1.0 Description of Services

1.1 Objective(s): This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the services required to provide Specialized Engineering Studies on the AC-130J aircraft modified with the W.R. Davis Infrared Suppression System (IRSS). These engineering services include analyzing the effects of the IRSS system, as designed and installed, on the AC-130J engines. Contractor must work collaboratively with the AFLCMC/WIU engineers and equipment specialists (as needed) as well as other contractors, including but not limited to Rolls Royce, the engine manufacturer, and Lockheed Martin (LM), to analyze the impacts the IRSS system created on the engines and determine how much of the life of the engines has been affected, all of which could affect the service contract on the engines. Analysis of the IRSS integration shall include, but not be limited to:

· Exhaust system airflow

· Impact on engine power – Ground, flight, degraded engine, degraded modification

· Impact on exhaust gas temperature margin.

· Engine transient operation

· Ground operations

· Engine compartment ventilation

· Fire detection and suppression

· General impact on engine life

1.2 Benefit to United States Air Force (USAF): This acquisition will benefit the United States Air Force (USAF) by providing the engineering analyses required to determine if and when the Government could expect to see any potential issues on the engines for aircraft modified and operating with the IRSS system installed. These potential issues could affect future costs for repair by voiding the warranty of the engines, increasing the time between maintenance required on the engines, and possibly the potential for early replacement of the AC-130J engines.

1.3 Background: The requirements for the W.R. Davis IRSS system installed on the AC-130J aircraft were identified prior to the beginning of the program and required that the addition of the IRSS system have minimal to no effect on the wings and have minimal to no performance degradation on the engines of the aircraft. Initially, there were many analyses accomplished (including but not limited to: airframe structural analysis, flutter, wing fatigue and durability and damage tolerance analysis (DaDTA), vibration, gun blast and vibro-acoustics, which were completed by LM and eventually the computational fluid dynamic (CFD), also known as the drag analysis, that was completed by MERC to satisfy these requirements including the performance analysis to show that the addition of the IRSS system would not degrade the performance of the engines. However, the one analysis that was not accomplished was how the installation of the IRSS system would affect the actual mechanical operations of the engine. The Government has a contract in place to sustain the C-130 engines, and any modifications to the aircraft that could affect that normal operation has to be evaluated to determine the effects the modification would have on the engines. Engine installation affects have a large impact on engine performance such as increasing drag (which requires more thrust and higher throttle settings) and increased backpressure (which requires the engine to work harder to maintain power). These result in hotter running temperatures that may impact the life of critical engine parts. Previous studies have been completed on AC-130W aircraft modified with an IRSS system designed by Liberty Works and determined there was no impact on the engines when those suppressors were installed on the AC-130W. Data must now be analyzed for the W.R. Davis IRSS system to show what impacts potentially exist on the AC-130J engines.
