- Description
- The SSC transmission systems (separate port and starboard systems) will likely include gearboxes, clutches, AC generators, and shafting and couplings. The transmission systems will be used to reduce the prime mover speed (input) to transmit power to air propulsors, bow thrusters and lift fans (one propulsion system and one lift system on each side of the craft), and may consist of parallel axis, bevel, planetary gear configurations, etc. Potential power systems include prime movers in the approximate range of 4,000-5,500 SHP @ 12,000-16,000 RPM or 10,000-14,000 SHP @ 7,000-8,000 RPM. Maximum output speeds are likely to range from 1,200 to 2,200 RPM. NSWCCD is interested in information on existing reduction gearbox designs (for ACVs, yachts, helicopters, etc.) that could be incorporated into the range of potential power systems described above. ACVs require lightweight, compact and reliable reduction gearboxes. Each gearbox must incorporate a debris monitoring system to detect and relay wear metal information to the operator. All SSC gearbox designs must be certified in accordance with ANSI/AGMA standards for high speed marine gears with an expected MTBO goal between 3,000 and 12,000 hours. Responses Responses to this survey should include supporting materials that demonstrates your companys experience, competence, and overall understanding of the requirements that NSWCCD has identified. The following information is requested (please indicate whether the provided information is estimated or actual): 1) a description of the reduction gearboxes including configurations (parallel axis, bevel, planetary, etc), 2) the development timeline (if necessary) that can support the need date (2011), 3) the non-recurring engineering costs and unit production cost estimates identified for the reduction gearbox options, and identify sensitivity of production cost to volume of sales (quantity discounts), 4) minimum annual reduction gearbox purchases to sustain production, 5) gearbox heat rejection, 6) horsepower losses, 7) gearbox dimensions, 8) gearbox weight, 9) technical constraints that are driving the ability to provide a gearbox or adding technical or schedule risk, 10) estimated scope of maintenance while the gearbox is in service on the craft, 11) plan for repair and overhaul of gearbox components as necessary during craft lifecycle. NSWCCD requests your responses no later than 21 May 2008. Information should be e-mailed to Mr. James Lambert at james.lambert@navy.mil or mailed to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Attn: James Lambert, 1000 Kitty Hawk Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19112 and labeled with the solicitation number and title. Questions can be submitted electronically to james.lambert@navy.mil. Information provided will be treated as Business Sensitive and will not be shared outside of Government activities and agencies without the permission of the provider. All information shall be provided free of charge to the Government. NSWCCD may request further information regarding the capabilities of respondents to meet the requirements and may request a presentation and/or a site visit as deemed necessary. At no additional cost to the Government, the Government may request minor clarifications of a companys submission.
