STATEMENT OF WORK

Magnetic Intrinsic Calibration Systems Follow-on

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona Division, Measurement Science Department, U.S. Navy Metrology Research and Development Program Code MS00 requires research, testing and various training development scenarios. The Program Manager (PM) for the Navy and Marine Corps Metrology and Calibration (METCAL) Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Program requires Metrology and Calibration engineering support at the highest possible level. Provide cost-effective, uniform, and adequate Quality Assurance and measurement accuracy of Magnetics as it pertains to Magnetometry to support the most accurate types of precision coils, solenoids, magnetometers, reference magnets, and gauss meters that use direct current field calibration services using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) or quantum metrology techniques.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on a chip quantum metrology intrinsic, national and international standards development is required to meet this measurement requirement and provide electrical quantities to be determined in units that do not change with time and that are reproducible in any laboratory. The standards when coupled with various training scenarios and technologies to support of an unbroken chain of measurement and quality traceability for all applicable Test and Monitoring Systems used throughout the Navy and Marine Corps, industry, government industry, and academia needing the highest level of accuracy for DC Magnetics. This level of effort shall establish the most accurate intrinsic national and international commercial and military standard in the world.

2.0 BACKGROUND

The Navy and Marine Corps METCAL R&D Program is responsible for ensuring its products strictly adhere to the technical and engineering rigor as set forth by NIST measurement traceability requirement as it pertains to qualitative and quantitative traceability, analytics, metrics, measures, and standards as set forth and as directed by the Navy Technical Agent for METCAL. To maintain at least the four to one (4:1) Test Accuracy Ratio (TAR), appropriate Test Uncertainty Ratio (TUR), and when possible, acceptable derived Uncertainty Budgets (UB) between the unit under test, Test and Monitoring Systems (TAMS), and the calibration standards used in the calibration process. When industry, both national and international, is involved, then standards following the ISO 17025 and GUM shall be adhered too. The NAVAIR METCAL program currently has a 4:1 TAR deficiency, TUR deficiency and is unable to derive Uncertainty Budgets required in the Magnetics measurement area to fulfill the mandated requirements for a NIST traceable calibration system for low and midrange measurement types of magnetics. A new system is required to calibrate magnetometers and magnetics workload. This new system shall be installed at the Navy Primary Standards Laboratory (NPSL) in San Diego, CA. NIST does not offer a calibration service for magnetometers; however, the country’s need in this measurement area can be met.

The solution provider shall coordinate between affected laboratories and work together to provide a system at NPSL and other designated Navy, NIST, and DoD laboratories in which magnetic calibrations can be traced to NIST through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements or quantum mechanics metrology. This requirement directly impacts operational, combat readiness, life safety, and flight safety for NAVAIR and NAVSEA METCAL supported weapon systems (drones – airborne – sea skimmer – underwater), Submarines, Surface Ships, Aircraft Carriers, Air Craft, and equipment within the Department of Defense (DoD) to include national and international commercial testing laboratories and calibration laboratories.

3.0 SCOPE

The scope of tasks required are in specific areas of concentration for this level of effort and are focused on four major tasks to produce a new state-of-the-art Magnetics intrinsic (through NMR NIST on a chip techniques) calibration system. The focus will be a Mid-Gauss Prototype helium-3 sensor system with the main emphasis on fabricating the needed helium-3 cell technology. At the same time, helium-3 sensors shall be developed and fabricated. As these two efforts are advanced and matured, they will simultaneously coincide with the cell and sensor development efforts to produce a support control system.

The estimated total time for this developmental effort is approximately 23 months with a one-month final configuration integration and testing period for a total of 24 months.

Various types of training shall be developed throughout the period of performance. This shall set the technology stage for verifying the uncertainty and accuracy as a national standard for commercial high gauss system performance and will complete the total requirement for the total requirement for 100nT (low and mid gauss 50uT-50mT) to 1.5T. This new system shall serve as the new National Standard for the United States in the low and midrange Magnetics measurement area. The system shall adhere to evolving metrological science to develop quantum metrology standards are universal, allowing electrical quantities to be determined in units that do not change with time, and are reproducible in any laboratory.

Through this approach, the focus is on products and techniques that use optically pumped magnetometers.

These sensors report magnetic field based on measurement of the precession frequency of atomic spins in vapor.

The spin populations are polarized using light, hence the term, ‘optically pumped.’ This category includes scalar and vector magnetic field sensors. The system shall also directly support the Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) using Navy METCAL procedures using the round robin methodology. In order to use the MAP, matching Helmholtz and electromagnet solenoids or appropriate check or artifact standards shall be manufactured along with matching power supplies, software products, cables, connectors, and any required ancillary equipment needed to make a totally matched magnetics magnetometer calibration system.

