Performance Work Statement for

Powered Inertia Reel Device Automatic Deployment Unit

Purchase Request: FD2060-24-00037

13 October 2023

PR: FD2060-24-00037 PWS REVISION: 0 2

1.0 Description of Services: This Peformance-Based Work Statement (PWS) is for the repair of the powered inertia reel device (PIRD) National Stock Number (1680-99-958-2695MH-P/N:

MBEU205146) and Automatic Deployment Unit (ADU) National Stock Number (1680-99-695- 3410MH-P/N: MBEU201010). These critical components are used on the T-38C ejection seats ensuring safety of flight. The PIRD is located in the center of the seat back just below the headrest. The inertia reel fulfills two functions: (1) it acts like the shoulder belt in a car, restraining the pilot against a 2gx forward (-x) motion. (2) Upon ejection, it retracts the pilot to an upright posture to minimize the possibility of spinal damage due to spinal misalignment upon catapult ignition.

On the left side of the seat bucket a handle which allows the crew member to manually lock the reel prior to intense maneuvers or landing to prevent possible injuries. Firing of the seat is initiated by pulling one of the ejection Catapult Seat Pull Handles, also known as the ADU mounted on the seat bucket sides. The side pull handles are mechanically linked so that raising one will lift the other as well. Raising the handles actuates a pair of initiators via mechanical linkages.

1.1 Objective(s): This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the services required to repair components back to serviceable condition for the T-38C Ejection Seat Program. The repair shall be in accordance with applicable Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards and test requirements and performed by contractor personnel.

1.2 Benefit to United States Air Force (USAF): This repair acquisition will benefit the United States Air Force (USAF) by providing the mandatory repair needed to achieve the Air Force missions and safety of the crew members.

1.3 Background: The T-38C Talon is a twin-engine, high-altitude, supersonic jet trainer used in a variety of roles because of its design, economy of operations, ease of maintenance, high performance and exceptional safety record. Air Education and Training Command is the primary user of the T-38 for joint specialized undergraduate pilot training. The Ejection Seat Program is sole sourced to Martin Baker Co. Ltd located in the United Kingdom. However, the ADU and PIRD is repaired at Martin Baker America located in Pennsylvania. The PIRD and ADU are part of the critical safety items associated with the build and function of the T-38C Ejection Seats.

The primary function of the powered inertia reel device is to retract the straps on the ejection seat so it automatically places the pilot in position to withstand an ejection. The restraint provide support during aircraft maneuvers securing the pilot from being injured.

The primary fuction of the automatc deployment unit is allowing the seat to be raised via a pull handle. The ADU contains a cartridge that is fired upon ejection ensuring the seat bucket remains secure and the pilot can manually release when needed.
