NSWC Port Hueneme is seeking information on a consolidated Super ATE solution for MK 41 VLS production testing.
- **Agency:** Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD), under NAVSEA and the Department of the Navy.
- **Requirement:** An integrated, modular, scalable Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platform for production acceptance testing of MK 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) Launch Sequencer (LSEQ) and Motor Control Panel (MCP) assemblies, including line-replaceable units (LRUs).
- **Capabilities:** Complete-box testing, LRU-level testing, acceptance testing, and support for shock and vibration test requirements.
- **Objectives:** Consolidate existing or planned ATE functions where practicable; reduce equipment and test-space footprint and setup time; improve repeatability; and simplify calibration, maintenance, configuration management, and lifecycle support.
- **Eligibility:** Responding organizations must be members of MATAC.
- **Known details:** No OEM, vendor, model, quantity, part number, or contract value is identified.

### Description

<p>NSWC PHD requires a Super ATE solution that consolidates, to the maximum extent practicable, the functions of multiple existing or planned ATE systems into a common, modular, and scalable platform. The objective is to reduce the number of ATE assets required for LSEQ and MCP production; decrease laboratory and production-test footprint; improve test repeatability; reduce setup time; and simplify calibration, maintenance, configuration management, and lifecycle support.<br />
<br />
NSWC PHD requires Automated Test Equipment (ATE) to support production acceptance testing of MK 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) Launch Sequencer (LSEQ) and Motor Control Panel (MCP) assemblies, including line-replaceable units (LRUs) within those assemblies. Currently, conducting lifecycle maintenance and testing requires utilizing multiple disparate pieces of test equipment, which creates a large footprint and increases operational complexity. The Government requires an innovative, integrated production-test capability that can consolidate multiple ATE functions into a common Super ATE architecture. The required capability must support complete-box testing, LRU-level testing, acceptance testing, and support for shock and vibration test requirements.</p>

<p>Organizations interested in responding to this RFS must be members of MATAC. Visit MATAC.org for more information.</p>
