- Description
- Question and Answers to RFI: Question 1: Unable to decipher the sentences on "three key components for corrosion and biological control" and on "key technologies.that are necessary for the implementation of IUHS". The RFI said, "level1fol; tab-stops...etc" which was not intelligible in my copy. Response: The correct text for the sections of the RFI noted are: The underwater hulls of U. S. Navy ships have three key components for corrosion and biological fouling control: (1) Cathodic Protection (CP) to protect exposed metallic materials (2) An anti-corrosion coating (AC) system to reduce exposed bare metallic surface area (3) An anti-fouling (AF) coating system to minimize the effects of biological growth that increases drag and correspondingly fuel consumption. Some key technologies of interest that are anticipated to be necessary for the implementation of IUHS are: (1) Dynamic system control that provides control of anodes and other system components (2) Materials for permanent anodes (3) Electrical disinfection system (4) Electrolytic antifouling systems (5) Diagnostic/prognostic tools for the integrated system and for individual components (6) Multipurpose anodes design (7) Anode grouping concepts and design including ability to provide coverage and address electrical connectivity issues (8) Control for concurrent vs. selective operation (single model or multiple mode operation of the integrated system) All three prevention modes running Selective prevention modes running according to conditions This list is not meant to be exhaustive in nature. NRL is interested in white papers that addresses both the entire IUHS or components of the IUHS. Collaboration and teaming between groups is encouraged to achieve the technical goals and manufacturing capability. The IUHS Industry Day is scheduled to provide all interested with further information on the program. Specifically: An Industry Day will be held on Tuesday May 3, 2011 to provide additional information and discussion on this topic. Details and registration information may be found at https://secure.onr.navy.mil/events/regdetail.asp?cid=732. Attendance is voluntary and not required to respond to this RFI. Registration is required to attend the Industry Day. Time will be allowed during the industry day for potential offerors to interface with other interested commercial and academic parties. Time will be allowed during the industry day for one-on-one discussions with Navy technical representatives.
