- Description
- ELECTROSTATIC DIAGNOSTIC TEST SET Request for Information. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE. NAVAIR Lakehurst is seeking potential sources, industry comments and product information for the potential acquisition of a new Organizational Level portable Electrostatic Diagnostic Test Set (also referred to as a ?Precipitation Static Tester? or ?P-Stat Tester?). Electrostatic Testing in the NAVY is currently being performed on the EA-6B, E-6, and P-3 utilizing the Dayton Granger Unit (P/N 17650) and 2 other similar configurations. It is the NAVY?s goal to purchase one configuration of the P-Stat Tester, to provide a common piece of support equipment to each of the platform users. The anticipated purchase quantities will possibly range between 34 and 64 units with expected procurement occurring over the next 3 to 4 years. Additional quantities may be required, if other platform candidates are identified. The Air Systems Electromagnetic Interference Corrective Action Program (ASEMICAP) at NAVAIR Patuxent River have developed a set of Standard Evaluation Procedures and a set of Detailed Operating Procedures for Precipitation Static Diagnostic Equipment and each of those volumes are available via email for informational purposes in evaluating the ability to possibly meet the Navy?s requirements. To request a copy of the Standard Evaluation Procedures and the Detailed Operating Procedures, please email: wendy.bell@navy.mil The documents will be emailed in PDF format. The Standard Evaluation Procedure?s purpose is to familiarize the test personnel with aircraft testing, safety procedures, and security procedures required to successfully complete a full scale P-Stat evaluation. The Detailed Operating Procedures provide more information pertaining to the actual test hardware and each of their test procedures. The following technical specifications were derived from the ASEMICAP Detailed Operating Procedures and are outlined below. The test set must be capable of inducing a localized, high voltage static charge onto the outer skin of the aircraft to simulate actual atmospheric precipitation conditions that occur during aircraft flight. The test set must be capable of identifying the three types of electrical discharge generated by problem areas on the aircraft: Metal-to-Metal Arching/Sparking, Corona Discharge, and Streamering Effects. Common problem areas typically found on aircraft are: structural plates, antenna mounting, inspection panels, tail cones, fin caps, etc. The test set must consist of the following: High Voltage 40-50 kilovolt (kV) DC variable output power supply with an adjustable current overload protection circuit. It must be capable of depositing charge from 0-50 kV and 0-500 microamperes (mA). High Voltage Ion Discharge Wand for inducing high voltage static charge to outer skin of an aircraft. Sufficient Grounding Cable. Digital Low Resistance Ohmmeter (DLRO) for measuring DC bonding resistances from .001 milliohms (mW) to 59.99 ohms (W). Megger Digital Insulation Tester with auto ranging capability from .01 kilohms (kW) to 2000 mega ohms (MW). Multi Band hand-held receivers with charge units for monitoring P-static interference on a frequency range of 150 kilohertz (kHz) to 174 megahertz (MHz). Multimeter for measuring midrange resistance measurements, and both DC and alternating current (AC) voltage and current measurements. The test set must be rugged for operating in an Organizational Level Environment at shore-based facilities during testing and troubleshooting of the aircraft. The government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to this request for information nor will the government compensate the respondent for any cost incurred in developing the information for the government. The Government will not release any information marked with a Proprietary legend, received in response to this RFI, to any firm, agency, or individual outside the Government without written permission in accordance to the legend. It is requested that information be submitted within 30 days after publication of this notice. Any request for copies of solicitations will not be addressed since this is a request for information, not a request for proposal. It is requested that information be submitted to: Wendy Bell, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Highway 547 Bldg 562-3C, Lakehurst, NJ 08733-5000, or by electronic mail to: wendy.bell@navy.mil
