DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HIGH SPIN VELOCITY ACCELERATION/DEACCELERATION TESTING DEVICE Design and Fabrication of High Spin Velocity Acceleration/Deacceleration Testing Device expected to become operational at the ARL's Adelphi Laboratory Center. Due 123198. POC Ami Frydman (301-394-2804) frydman@arl.mil. Sources sought for fabrication and design or fabrication and design input of a seven inch internal diameter device which spins at 300 RPS, on the order of 5-8 feet long, capable of holding a mass on the order of 600 pounds which will vary on the order of 50 pounds while maintaining 300 RPS, and endure thrust forces on the order of 400,000 pounds. This device is a subsystem of a setback/spin simulation apparatus designed to effect gun launch conditions using the reverse ballistic method. This is for informational purposes only, at no cost to the government. Further details will become available to responders. Request all responses be sent to AMSRL-WM-PD, ATTN: AMI FRYDMAN, B 203 ADELPHI MD 20783-1197, not later than 1 July 1998.
