As a result, the following additional requirements are added to the MCT Program: (1) Item (f) is added to PHASE II FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT (OPTION), as follows: (f) Explore and analyze potential main motor design issues and constraints, including the impact of parameters such as propellant formulation, propellant slope, motor case design, motor operating pressures, etc. in order to optimize the performance of the overall system. (2) The following requirements are added to REVIEWS: Phase I requires an informal status review 6 months after contract start and a final program review at the completion of the effort. Each review will summarize all technical, programmatic and cost issues pertinent to this project. Phase II reviews shall be timed to coincide with major test activities to allow government review of pretest designs and test execution. (3) The requirement for a pitch plane valve is added to TECHNICAL GOALS, item (b) as follows: (b) not less than 800-1000 pounds thrust from an individually open pitch plane valve. (4) TECHNICAL GOALS, item (h) is changed to read: (h) maximum operating time of not less than 4 seconds continuous operation. Baseline phase I designs shall be configured to bleed chamber pressure gas from the blast tube area of a standard rocket motor. The final placement of the RJC system is pending overall system trades.
