PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY TESTING

OF THE

ANEROID-ACTUATED INITIATOR

DODIC JM55

P/N SO4-10024-530

NSN 1377-01-519-3370

General Introduction NSWC IHEODTD specializes in life cycle support for cartridge-and propellant-actuated devices (CAD/PADs). This includes exploratory development, qualification, acquisition, and comprehensive product and logistics support. The CAD/PAD Division administers, manages, and conducts development, engineering, procurement, and logistics support functions for CADs and PADs and Aircrew Escape Propulsion Systems (AEPS) for the DoD.

Scope NSWC IHEODTD requires test support in order to evaluate the performance and reliability level of the items listed in Table I. This will entail performing non-destructive tests and ballistic/functional tests in accordance with specification listed in Section 2.0 and providing data sheets in addition to testing summaries to the Government. The provided results will be compared directly with lot acceptance test (LAT) data to ascertain the effects of age and service exposure on performance and reliability. Quantities listed are approximate and could change, however; the government reserves the right to test less than the number listed in Table I if desired.

Table I.

Applicable Documents Document 4-10024-530(01) Rev B Title ACCEPTANCE TEST PROCEDURE FOR INITIATOR ASSEMBLY, ANEROID ACTUATOR PN SO4-10024-530

Requirements The contractor shall conduct and document ordnance assessment test and analysis associated with the item given in Table I. All tests will be conducted in accordance with the documents listed in Section 2.0. In the event that any of the documents listed has changed, the government shall be notified of the change and be provided a copy for concurrence. The contractor shall provide the instrumentation, test equipment, gauges or any other equipment needed to support this effort. The testing is to be completed within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of GFM, including delivery of data. The contractor shall provide a report of all non-destructive and destructive test results in accordance with sections 2.1 through 2.5 and as outlined in CDRL A001.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) NDT shall occur in the order it is listed Visual Inspection The contractor shall perform a visual inspection of the items listed in Table I to identify any physical anomalies. This will include identifying any damage that could affect function or installation. Any damage identified shall be documented and photographed. Inspection data shall include a record of the lot number, serial number, and date of manufacture.

Radiographic Inspection The contractor shall perform a radiographic examination on the items listed in Table I in accordance with the applicable documents listed in Section 2.0 to identify any internal anomalies. Radiographic film will be provided if requested by the Government. This shall be done to provide a record of pre-fire condition in the event of a performance anomaly or failure during performance testing.

Ballistic/Functional Examination The contractor shall perform Ballistic/Functional tests on the items listed in Table I in accordance with the applicable documents listed in Section 2.0 to verify that they meet the applicable specification requirements. The contractor shall also provide a summary of the ballistic test results (data sheets) after data reduction, also listing the acceptance criteria.

Performance Testing Prior to performance testing, all the items listed in Table I shall have completed the NDT listed in sections 2.2 in accordance with the applicable documents listed in Section 2.0. Also prior to performance testing, temperature condition the specified test sample at the temperatures identified in the Government supplied sample identification/temperature breakdown. Government concurrence is required before conditioning the sample. Performance test fire each unit within the time frame of removal from the conditioning chamber in accordance with the documents listed in Section 2.0.

Performance Testing Failures In the event of a failure the contractor shall be limited to verifying the test setup and taking a post-fire x-ray of the unit(s) with a failure alongside a successfully functioned unit. If possible an unfired unit should also be included in the x-ray. The contractor must retain any failed units for at least 90 days after testing or until released for disposal by a government representative, whichever occurs first. Contractor shall ship failed unit(s) back to the government upon request.

Unless otherwise stated in the ATP, or at the discretion of the government witness(es), testing shall continue after a failure is observed.

Deliverables

a. Ballistic traces for each performance test, with one trace being clearly marked as to where the specification parameters are being taken from (if applicable).

b. Summary of the ballistic results (data sheets) after data reduction that also lists acceptance criteria

c. Non-destructive inspection results including x-ray reports and radiographic film

d. Description of the item listed in Table I including its make-up and functioning

e. Description of the test procedures

f. Pictures and block diagram of the test setup with call outs

g. Pictures and block diagram of the item listed in Table I with call outs.

h. Inspection records of the associated test fixture and data acquisition equipment including details of the setup such as sample rates, filtering (in-line or post), smoothing/averaging, etc…

i. Failure results as described in Section 2.3.1.1 (if applicable)

j. LAT data for the lots represented in the test samples to also include the means and standard deviations per parameter and temperature (if applicable).

Other The contractor shall be responsible for disposing of all remaining test samples and any related hardware upon completion of the test.

Test Witnessing The Indian Head Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technical Division (NSWC IHEODTD), Ordnance Assessment/ Logistics Branch, shall be responsible for monitoring/witnessing all requirements imposed under this SOW to ensure compliance. The NWSC IHEODTD point of contact (POC) shall be notified of all programmed testing at least 20 working days prior to commencement of the test.

Period of Performance (POP) Period of performance: 120 days after receipt of GFM. This includes all deliverables listed in Section 2.4, which shall be delivered NLT 30 days after completion of testing.
