PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION

USAF is requesting information and a ROM for the DMSMS resolution on the ALE-50 Launcher Controller, NSN: 5865-01-481-1841, P/N: G555563-4

The Launcher Controller currently has multiple DMSMS-related issues. The USAF (408th) is seeking to resolve these issues and ensure future demand can be repaired in a timely manner.

USAF is specifically concerned about the power supply resulting in a large portion of the failures but requests information to resolve all other DMSMS-related issues associated with the launcher controller.

Information and ROM should include necessary means to resolve DMSMS-related issues, which could include, but are not limited to, scrubbing the outdated BOM to find new sources, locating new potential vendors, and utilizing previously qualified components/sources to update the current configuration.

Planned testing will, at a minimum, be done using the currently approved Government Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP). Still, depending on the significance of the DMSMS-related issues, they may be subject to greater qualification testing at the piece part or LRU level. Any suggested testing will need USAF LCMC/HBY concurrence on testing greater than current ATP Requirements.

The aim of the information and ROM should be to achieve the following end result:

deliverables should include (2) -1841 Launcher Controllers with updated components that resolved the DMSMS issues, testing reports validating ATP or possibly more stringent testing, and formal ECP-noted changes describing the differences between the legacy configuration and the new modified configuration that resolved the DMSMS issues.
