1. Reference – Yuma Industry Day – Q&A - Answer 6

Question: 1a. The information provided for power and video connections is not clear. With respect to the statement: “A.6 The (AV) J10 connector is a Panel Mount multi-pin connector P/N 805-003-02M23-200BA. The mating connector P/N is 805-001-16M23-200AA.” Is this connector pictured in any of the provided photos? We have found a datasheet on this part number and it looks like the image below. This does not match any connectors seen during the inspection.

Answer: No, the connector was not available or photographed during Industry Day; the image provided is accurate.

1b. With respect to this statement about the HD encoder: “HD Encoder (AV) J1 P/N 805- 00302M9-1BB is located adjacent to J10 for HD video input. The mating connector is P/N 805- 002-16M9-1AB.” Is this statement for bidders? Do we need do anything with the encoder other than provide it video in HD-SDI format in a BNC connector?

Answer: Yes this statement is for Offerors. No, only video in HD-SDI format in a BNC connector is required.

1c.This picture was provided in the data pack. Can some details be clarified: Is 110V AC power available at all the indicted outlet connectors? Are they all available for bidder’s use (apart from the monitor power cable already in use)?

Answer: Yes, all available (apart from the monitor power cable already in use).

1d. Connectors A and B were labelled as ‘Aircraft power’. Is power being provided from any of these sources?

Answer: No connectors A and B will NOT be available for use by Offerors.

1e.Is connector C a source of power?

Answer: Yes, Connector C is a source of power and will be available for use by Offerors.

1f. Is an ICD, with signals/power allocated to specific pins, available?

Answer:

Connectors A (J1) and B (J2) on the Power Distribution Box (PDB) for both operator racks are primary power from the aircraft (Caution Aircraft Power picture) to system instrumentation and are not available for Offeror use. Each Offeror’s payload will be receiving power via the J10 Connector of the Shadow payload mount, which in turn will be connected to Connector C (J3). If the Offeror requires Connector C for power to their equipment to operate the payload, Connectors C (J4 and J5) will be available for their use. Mating Connector (vendor) P/N is MS3476W12-10P, pins A and C are 28 VDC, pins B and D are 28 VDC Return.

3. Attachment 6 requires FAA Approved Class 3 Flight Physicals to ride in Yuma Cessna during demo's starting on 24 Jan. Will Foreign equivalent flight physicals be okay since this is a "recommended" requirement in attach 6?

Answer: Yes, a foreign equivalent will be accepted. A flight physical is highly recommended as personnel will be preforming crew-like tasks on these flights.

4. Visitors are to provide JPAS Social Security Numbers for Demo attendance at Yuma. Will Foreigner's National ID # or Passport # suffice in place of Social Security #?

Answer: Yes, Passport number is preferred.

5. PHC will not release our Laser Safety Report for inclusion in the Demo Package due to the KO on 22 Dec, without the KO first directing PHC to release the Safety Report to us. Will the Government please direct PHC to release said report?

Answer: Please contact the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist for the release of the Safety Report and we will ensure to notify PHC.

6. Attach 6 requires a Foreign National Visit Request be sent to the Intel and Security Office 1-month before demo and that the KO will provide instructions. Where are we to send (address/email, etc) the Foreign National Visit Request to receive the proper clearance for Israel National visitors?
