- Description
- The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Electric Intermittent Fault Detection (EIFD) Integrated Product Team (IPT) is hosting an Industry Event seeking to leverage existing commercial technology to establish service-wide standards for troubleshooting and repair of Intermittent Failures occurring in aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnect Systems (EWIS). Industry will be meeting with IPT members and afforded the opportunity to present and demonstrate new concepts and emerging technologies for portable EIFD testers.� Industry partners will meet in closed-door sessions to discuss their instruments capabilities and provide an on-and-off aircraft demonstration to maintenance personnel Specific requirements include: Hand-held technologies to diagnose EWIS wire and cable malfunctions and intermittent failures across aircraft platforms to inform repair decisions and streamline processes while minimizing aircraft downtime. The technology should focus on minimizing Mean-Time-To-Repair and maximizing to Mean-Time-Between-Failure. � Technologies that can detect electrical opens and shorts, degraded and intermittent signals, and insulation degradation within all aircraft and complex ground vehicle wiring classes/types including network busses. � Technologies to enable heightened EWIS troubleshooting and maintenance operations in various types of environments and support the need for modular, deployable, and sustainable systems with minimal material and/or logistics footprint. � Hand-held technologies designed to enable and maintain fault detection reliability of 95%, for all types of detectable faults including minimum fault durations. Capabilities must include the ability to detect the reduced cross-sectional areas of connectors with a fault isolation statistical accuracy of 90%, or higher. � Instruments categories shall span from Resistance (4 Wire Testing), Time-Domain-Reflectometry (TDR), Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR), Vector Network Analyzers (VNA), and when applicable be capable of compensating for the velocity of propagation of the media. VNA�s shall include cable and antennae testing and analysis capability. Data bus testers shall incorporate TDR functionality and Node emulation. � Technologies to enable swift stand-up of critical EWIS maintenance capabilities in austere locations, including both contested/threatened and peer/friendly environments to accelerate dispersed establishment, agile operations, and continuous throughput in various operating locations. EVENT INFORMATION: Dates: September 25 � 29, 2023 Time: Appointments Only Event Location:� This Industry Event will be held the at Eglin AFB, Fl and Hurlburt Field.� There will be no virtual option for attendance. Additional information will be forthcoming. � If your company would like to participate in this Industry Event, please email a (8 � X 11, 10pt minimum font) Cover Sheet, one page Summary of Capabilities, and company point of contact to the Air Force IFD team leads, Christopher Rhonemus at christopher.rhonemus.2@us.af.mil by 5pm ET on Tuesday September 6th 2023. Cover Page to Include: Who/Where are you? List your company name, project name, location (city/state) and team credentials (e.g., PI, project management, engineering, and business development). What is your solution/technology? No more than 2 sentence technical summary of the effort. Are you leveraging commercial? If so, what is the Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of the commercial product (see https://www.gao.g.ov/assets/710/703694.pdf) and what is the beginning and target at end of a potential military adaptation effort? List non-defense commercial customers and sales, if applicable. One Page Summary of Capabilities should include: Technical Abstract: Include a brief technical abstract of no more than 200 words describing the technology or proposed solution, including discussion of anticipated benefits and potential commercial applications. This should include a brief description of the program objective(s) and the effort. The EIFD will evaluate your submission based on current needs and applicability to the requirements. If your company is selected to attend the Industry Event you will be notified by Friday September 8th, 2023.
