PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

RADAR FOAM REPAIR

SPECIFICATIONS FOR REPAIR OF AIRCRAFT PARTS for the AIR FORCE REPAIR

ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (AFREP)

1.0 SCOPE

Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, to perform services required to repair and return F-16 Radar Absorption Panels to a serviceable condition, as defined in this PWS.

1.1 Background

Radar Absorption Panels installed on the F-16 Radar system are intended to provide protection for the radar system’s microelectronics and to improve the target detection sensitivity (capability) of the radar system. The radar absorption panels are of differing sizes and shapes strategically placed around the front of the radar processor package. Over time, the foam absorption material dries out losing its elasticity which results in cracks forming in the material and/or pieces of the foam becoming dislodged from the panels. In either case, the net result is degradation in the radar system protection characteristics which the absorption panels are intended to provide. The part numbers and stock numbers of the panels are identified below.
