040 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION

040-1 Background

The eleven (11) meter Rigid Inflatable Boat’s (11m RIB) is a multi-purpose platform with several missions. The terrorist attacks on the USS COLE (12 October 2000) and on multiple United States (U.S.) homeland targets (11 September 2001) added multiple missions for the 11m RIB, including:

· Anti-terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP)

· Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO)

· Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS)

· Safety Boat / Escort

· Tow and Recovery Boat

· Personnel and Cargo Transfer

A critical operational requirement for shipboard 11m RIBs is that each boat must be carried aboard and deployed from a variety of U.S. Navy ship classes. For the boats to be deployable from multiple ship classes, each boat must be compatible with a variety of existing shipboard handling and stowage systems including traditional davits and stowage chocks, and a variety of ship class specific launch, recovery, and handling systems.

A variant of the 11m RIB is used onboard the LPD-17 Class ships. This variant is configured with a lifting frame and Cranston Eagle hook for interface to the Positive Control Derrick Head (PCDH) on the knuckleboom crane and Caley davit docking head used on LPD-17 Class ships.

A variant of the 11m RIB is used for increased AT/FP, MIO, and VBSS requirements. These expanded mission sets are referred to herein as Enhanced VBSS (EVBSS). This variant uses the 11m RIB LPD-17 configuration as a baseline with increased engine horsepower to meet higher cruise and sprint speed requirements.

The 11m RIB platform entered service with the U.S. Navy in early 2000’s. Since then major changes to the 11m RIB configuration have been designated with subsequent Mk numbers. This Specification refers to the 4th version of this boat, the 11m RIB Mk4.

040-2 Variants

This Specification describes three variants of the 11m RIB Mk4; the base Open Center Console (OCC) variant, the LPD-17 variant, and the EVBSS variant.

Specification sections or Contract Drawings specific to only a specific variant will be designated as such in the section header or drawing title. The below table summarizes the differences between the variants throughout this Specification. Commonality between the variants shall be maintained for all major components such as engines, trailers, hoisting slings, and tie down straps. In other respects, commonality shall be maintained as much as practical.

042 GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

042-1 General Requirements This Specification describes the general requirements of the 11m RIB Mk4 and show the essential features, functions, and arrangements but not necessarily the details of the design. Together with the Contract Drawings they define the boat as to dimensions, structure, arrangement, performance, and power.

With respect to components, this Specification in conjunction with the Contract Drawings indicate the quantity of each major component required, together with such data as size, capacity, rating or power, and applicable specifications and standards or other technical requirements, which will enable the Contractor to procure or build the component.

With respect to systems, this Specification, in conjunction with the Contract Drawings define the characteristics of each system to be provided. They contain additional data such as capacity of the systems under various conditions and the flexibility and segregation requirements, which will enable the Contractor to prepare construction drawings and build the systems.

With respect to materials of construction and items of machinery, equipment, and outfit, which by their nature may be manufactured or procured as distinct items, this Specification contains only the requirements and information that pertain to selection, installation, on board performance, on board inspection and tests, pre-installation handling, inspection and tests by the Contractor. Requirements such as physical or chemical properties, manufacturer test and inspection requirements, or other requirements applicable only to manufacturers, are contained in specifications or standards, drawings, or in other documents referenced herein.

Where manufacturer's type, model, or other commercial designation is referred to herein, the characteristics in effect on the date of this Specification shall apply. Where model numbers or other commercial designations have been superseded since the date of this Specification, new model numbers or designations may be utilized provided the equipment characteristics associated with the new designation are the same as those associated with the superseded designation.

The Contractor is responsible for carefully and critically reviewing the Contract Drawings and this Specification prior to commencing the engineering design effort. If the Contractor finds any error, omission, discrepancy, or lack of clarity, he shall notify the Government’s Contracting Officer, in writing, not less than 15 days before commencing any work affected thereby, and request approval of the Contractor's resolution of the problem.
