Q: Drawing 23035592 is missing
A: The drawing in question, 23035592, is a Lockheed Martin drawing. There is also a comparable
Sunbank process drawing P.S.04M00018 that should be the same thing. We have spoken to both
Sunbank and Lockheed and they are unable to give us access to this drawing. The drawing is proprietary

Questions related to SPRHA2‐23‐R‐0297 and cannot be shared with the AF. Lockheed informed us that in the past they have purchased the full assembly, RFE23050499, directly from Sunbank. We would suggest this route for any vendor looking to build these cables for us. The different cables all use different configurations of RFE23050499 (i.e.
RFE23050499‐513 and RFE23050499‐521).
