L/Paragraph 1.3.2
Please confirm the following assumptions:
Assume that all STEB fiber interfaces are coming in through FOCS as there are no new cables supporting this capability identified in the TI-26 Virginia Class GFI provided with the proposal. Additionally assume that the STEB I/O panel in the Internal Countermeasure Launcher (ICL) Room that was crossed out in the TI-26 ES Virginia Class GFI will be included in the GFI provided by another subsystem.
Request the following referenced documents be provided:
• No 130: Payload Design Document & Interface Control Document (ICD) STEB-
PDD-002
• No 131: Requirements for Submarine Tethered Expendable Buoy STEB-REQ-00 identified in the TI-26 Virginia Class GFI provided with the proposal. Additionally assume that the STEB I/O panel in the Internal Countermeasure Launcher (ICL) Room that was crossed out in the TI-26 ES Virginia Class GFI will be included in the GFI provided by another subsystem.
These documents are referenced in the System Performance Spec but not included in the GFI library.
Navy confirms assumptions and provides requested GFI
The assumption is confirmed.
No. 130 was uploaded in the TDL on Friday 8/25/23.
No. 131 should be on the CD that was part of the classified transmittal.
4 8/24/2023 137 Section
L/Paragraph 1.3.2
Was R-CI2A/W00202 DF VIDEO cable intentionally removed from the TI-26 Virginia Class GFI? This is the COAX cable that brings the Imaging Mast MB DF Video and HB DF Video from Bay 9 down to the ESM Room on legacy systems and is used in MTI, LPPM and Type 20 (HB DF Video) mast configurations
Navy confirms removal of cable or update GFI to include the cable
The DF Video cable was removed for BLK-VI NCON (not TI-26+ MOD) to address compliance with ship’s specification 304 with regards to low smoke requirements, and that it is expected to be provided over fiber. An analysis was performed that if that does not hold true that the conduit between CSES1-09 and ESM-S could support routing the RF lines.
