STATEMENT OF WORK
FOR
LARGE DISPLACEMENT SHOCK SIMULATOR TESTING OF
AS-4473B/SPS-73 ANTENNA AND AB-1399A/SPS-73 PEDESTAL

1.0 SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines requirements for the Large Displacement Shock Simulator (LDSS) Test of the AN/SPS-73 Radar System AS-4473B/SPS-73 Antenna and AB-1399A/SPS-73 Pedestal. The test results will be used to qualify the equipment to MIL-S-901D Grade "A" shock for installation on United States Navy (USN) Ship CVN-78. The LDSS testing does not involve explosive testing.

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Philadelphia and NSWC Carderock reviewed previous testing completed on the AN/SPS-73 Radar equipment to determine if previous testing was sufficient to qualify equipment to a new class of USN ship. Utilizing the previous tests results and the associated data collected, the typical LDSS test sequence has been shorten to only include one shock blow on the antenna and pedestal. Test blow will be in the athwart ship direction at 9.2 ft/sec at 35 Hz.
