below in Section 4.0 b.

b) MCO 8023.3B and OPNAV Instruction 8023.24B.

2.5 AE Training

2.5.1 The Government will provide initial (train-the-trainer) training on the UC-35D ordnance loading checklist, which will include hands-on training on loading and unloading AE.

2.5.2 Travel and per diem costs associated with the training is not allowed.

3. Aircraft Survivability Equipment

3.1 Program Support – The ASE system utilized on the USMC UC-35D aircraft is composed of the AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Set (CMWS) and the AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispensing Set (CMDS). To fully support the ASE system(s), the Contractor shall coordinate with Government engineering and logistics support personnel from PMA-207 and PMA-272.

3.2 ASE Configuration Management – The Contractor shall establish, update, and maintain a configuration baseline for each aircraft, including an inventory of all installed and uninstalled ASE components, to include Communication Security(COMSEC)/Controlled Cryptographic Item (CCI) components stored by the Government, and sensor and dispenser cover plates.

3.2.1 The Government will store uninstalled COMSEC/CCI ASE system components. The Contractor shall store all other ASE components in a secure contractor location.

3.2.2 The Contractor shall install Government-furnished sensor and dispenser cover plates on aircraft that have sensors and flare magazines removed.

3.3 ASE Training

3.3.1 The Government will provide initial (train-the-trainer) training on the AAR-57 and ALE-47 systems, to include theory, description, operation, and troubleshooting of applicable ASE system(s).

3.3.2 If the Contractor elects to obtain training through the ASE OEM manufacturers, the Contractor must notify the Government for approval to ensure OEM training is adequate to support the ASE system.

3.3.3 Travel and per diem costs associated with the training is not allowed.

3.4 Maintenance and Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation Requirements

3.4.1 The Contractor shall maintain the ASE system in accordance with established practices, application publications, and instructions listed in Section 3.8 ASE Publications table. ASE system maintenance shall consist of preventative, scheduled, and unscheduled maintenance. Component troubleshooting will be limited to system Built-In-Test measures in order to isolate a faulty Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) within the ASE Weapons Replaceable Assembly. LRU components will be shipped to a Government-designated repair facility. Non-LRU items of the ASE suite, such as cable assemblies, mounts, fuse boxes, relays, switches, and circuit breakers, shall be repaired on site when possible. The Government will provide the parts, support equipment (see Section 3.6), and technical manuals/catalogs and system diagrams required to maintain Government-provided ASE systems.

3.4.2 Packaging, handling, storage, and transportation of all ASE, except for COMSEC/CCI shall be in accordance with NAVAIR Clause 5252.247-9520. Packaging, handling, storage, and transportation of COMSEC/CCI shall be in accordance with the Navy Electronic Key Management System 1.

3.5 Technical Assistance – When aircraft are deployed with operational ASE, the Government will provide system technical support. System technical support will consist of a 24/7 telephone Help Desk for CONUS and OCONUS support. Contact phone numbers will be included in the technical package delivered with each ASE-configured aircraft. In the event a system discrepancy cannot be resolved after thorough troubleshooting while deployed OCONUS, a technical representative will be available for dispatch to the site once notification is given to the UC-35 Integrated Product Team.

3.6 Special Tools and Equipment – The Contractor shall maintain all ASE in accordance with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technical specifications and manuals. The ASE-related special tools and equipment will be provided as Government furnished equipment (GFE) in accordance with Appendix C.

3.7 Mission Essential Asset – The ASE system will be designated as a critical Mission Essential List (MEL) item when the aircraft is deployed OCONUS in a high threat area. When the aircraft is Not Mission Capable for Supply (NMCS) for Government-furnished ASE, the time awaiting Government-furnished ASE is considered Non-Reporting Time (NRT).

3.8 ASE Publications – The following publications provide maintenance and technical information on ASE. Affected site personnel shall be familiar with and comply with these publications:

BAE SYSTEMS 94117-8417160-01
