DISCLAIMER
| DISCLAIMER | |
| 1 | This spreadsheet is only intended to serve as a reference and does not constitute a binding agreement between the facilitating Class Desk SE, a particular PM discipline, AIR 4.0P, or the person/parties requesting a NAVAIR SOF IFC. |
| 2 | This reference is not complete as not all PM disciplines have been represented. Additionally, some of the PM's represented have not formally reviewed this document for accuracy of information. This document was created by the Close Range UAS Class Desk (AIR 4.1.15 - Gary McQuay). It's purpose is to help requestors of UAS SOF IFC's better understand what types of data may be required to support a NAVAIR SOF IFC early-on before the IFC process is started. |
| 3 | The data requirements in this document were extracted/derived/compiled from past UAS SOF IFC's that AIR 4.1.1.5 has facilitated. It should be understood that a particular PM could require more or less data than what is listed for his/her particular discipline depending on the nature and circumstances of the IFC request. |
| 4 | This reference guide could be updated at any time with new information. |

IFC Process
| The NAVAIR UAS IFC Process Explained… | |
| 1 | The requesting organization makes a request for a NAVAIR UAS IFC. This is typically done through the 4.0P Airworthiness office. |
| 2 | The Class Desk Systems Engineer and the Airworthiness Office (4.0P) set up a Pre-Planning Meeting (PPM). The PPM serves as a means to allow the IFC requestor(s) and the NAVAIR IFC team to communicate directly with one another about the program in question. |
| 3 | At the PPM, the requesting organization briefs the Class Desk, 4.0P, and the engineering performance monitors (PM's) of their program objectives. The Class Desk, 4.0P, and the PM's take the opportunity to communicate to the requesting organization general data requirements that will have to be met before an IFC can be drafted and issued. As a side note, PM's serve as the technical experts who ensure that the IFC is drafted in such a way that risk to personnel/property and/or the system itself is within acceptable limits (as pertains to their particular engineering discipline). |
| 4 | If decided that a NAVAIR IFC is required, the Class Desk and 4.0P create a "chop list" of all PM's that must review/approve (i.e., "chop") the IFC. |
| 5 | Once the chop list is created, the Class Desk generates an IFC request with the help of the requesting organization and submits the request through the 4.0P website (https://airworthiness.navair.navy.mil/index.cfm?fuseaction=PublicHome.Home). The IFC request will serve as a draft IFC. As such, the IFC request will contain details regarding the system configuration and operating envelope/limits required to meet the program objectives. |
| 6 | 4.0P then generates a "draft" IFC from the IFC request and utilizes their web-site to notify all PM's of their new IFC work assignment. |
| 7 | The requesting organization then provides the appropriate amount of funding to the IFC team (Class Desk, Flight Test, PM's) and immediately begins providing the PM's with data to answer their preliminary data requirements. This will often be an iterative and somewhat rigorous process wherein answers to PMs' questions will often generate additional data requirements. A NAVAIR IFC cannot be issued without funding! |
| 8 | As data is exchanged between the requesting organization and the engineering PM's, the PM's will individually modifiy the IFC draft as appropriate until they are satisfied that, with respect to their particular discipline, the system poses minimal risk to personnel and property (Safety of Flight IFC) or additionally, if required, that it can safely attain, maintain, and terminate flight (Airworthiness IFC). The Class Desk and 4.0P will facilitate the data exchange process. |
| 9 | If it happens that data requested by the PM's does not exist, then the following options can be taken to generate the requested data: (1) analysis/simulation, (2) lab/ground testing, and/or (3) flight testing. If, for some reason, it is still not possible to generate data that the Class Desk, 4.0P, and the PM's feel is necessary for IFC issuance, then the following options exist: (1) the IFC envelope/limits and/or configuration will have to be restricted/modified to bring risk to an acceptable level, and/or (2) appropriate "Warning", "Caution", and "Notes" statements will have to be added to the IFC that warn operators of identified risks and instruct them how to effectively mitigate them, and/or (3) the appropriate authority level will have to approve the risk level in the absence of a risk mitigation plan, or (4) NAVAIR will not issue an IFC. |
| 10 | Once all PM's have signed off on the IFC, the Class Desk reviews and gives his/her final approval/signature. |
