Such testing includes Mil-Std 810 and MDC A4241 test methods as well as other Mil-Std and commercial temperature, altitude, and humidity specifications. Testing results are used for Naval qualification, safety of flight, flight worthiness, and other evaluation programs. The Navy is primarily focused on seeking suitable commercial off the shelf and/or non-developmental items that could be easily modified to meet Navy requirements. Information on capable sources is sought for the following requirements: BASIC CONCEPT OF OPERATION: The Specifications for the chamber are defined in the Statement of Work (SOW) (11 pages total) which is attached in full text; including three Drawings for Chamber allowable floor space, laboratory access, and access port and electrical feed thru locations.
