The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to procure Lithium Thermal Batteries as a component of a telemetry system for the Sidewinder Missile project in approximately summer 2007. Product must be qualified before contract award. A minimum of 100 units will be ordered and a maximum of 750 units may be ordered over the five-year period of performance. The thermal batteries must meet the required form, fit, and function requirements of specification AS-1989A with applicable SCN/NORs and Drawing 639AS9458 Revision A, for a pre-existing missile telemetry fabrication package. This includes the following. Output Voltage and Duration: The battery shall supply 24 to 34 Vdc when loaded by 14.9 to 15.2 ohms for at least 60 seconds over the operating temperature range of minus 40 to plus 71 degrees C. Exceptions to the following paragraphs of Specification AS-1989A, as specified on drawing 639AS9458A. Output Voltage Rise Time: Output voltage shall rise to 25 Vdc within 270 milliseconds (ms) after application of 2.0 amps when loaded by 14.9 to 15.2 ohms at any temperature from -40 to +71?C. No Fire: The battery shall not activate when a current up to 0.5 amps is applied for 30 seconds through the activation terminals. Activation Terminal Resistance: The resistance between the battery activation terminals shall be 0.6 plus/minus .2 ohms. Activation signal: The battery shall activate when 2.0 amperes direct current for 30 ms minimum duration is applied between terminals "S" and "SR" at any temperature from -40 to +71?C. Batteries are 2 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches high maximum, and shall meet all requirements after a minimum storage shelf life of 5 years, and must be qualified for missile application. To qualify a product under drawing 639AS9458A, the contractor shall submit five (5) pre-production qualification units at their own expense that meet all the requirements of spec ification AS-1989A, with applicable SCN/NORS and drawing 639AS9458A, including test data for evaluation and testing by the procuring activity.
