1. Objective:

• To build upon efforts previously conducted under order N00164PL001 and N0016425FW526 between Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division , hereafter NSWC Crane, and Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc, hereafter Beaver Aero, that allowed each company to gain an understanding of the goals, data requirements and limitations.

• To conduct an on-going engineering analysis to evaluate the current P-8A Turret Deployment Drive System (TDDS) against the new estimated Navy Tactical Airborne Sensor (TAS) loads, as outlined in the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division Statement of Work and referencing documents Heavy Turret Deployment Unit (TDU)

• System Design Specification (SDS) (TAS-PLN-SPEC-0013) and SD-EN-004 Equipment Specification (Rev I), and to assess the feasibility of utilizing existing P-8 and MQ- 25 actuator/ball screw systems as potential solutions or starting points for the TDDS needed to support the heavier TAS turrets.

• To identify the necessary design modifications and performance considerations based on the available data and the anticipated operational TAS loads, and to define the scope and material required for a follow-on testing contract.

• To work with the US Navy and their current Turret Deployment Unit (TDU) system contractor, Magee Technologies LLC, hereafter MTech, to support overall system design.

2. Tasks:

Engineering Evaluation:

• Data Acquisition and Review:

o Data Provision: NSWC Crane will provide all available data, clearly indicating any preliminary estimates. Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc. will then analyze this data and provide results based on the data provided. Any limitations to the data will be noted in the results. Data may be revised and re-evaluated as needed during this effort.

o Obtain and review the following critical data from NSWC Crane/MTech:

Dynamic operating loads/Load profiles (time-based curves).

System Load Profile: Time-based curve of overall TAS system load.

Ball Screw Loads: Operating load for each ball screw (BS1, BS2, BS3), accounting for unequal aerodynamic loads.

Life requirements (hours, cycles).

Stroke length.

Speed requirements.

Power requirements.

Environmental requirements.

Positioning accuracy and repeatability.

Interface Requirements.

Material and Finish requirements.

Weight requirements.

Identification of specific performance requirements and sections within SCD 8090200490 and details within SD-EN-004 that are critical for evaluation against the new TAS loads and anticipated changes.

o Analyze the provided data to understand the operational demands of the TDDS (TAS) system.

Plug-and-Play Feasibility Evaluation:

o Based on the acquired operational data, evaluate the feasibility of using the existing P-8 and MQ-25 ball screw assemblies, motors, PCBs, and gearing for the TDDS

(TAS).

o Analyze the impact of operational loads on component fatigue life and performance.

o Assess the required modifications to existing systems for integration into the TDDS (TAS) application.

o Evaluate the electrical performance risks based on the MQ-25 electrical concessions.

o Evaluate the specific feasibility and design impacts of transitioning to a brushless motor and controller, with the critical constraint that the new solution must maintain compatibility with existing electrical interfaces and connector pin requirements.

Performance and Design Considerations:

o Identify potential performance limitations and risks associated with using existing systems for the TDDS (TAS).

o Document the necessary major design modifications, highlighting any deviations from the current P-8A TDDS design as documented in SCD 8090200490 and SD-EN-004.

Note: This analysis will identify expected major design changes, but due to the limited scope, it will not identify all design changes, SCD 8090200490 updates, or SD-EN-004 updates that would be necessary for a full design cycle.

o Document all assumptions that were made, including assumptions regarding the specific SCD requirements or SD-EN-004 details being evaluated.

Procurement Planning and Test Definition:

o Based on this analysis, Beaver Aero shall define the components, materials, Other Direct Costs (ODCs), and test equipment required for the subsequent physical testing phase. This includes defining the materials and developing a scope for future contract modifications or separate contract vehicle to fund these activities.

Reporting and Communication:

o Participate in monthly "Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs)" to provide current status, updates and address questions. Beaver Aero shall provide current status via PowerPoint slides or other similar media.

o Support Navy/MTech TAS TDU Design Reviews as necessary to provide TDDS specific information and answer questions. Notional scheduled TAS TDU Design Reviews are: PDR (11/21/2025), CDR (7/9/2026), but are subject to change.

o Prepare a written TDDS Analyses Technical Report (CDRL A001). The report shall document previous order N0016425FW526 and this efforts analyses, methodology, findings, feasibility assessment, risks/mitigations, design considerations and recommendations related to meeting the new estimated TAS loads, with reference to the evaluated SCD 8090200490 requirements or SD- EN-004 details.

o Government Review Comment Clarification Meeting: Following the Government's review of the Draft Technical Report, Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc. will participate in a single (1) joint meeting with the Navy to discuss and clarify any comments received. This meeting will ensure mutual understanding of the required revisions prior to final edits and final report submission.

3. Timeline:

• The estimated overall timeline for completing this scope of work is nine (9) months from the date of the signed agreement, with the target period of performance being August 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027. Beaver Aero shall provide on-going support and shall invoice the Government for each month’s support as delineated in the contract.

4. Deliverables:

• Participation and informal status updates of design analyses in PowerPoint presentations at each monthly TIM (MS Teams meetings).

• CDRL A001 Technical Report – TDDS Analyses Technical Report in accordance with this SOW and CDRL A001.

• Participation in a single joint Navy/MTech/Beaver Aero Review and Comment

Clarification Meeting.

• Revisions to the CDRL A001 Technical Report based on Government review, as clarified and agreed upon during the Government Review Comment Clarification Meeting, will be limited to corrections of factual errors, clarifications of existing content based on the scope of work, and completion of any work identified as incomplete within this defined scope. Any requests for analysis or content outside this defined scope will be considered a change in scope and subject to separate agreement and potential modification to the contract.
