MFGR Part No Description/Title Qty Configs (If applicable)
CA11641 Modified A-CABLE EXTENDER CABLES 4
SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:
The Ametek SCP A-cable extender cables were previously tested and approved through final acceptance testing by the for compatability and use in the existing infrastructure currently being used for weapons loading. These are the only cables capable of supporting the CCSM.and there is no other manufacturer able to produce these cables at the correct length with the required internal Electo Magnetic Interface (EMI) shielding which is required to perform these tests. This modification to the cables is required to support testing of weapons while of the wharf as opposed to testing the weapons after they are in the submarine.
Ametek SCP is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the A-cable extender cables.
If another manufacturer were to be used, the costs and schedule delays associated with training, certifications, creating new processes, and system downtime would greatly impact the weapon testing schedule. These procedures for approving/training a different manufacturer would not only cause extensive monetary increases but cause extensive slippages in schedules.
