- Description
- FSC 1005, NAICS 332994 The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, Louisville Detachment intends to procure an ORDALT to stabilize, add an Electro-Optical Fire Control System (EOFCS), and remote control the MK38 Machine Gun System.. The following are the minimum system requirements for the MK 38 ORDALT: Mount: Two-axis stabilized, deck mounted, with minimal deck penetration to accommodate connecting power cables and the requisite control/communication cables. Power: Externally supplied shipboard 60 Hz AC power. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) capability for back-up power is highly desirable. Cannon: Standard Navy 25mm M242, standard Navy Gun Control Unit, and fire 180 rounds per minute. Ammunition: Gun system shall make use of available; Weapon System Explosive Safety Board (WSESRB) approved ammunition. Firing Salvo Size: Minimum of Single Shot and Automat ic. Ammunition Capacity: Minimum 165 ready service rounds utilizing dual feed capability of the M242 cannon. Ammunition Loading: Loading must be accomplished in a safe and ergonomic manner. Train/Elevation: Shall have both soft and hard limit stops and meet WSESRB safety standards for safe firing and pointing limits. The mount shall provide maximum depression and elevation angles that are feasible within its design for engagement of surface, subsurface and air threats, in priority order. The mount shall support a train warning alarm to warn shipboard personnel in vicinity of the mount prior to any initial mount movement during remote operation. Space and Weight: Ability to be mounted in the current MK38 machine gun footprint and locations while minimizing cost and complexity of any associated SHIPALTs and weight/moment impact to ships. Operational Availability (Ao): An A o of 85% is considered a minimum operational standard. EOFCS: The sensors of the EOFCS will be located on-mount and will be capable of day/night tracking. The EOFCS will include an eye-safe laser range finder (ELRF), ballistic calculation/correction and optics necessary to detect a High Speed Maneuvering Surface Target (HSMST) to engage at 2000 yards. The EOFCS should be integrated with an auto-track feature for engaging moving targets. The ELRF should be capable of operation at a pulse repetition rate sufficient to support effective engagements in the range band of 2000 to 100 yards without overheating or shutting down. If conditions are such that the ELRF is unable to provide accurate range information, the EOFCS shall support engagement using auto-track azimuth/elevation data with range data entered manually or from an external source. If conditions are such that the a uto-track feature is ineffective, the EOFCS shall be capable of easily (without taking hands off the controls) switching to an engagement using manual tracking of target azimuth/elevation and target range entered manually or from an external source. It is desired that the EOFCS accept a manually entered aimpoint offset for warning shot capability. An interface to enable display of EOFCS video at remote stations within the Ship is desirable. Control/Tracking: Continuous Day/Night Auto-Track, fully stabilized remote operation, with a degraded local (on mount) back-up capability. Integrated EOFCS required. It is desired that the system be able to effectively engage targets using firm target tracks provided by a combat system. The system shall be capable of being safed from either the local or remote control station. Both local and remote controls shall have a safety kill s witch. Shock/Vibration: Should meet standard shipboard shock, vibration and environmental requirements. Training: Must support CD based curriculums at a minimum. Embedded training scenarios for operator training are highly desirable. It is desired that embedded trainer be compatible with planned Total Ship Training Architecture as a future spiral development. Effectiveness: At a minimum, achieve a hit on an HSMST using a three-round burst at a range of 500 yards with a probability of 0.70. The system should be capable of spiral improvements to allow integration of combined radar/EO/IR sensors already being tested for shipboard application. The requirement also includes necessary engineering/logistics services to support integration of the ORDALT on U.S. Navy ships. This acquisition will be conducted using full and open competition under commercial item acquisition pro cedures, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 13 as authorized by the Homeland Security Act, Public Law 107-296, Sections 852 and 855. The intent is to issue a five (5) year firm fixed price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity type contract for an estimated eighty-three (83) ORDALTs. The minimum quantity of ORDALTs to be procured is two (2) and the maximum quantity is three hundred and fifty (350). The following Government Furnished Material (GFM) will be provided for factory acceptance testing purposes only: M242 Cannon, P/N 6086360 and Navy Gun Control Unit (GCU), P/N 6086003. It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded by March 3, 2004 with the first order requiring delivery of two (2) ORDALTs by September 2004 and an additional six (6) ORDALTs by December 2005. Delivery will be required to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, Louisv ille Detachment, Louisville, Kentucky. The anticipated issue date for this solicitation is November 17, 2003. The solicitation will be available for downloading AFTER November 17, 2003 from http://www.phdnswc.navy.mil. A hard copy of the solicitation will be available for REVIEW ONLY at the Louisville Detachment after this date. Questions regarding this procurement may be faxed to Jacque Gee (502) 364-5483 or emailed to jacqueline.gee@navy.mil.