5. REQUIREMENTS

5.1 MAGNETIC INTRINSIC CALIBRATION SYSTEMS

5.1.1 The contractor will provide intrinsic NMR and quantum technical engineering for designing, modeling, building, and testing with the required services solutions to provide a low, midrange, and, as design capabilities permit, a mid-to-high range magnetics new national standard for magnetometer calibration. There are additional requirements for support using the help desk, web-based, virtual, and augmented reality; classroom instructor-led, blended training (web-based and instructor-led); DVD/Blue Ray training, software systems, software engineering, and software reengineering in support of all current and future calibration support packages to be transitioned to all Navy METCAL support facilities designated Government installations. The current intrinsic standard maintained by the Navy Primary Standards Laboratory (NPSL) is a flowing water NMR Teslameter that uses pure, distilled water as the Proton NMR sample. This is the current intrinsic standard for magnetic field calibration measurements with an absolute accuracy of 300 ppm or better. It features a measurement range from

0.1 µT – 1.5T (14mG to 21.6kG) with a single small probe enabling precision NMR measurement to very low fields. Since the NMR probe measures the total amplitude of the magnetic field vector (rather than a single field component), the final reading is independent of accurate orientation. For measurement stability, the frequency source is a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) with an oven-controlled crystal oscillator as a reference. The current solution has an RS-232-C interface. The new desired configuration will be an IEEE-488 and USB interface as an option.

5.1.2 The contractor shall provide written technical data packages and deliver to the government how the level of effort outlines the feasibility of achieving the requirements for the proposed Navy Primary Standards Laboratory sensor development, as shown in Table 1. Here, the required operating range is from 100 nT (with 30 pT uncertainty) to 0.15 T (with 75 uT uncertainty). An additionally desirable operational range is up to 1.5 T, with 750 uT uncertainty.

Table 1: NPSL Specifications 8-30-16

5.1.3 The Contractor shall provide the design and development of automated calibration capabilities with a user manual mode of operation for testing and calibration of TAMS with the proposed solution. Table 2 outlines the technical requirements for a new intrinsic NMR magnetometer. The new intrinsic NMR magnetometer shall exhibit properties as a sensor that reports a magnetic field based on measuring the precession frequency of atomic spins in vapor. The spin populations are polarized using light. Hence the term ‘optically pumped.’ Fundamental physical principles of measuring magnetic fields with optically pumped spin-polarized atomic species in a vapor state are well established. The contractor shall deliver the second and final magnetics calibration systems (qty. 2) for the low gauss each for the low gauss calibration (final configured systems with changes). The contractor shall also deliver (2) calibration system each for the mid band gauss ranges as depicted in table 1, with all associated hardware suites in accordance with the tasks, and phase options selected by the government, as listed in Table all associated hardware suites to include the following minimum specifications (Table 2):

5.1.5 Process Measurement Assurance Program (PMAP). The Process Measurement Assurance Program (PMAP) consists of methodology and software to determine, control, and improve measuring processes. PMAP uses check (control) standards that represent the calibration output (or product) to evaluate the total measurement process, including the equipment, standards, personnel, procedure, and environment.

Measurements made with check standards that duplicate the process are called control measurements. Data from the control measurements are used to develop control charts and calculate measurement uncertainties as calibrations are produced. PMAP methodology calls for modeling the measurement process so that the data from control measurements realistically evaluate the uncertainty, which allows measuring the uncertainty rather than theorizing about or estimating uncertainties. The PMAP methodology includes the following components described in this section; modeling the process, selecting check standards, establishing values for check standards with independent reference standards, installing at the time of calibration for standards and equipment.

Controlling the accuracy of all standards, measurement process, assisting in determining calibration needs, and using statistical tests to make decisions on the process performance. Modeling the process requires knowledge of the measurement instrument and standards to determine which measurements will evaluate maximum process variability and potential bias in the range of use. The objective of each PMAP application is determined before selecting the required check standard or standards. When possible, the objective includes controlling the measurement process uncertainty and controlling the accuracy (established at calibration) of the working standards used. Control measurements are made to duplicate the measurement of the unknown artifacts or product. In a calibration laboratory, the control measurements must represent the type of standards that are submitted for calibration. Control measurements are made continually throughout the year at various times of the day; therefore, they evaluate environmental influences on the measurement uncertainties. Each metrologist who performs calibrations makes control measurements. Data can be used to evaluate how the operator’s skill and performance influence measurement uncertainty. Check (control) standards are selected to evaluate process variability and systematic errors in the range of use. They are chosen to evaluate the same variables that influence the calibration of a customer’s artifacts. Check standards should be calibrated with a sufficiently small uncertainty to help detect changes in the working standards by comparing each calibrated value with the history of measurements on the check standard. The value of the check standard should be established with a reference standard that is independent of the working standard and the reference standard used to calibrate it in the controlled process. If the check standards and working standards do not have independent calibrations, the program will probably not detect a bias or error, in the measurement process, although it may be detected during an outside calibration or a round robin exercise. After modeling the measurement process and selecting the check standard(s), the PMAP software evaluates and controls the measurement uncertainties. Four screens, called pages, are used to set up the software control program. The first page sets up the control file, the recall date for data analysis, archive file, measurement equipment and units of measure. The second page is used to input information about the standards used. This screen includes input for check standard identification number, uncertainties of standards used, calibration and expiration of working or reference standards used, and the established value of the check standard. The third page contains information on limits for the measurement process, including coverage factor (k) confidence intervals desired for uncertainty calculation, information for scaling the control chart, reference data, and other limits that can either be calculated by the program or entered manually. The fourth page allows input for titles and labels desired on each control chart. The Contractor shall deploy a similar PMAP program for use with MAP along with coordination with the Navy METCAL RDT&E program office, which will establish uncertainty budget analysis and risk to tools to use for uncertainty budget analysis of the system. The results shall be reported out as either an electronic or a paper product as to the performance of each Magnetics calibration systems uncertainty budget results.
