3.3.2 NOSIH AA-2 First Article Testing at NSWC IHEODTD

NSWC IHEODTD reserves the right to repeat AS 2543H specification testing to verify product conformance to requirements. NSWC IHEODTD will manufacture and inspect a minimum of 500 MK 90 MOD 0 Propellant Grains per AS 2544U.

Following manufacture of the first article units, motors will be assembled and subjected to testing at NSWC IHEODTD in accordance with AS 2544U. A quantity of 40 first article units will be subjected to temperature shock testing, x-ray inspected, and static fired (20 each at -50ºF and 150ºF). The temperature shock testing includes 3-1/2 temperature cycles with each cycle consisting of exposure to the low temperature limit of -65°F +/- 5°F followed by exposure to high temperature limit of +150°F +/- 5°F. The motors are conditioned at each temperature for 8-12 hours. An additional 60 motors will be selected and static fired (30 each at -50ºF and 150ºF). The ballistic test results will be assessed against the requirements of AS 2544U. A marginality of success will be performed to look for signs of incipient failure per AS 2544U.

The Government will document the results from the first article grain manufacture and motor testing performed at NSWC IHEODTD using contractor first article NOSIH-AA-2 carpet rolls. The Government will evaluate the contractor first article test report (CDRL A006) and NSWC IHEODTD test results. The Government will notify the

Contractor of the results of the evaluation within 45 calendar days after receipt of the first article test report and completion of the AS 2544U first article program.

3.4 Sheetstock Production

All sheetstock delivered shall be representative of the same processes and procedures used for manufacture of NOSIH-AA-2 sheetstock in accordance with Section 3.3 of this SOW or established manufacturing processes in the event the first article quantity is waived. This means that the sheet stock shall be manufactured and processed using the same facilities, equipment, material sources, production processes, methods, and procedures that were used during first article manufacture. If at any time, a production test lot fails to meet the requirements of the applicable specifications, SOW, and/or contract, the production lot submission will be rejected without further testing. Any change to the qualified baseline (facilities, equipment, materials sources, production processes, methods, and procedures) shall be evaluated per Section 4.3 to determine the level of verification required before resumption of production activities.

3.4.1 Sheet stock Manufacture

The NOSIH-AA-2 propellant required under this contract must be in the form of Class 2 carpet rolls, from lot sizes of 85,000 +/- 5,000 lbs (unless smaller quantities are ordered) and be per AS 2543H and the applicable documents listed in Section 2.0 of this statement of work. Samples per Section 3.5.1 of this SOW of NOSIH-AA-2 propellant shall be provided from each production lot. The Class 2 carpet rolls shall be coiled with a diameter of 14-3/4 ± 1/4 inches.

Propellant shall be 100 percent processed through metal detection prior to packaging and shipment. The carpet rolls shall be passed through a metal detector capable of detecting ferrous materials down to 4.8 millimeters in diameter, non-ferrous materials down to 6.35 millimeters in diameter, and stainless steel materials down to 7.6 millimeters in diameter. The certification of conformance shall reference completion of 100 percent metal detection on the material to be delivered. (CDRL A003)

Each lot of AA-2 propellant shall be assigned a lot number in accordance with MIL-STD-1168B.

3.4.2 Additional Carpet Roll Parameters

The Class 2 carpet rolls shall be coiled with a diameter of 14 3/4 ± 1/4 inches. No laps are allowed and gaps should be limited to 3/8 inches (maximum) between sheets on the carpet rolls. The center of the carpet rolls (i.e. hubs / cores), are formed out of one single sheet with an outside diameter of 3 ½ inches minimum. The inside diameter should be made as small as physically possible which generally is ½ inch.

3.5 Sheetstock Chemical, Physical, and Ballistic Testing

The test procedures noted in the specifications and additional clarifications in this document are the standards by which all testing shall be performed. For each carpet roll lot/delivery, including first article quantities, the contractor must perform testing and submit copies of all inspection/test results and any additional data to the NSWC IHEODTD Technical POC for review.

3.5.1 Product Conformance

The NOSIH-AA-2 sheet stock will be analyzed per the test requirements of Specification AS 2543H and per Table 1 below. Two sets of samples shall be taken. One set of samples will be analyzed by the contractor and the second set of samples will be shipped to NSWC IHEODTD for analysis. Each pair of samples shall be taken from the same location to ensure the samples are comparable.

Except as otherwise specified, the contractor may utilize his own facilities or any commercial laboratory acceptable to the US government, for testing and inspection of samples included in the TDP. Sample units will be randomly selected from the entire lot/test quantity. Unless otherwise specified, the sample units are considered to be destructively tested and are in addition to those delivered under the contract.

Prior to delivery, the lot shall have been inspected and met all other requirements of the contract. Unless otherwise authorized by the Government, a lot shall not be delivered if rejected for nonconformance to the detailed requirements of the specification(s), drawing(s), and SOW.
