Question: The contractor has been in production of this item in the past 12 months can first article testing be waived on this requirement?

Answer: Waiver of first article will be determined at time of award but all offerors shall submit pricing in accordance with the FAT requirements of the solicitation providing unit price with FAT included. A price may also be submitted with FAT waived but this optional.

Q&A Amendment 8:

Booster Cup Requirement: The booster shall(0023) contain 1+/- .1 grain of HNS pressed to 32,000 +/- 1,000 psi.

Validation/Compliance: Booster cup load of 1 ±.1 grain does not met contractors established (12/1969) Booster cup load. [1 ±.1 grain is 64.8± 6.5 mg, Collins booster cup is 67±7 mg]. Appears in spec rounding to one digit in the requirement and possible rounding in actual grain to mg factor.

Exception/Question: The contractor takes exception and asks to use the booster cup as is. Contractors booster cup load is standard load size for all SMDC, FCDC, ECRL and TLX. Changing load originally qualified in 1969 could effect .285-inch dimension from face of booster cup to ferrule flang on Contractors top assembly drawing and Navy drawing 841AS425 (redesign and qualification).

IH response: Acceptable for all offerors.

Detonating Cord Sample Temp Hour Requirement Requirement: The 9 inch segments of the detonating cord sample shall(0068) be temperature conditioned for not less than 8 hours nor greater than 24 hours, one segment each at -65° ± 5°F and +350° ± 5°F.

SMDC.

IH Response: Contractor will be required to submit an RFV.

Fitting Nut Thread Size Torque Requirement: FITTING NUT .688 thread size .4375-20 UNF torque (inch pounds) 80-100 Validation/Compliance: Over torque for aluminum fitting nuts Exception/Question: Take Exception to requirement. Over torque for aluminum fitting nuts. Max torque is 90 in-lbs.

IH Response: Approved proposed torque range is within specification.

Fitting Nut Thread Size Torque Requirement: FITTING NUT .750 thread size .5000-20 UNF torque (inch pounds) 100-120 Validation/Compliance: Over torque for aluminum fitting nuts Exception/Question: Take Exception to requirement. Over torque for aluminum fitting nuts. Max torque is 90 in-lbs.

MIL-DTL-32154, Para. 3.9.1 only requires 90 in-lbs test IH Response: NOT APPROVED. Proposed torque range is not in accordance with the spec requirement.

Fire Test Assembly Requirement1: FIRE TEST ASSEMBLY BY TAPING A COMMERCIAL NO.6 ELECTRIC BLASTING CAP TO THE APPLICABLE SMDC TEST TIP INSTALLED IN TIE TEE CONNECTOR AND APPLY A FIRING CURRENT OF

5.00±.25 AMPS TO THE BLASTING CAP LEAD WIRES FROM A24-28 VDC SOURCE.

Requirement2: THE OUTPUT END OF THE BLASTING CAP SHALL BE IN INTIMATE CONTACT AND LONGITUDINALLY ALIGNED WITH THE EXPLOSIVE CORE OF THE DETONATING CORD PROTRUDING FROM

THE SMDC TEST TIP.

Requirement3: ALTERNATE THE DONOR SMDC TEST TIP BETWEEN FIRINGS SUCH THAT AN APPROXIMATELY EQUAL NUMBER OF FIRINGS IS PERFORMED AT EACH CONDITIONING TEMPERATURE, BY DETONATING THE SMDC TEST TIP IN-LINE WITH THE SMDC TEST SPECIMEN AND BY DETONATING THE

SMDC TEST TIP AT 90' WITH THE SMDC TEST SPECIMEN.

Validation/Compliance: Stating this is now an invalid requirement due to new set up.

Exception/Question: For safety Blasting caps no longer used, SMDC test tips replaced by HE TLX Test Tips with same 1 grain output as SMDC test tip. HE TLX Test Tip initiation is performed using a percussion primer.

IH Response: RFV will be required.

SMDC Lot Acceptance Test Specimen Requirement: STANDARD SMDC LOT ACCEPTANCE TEST SPECIMEN SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH

NAVAIR DWG 841AS425, SHEET 9.

Validation/Compliance: Stating this is now an invalid requirement.

Exception/Question: Sheet 9 on Dwg 841AS425AJ is a list of where used for the customer SMDC. Assumption is it should be Sheet 3 of 841AS425AJ. Contractor is compliant to Sheet 3 of 841AS425J.

Exception/Question: Contractor will use Sensitivity Test Fitting Drawing # 80017. Sensitivity Test Fitting 80017 qualified to Boeing 74B80225 SMDCs equivalent to the Navy 841ASA425 SMDCs. Collins Sensitivity Test Fitting complies with Navy Drawing 841AS801A IH Response: Drawing must be provided to validate for any offeror.

Connector Tee Requirement: CONNECTOR TEE DRAWING Validation/Compliance: Stating this is now an invalid requirement.

Exception/Question: Collins will use Standard SMDC configuration Connector Tee, PN 21738-2. Tee PN 21738-2 compliant to all dimensions shown on 841AS802, except additional design rounds bottom face to a full radius and some corners to .25 radius.

IH Response: Contractor must provide a copy of DWG PN 21738‐2 to validate concurrence

Exception/Question: Customer design is an old design not used by Contractor. The contractor will use Dent Block Holder Drawing # 80397. Dent Block Holder 80397 qualified to Boeing 74B80225 SMDCs equivalent to the Navy 841ASA425 SMDCs. Contractors holder does not require a threaded port for the SMDC.

IH Response: The contractor must provide a copy of DWG PN 80397. How to secure the booster tip against to the dent block?

Sensitivity Fitting Holder Requirement: SENSITIVITY FITTING HOLDER DRAWING Validation/Compliance: Stating this is now an invalid requirement.

Exception/Question: Customer design does not hold sensitivity fitting in and can allow sensitivity fitting halves to move apart changing internal volume. The contractor will use Sensitivity Holder, TN 12800-1, which is designed to capture and keep sensitivity fittings from coming apart.

Q&A Amendment 13:

1. Question: MIL-D-21625G Section 4.8.4 states "In the design verification test program there shall be no interim withdrawals. In the service release test program six cartridges each shall be removed at 0800 on the third and fourth Monday." For the first article, are we following the design verification test program or the service release test program?

Answer: The Design Verification test program for no interim withdrawals should be followed.

2. Question: MIL-D-21625G Section 4.8.6 states "Sealed in cartridge actuated actuated devices shall be subjected to the salt fog test for 168 hours. Cartridges installed in cartridge actuated devices will be subjected to a 168 hour salt fog test when the cartridge actuated devices are tested in accordance with MIL- D-23615." For the first article, are we doing the salt fog test for 48 hours or 168 hours?

Answer: For FAT the contractor should perform a 48 hours of exposure followed by 48 hours of drying.

They can also increase the number of cycles to provide a higher degree of confidence but I’m not sure if that’s related to the 168 hours mentioned in the MIL-D-21625G spec.

3. Question: MIL-D-21625G Section 4.8.5 states "The minimum acceleration power spectral density (Wo) for cartridges mounted in the cockpit of jet aircraft shall be 0.10 g2/Hz shall be approved by the cognizant design agency." Can you confirm the vibration spectrum for this part?

Answer: Vibration Spectrum should be 0.1 g2/Hz minimum with an Frequency between 5-85 Hz. See picture below. This spectrum profile only applies for cockpit zone.

4. Question: For the shock test, how many shock pulses in each axis?
