BBU-58/A CARTRIDGE ACTUATED MOUNT CUTTER

DODIC SQ04

NSN 1377-01-423-1008

1.0 General

1.1 Introduction

NSWC IHD specializes in life cycle support for cartridge-and propellant-actuated devices (CAD/PADs). This includes exploratory development, qualification, acquisition, and comprehensive product and logistics support. The CAD/PAD Division administers, manages, and conducts development, engineering, procurement, and logistics support functions for CADs and PADs and Aircrew Escape Propulsion Systems (AEPS) for the DoD.

1.2 Scope

NSWC IHD requires test support in order to evaluate the performance and reliability level of the items listed in Table I. This will entail performing non-destructive tests and ballistic/functional tests in accordance with specification listed in Section 2.0 and providing data sheets in addition to testing summaries to the Government.

The provided results will be compared directly with lot acceptance test (LAT) data to ascertain the effects of age and service exposure on performance and reliability. Quantities listed are approximate and could change, however; the government reserves the right to test less than the number listed in Table I if desired.

Title

ACCEPTANCE TEST PROCEDURE FOR DEPLOYABLE FLIGHT INCIDENT

RECORDER SET (DFIRS) FRONT MOUNT (DFM)

2.1 Requirements

The contractor shall conduct and document ordnance assessment test and analysis associated with the item given in Table I. All tests will be conducted in accordance with the documents listed in Section 2.0. In the event that any of the documents listed has changed, the government shall be notified of the change and be provided a copy for concurrence. The contractor shall provide the instrumentation, test equipment, gauges or any other equipment needed to support this effort. The testing is to be completed within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of GFM, including delivery of data. The contractor shall provide a report of all non-destructive and destructive test results in accordance with sections 2.1 through 2.5 and as outlined in CDRL A001 and CDRL A002.

2.2 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

NDT shall occur in the order it is listed.

2.2.1 Visual Inspection

The contractor shall perform a visual inspection of the items listed in Table I to identify any physical anomalies.

This will include identifying any damage, cosmetic or functional. Any damage identified shall be documented and photographed. Inspection data shall include a record of the lot number, serial number, and date of manufacture.

2.2.2 Radiographic Inspection

The contractor shall perform a radiographic examination on the items listed in Table I in accordance with the applicable documents listed in Section 2.0 to identify any internal anomalies. Radiographic film shall be provided upon request by the Government. This shall be done to provide a record of pre-fire condition in the event of a performance anomaly or failure during performance testing.

2.3 Ballistic/Functional Examination

The contractor shall perform Ballistic/Functional tests on the items listed in Table I in accordance with the applicable documents listed in Section 2.0 to verify that they meet the applicable specification requirements. The contractor shall also provide a summary of the ballistic test results (data sheets) after data reduction, also listing the acceptance criteria.

2.3.1 Performance Testing

Prior to performance testing, all the items listed in Table I shall have completed the NDT listed in Section 2.2 in accordance with the applicable documents listed in Section 2.0. Also prior to performance testing, the sample shall be temperature conditioned at the temperatures identified in the Government approved sample identification/temperature breakdown. Government concurrence is required before conditioning the sample.

Upon removal from the conditioning chamber, each unit shall be fired within the time frame specified in the documents listed in Section 2.0.

2.3.1.1 Performance Testing Failures

In the event of a failure the contractor shall be limited to verifying the test setup and taking a post-fire x-ray of the unit(s) with a failure alongside a successfully functioned unit. If possible, an unfired unit should also be included in the x-ray. The contractor must retain any failed units for at least 90 days after testing or until released for disposal by a government representative, whichever occurs first. Contractor shall ship failed unit(s) back to the government upon request.

Unless otherwise stated in the ATP, or at the discretion of the government witness (es), testing shall continue after a failure is observed.

2.4 Deliverables

a. Ballistic traces for each performance test, with one trace being clearly marked as to where the specification parameters are being taken from (if applicable).

b. Summary of the ballistic results (data sheets) after data reduction that also lists acceptance criteria.

c. Non-destructive inspection results including x-ray reports and radiographic film.

d. Description of the item listed in Table I including its make-up and functioning.

e. Description of the test procedures.

f. Pictures and block diagram of the test setup with call outs.

g. Pictures and block diagram of the item listed in Table I with call outs.

h. Cutaway drawing of the item listed in Table I with call outs.

i. Inspection records of the associated test fixture and data acquisition equipment including details of the setup such as sample rates, filtering (in-line or post), smoothing/averaging, etc.

j. Failure results as described in Section 2.3.1.1 (if applicable)

k. LAT data for the lots represented in the test samples to also include the means and standard deviations per parameter and temperature (if applicable).

2.5 Other

The contractor shall be responsible for disposing of any remaining test samples and any related hardware upon completion of the test.

3.0 Test Witnessing

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) CAD/PAD Ordnance Assessment/Logistics Branch shall be responsible for monitoring and/or witnessing all requirements imposed under this SOW to ensure compliance. The NWSC IHD point of contact (POC) shall be notified of all programmed testing at least 20 working days prior to commencement of functional testing.

4.0 Period of Performance (POP)

Period of performance: 120 days after receipt of GFM. This includes all deliverables listed in Section 2.4, which shall be delivered no later than 30 days after completion of functional testing.

5.0 Disclaimer Statement