| 11 | The 4.0P Senior UAS Engineer must then provide his/her final approval/signature. |
| 12 | 4.0P then generates and distributes a final IFC to all appropriate organizations/personnel. |

4.1.7 - E3
| AIR CODE: | 4.1.7 | |||
| ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE: | Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) | |||
| NAME | WORK PHONE | WORK EMAIL | ||
| PERFORMANCE MONITOR(S): | ||||
| DATA REQUIREMENTS: | ||||
| The following would provide electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) support for a proposed flight clearance. Most flight clearances will require only an applicable subset of this data. See the latest version of MIL-STD-464 for details of aircraft- and system-level E3 requirements. | ||||
| 1 | Describe the system or modification for which the flight clearance has been requested. Do not neglect ancillary equipment, if this equipment is used when aircraft engines are on. (An obvious example of such ancillary equipment would be a land- or ship-based “command and control” console for unmanned aerial vehicles.) | |||
| a. Include an overall description of constituent electronic/electrical components and wiring, whether new, modified, or deleted. | ||||
| b. Include the frequencies, powers, modulations and bandwidths of any radio-frequency (RF) transmitters or receivers. Also include antenna types and gains. Cite any submittals of DD Form 1494, “Application for Equipment Frequency Allocation”. | ||||
| c. Include changes to software which might affect the action of a component in response to electrical noise or disruption. | ||||
| d. Include changes to mechanical components---those which might adversely affect lightning safety, accumulation of electrostatic charge, or other E3-related concerns. | ||||
| e. Include additions, deletions, or changes with respect to electrically-initiated explosive devices (including munitions). | ||||
| 2 | Describe any manner in which the requested flight clearance involves---or might affect---flight-critical equipment. (Flight-critical equipment is usually listed in the NATOPS---for military systems---or in an operating/servicing manual). Describe the manner is which flight safety might be degraded by disruption or malfunction of the system/modification described in the requested flight clearance. | |||
| 3 | Describe the intended operational environments. | |||
| a. Describe where the system will be used (For example, will flight be limited to restricted airspace above sparsely-populated military ranges, or could flight occur anywhere in the world? Will the system be used aboard one or more classes of air-capable Navy ships?) | ||||
| b. State whether or not operations might be conducted when lightning is a possibility. | ||||
| 4 | Describe the measures taken to ensure proper E3 performance of the system or modification covered by the requested flight clearance. | |||
| a. Summarize specific design steps taken to ensure adequate E3 performance, such as those relating to electrical cable design, electrical/electronic circuit design, electrical shielding, continuity of electrical shielding, electrical bonding of mating surfaces, etc. | ||||
| b. Summarize steps taken to preclude radiation hazards: hazards of electromagnetic radiation to personnel (HERP), to ordnance (HERO), and to fuel (HERF). Summarize the details and results of any tests (or analyses), and describe any necessary precautions (such as “keep away” distances). | ||||
| c. Summarize the details and results of electromagnetic interference (EMI) tests of constituent equipment. (Ideally, tests would be in accordance with the latest version of MIL-STD-461.) | ||||
| d. Describe the operating modes and results of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests, including any EMC safety-of-flight tests (SOFTs). | ||||
| e. Summarize the details and results of immunity testing (or analyses) against disruption by external RF emitters. | ||||
| f. Summarize the details and results of susceptibility tests against electrostatic discharge (ESD), such as ESD caused by handling of electronic equipment, ordnance, or the constituents of either. | ||||
| g. Summarize the details and results of testing against the adverse effects of precipitation static on RF receivers. | ||||
| h. Describe the testing and measures taken to assure that neither direct nor indirect effects of lightning will impair flight safety. | ||||
| I. Summarize the details and results of testing to assure that spurious RF emissions will not reveal aircraft presence to hostile forces. (MIL-STD-464 refers to this as emissions control, or EMCON.) | ||||
| 5 | If the system processes classified information, cite the required TEMPEST test or TEMPEST vulnerability assessment. |
