The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Program Executive Office Submarines (PEO SUB) seeks to obtain a list of sources interested in fulfilling the requirements for a Multifunction Modular Mast (MMM). The MMM is a non-rotating Omni-directional communications-acquisition and DF antenna with a removable payload module. The MMM development strategy is to heavily leverage the existing design deployed on the Block IV VA class submarine with minimal design changes. The MMM will be installed on either the VIRGINIA or SEAWOLF class submarine and shall meet the requirements of a Performance Specification (PMS435-S-039, with Change 1 of 11 April 2017) with a focus on EW performance, reliability and survivability (Grade A shock). The MMM will include the following components: Above Deck Sensor Unit (ADSU) o Tactical Module o Payload Module o Protective Cap Outboard Cables o Tactical; Outboard Cable o Augment Outboard Cable Electrical Hull Penetrator (EHP) o Tactical EHP o Augment EHP Junction Box Unit (JBU) o Tactical JBU o Augment JBU The Government requests that interested sources provide a White Paper that addresses their proposed plan and concepts to delineate a viable approach to meeting the requirements of the performance specification with special emphasis on the following: 1) Performance and Survivability a. Provide an overall technical description of the functions and capabilities of the equipment you are capable of delivering. b. Provide details of on how Meantime between failure (MTBF) performance specifications requirements will be met. c. Provide analysis or data addressing the underwater shock survivability of the outboard equipment they are capable of delivering. d. Provide analysis or data addressing the underwater environmental survivability of the outboard equipment they are capable of delivering e. Provide details on how overall dimensions, weight, and power performance specifications would be met. f. Provide details on the sensor cables routing and handling strategies you would employ. g. Provide details on how payload module interface performance specifications requirements would be met. h. Provide details on how the RF and DF functionality (of the technical module) performance specifications requirement would be met. 2) Maintenance Philosophy a. Describe the maintenance and repair process proposed to support the equipment on US Navy submarines (i.e., operational and intermediate level maintenance). b. Describe your approach to providing field maintenance related engineering services contracted using a task order approach. c. Describe your approach to providing fleet-support field-maintenance repair on-site assistance to submarine platforms for MMM system troubleshooting and repair. d. Describe the depot maintenance philosophy and capability for the system. 3) Data Rights a. Government desires Government Purpose Rights data rights.
