NAMRL has two research devices known as the Coriolis Acceleration Platform (CAP) and the Human Disorientation Device (HDD). The research capability provided by these two devices needs to be retained when NAMRL relocates to WPAFB. A feasibility study is necessary to determine whether moving the CAP and HDD to WPAFB or building new devices at the new location is the more economically sensible approach. To accomplish this three cost estimates are needed. One estimate will be for the disassembly, packaging, moving, and installation of each device. The second cost estimate will be for the design, fabrication, and installation of each new equivalent device intended to replace each of the two existing devices. The third estimate will be for the design, fabrication, and installation of a single new device that is capable of replacing the two existing devices. The ultimate goal is to determine the most cost effective and technologically feasible means of relocating/replacing the HDD and CAP. Estimate I: Relocation of CAP and HDD Complete the following tasks: Operate the devices to determine what systems are operational and what, if any, are not. Evaluate each sub-section of the devices to determine their remaining useful life. Interface with US Navy and Air Force researchers to review and evaluate the capabilities and requirements for the devices. Provide a cost estimate for the disassembly, packaging, moving, and installation of the CAP and HDD from NAMRL to WPAFB Items to be considered during the study that will be required for the actual relocation of CAP and HDD include: Items completed above as part of the cost estimate Evaluate the portion of the existing building that contains the devices and create a complete set of CAD drawings (structural and electrical) of that portion of the building reflecting the device requirements. These drawings will then be incorporated into the design of the new building at WPAFB that will allow for the installation of the devices at its new location. Disconnect all electrical connections and tag them with their appropriate voltage and current requirements. Create an exterior opening (approx 20?x20?) in the existing building to allow for the removal of the basic truss structure and any other large components of the CAP. This opening must be closed at the completion of this effort such that it maintains structural integrity and matches existing architecture. A large roll-up door exists for the removal of large components of the HDD from the existing building. Develop a finite element model of the CAP and HDD prior to disassembly to assess the structural integrity of the disassembly, transportation, and assembly process. Outline the steps for mechanical disassembly of devices as needed to allow for transport. Photograph all structural connections and annotate with the proper number of fasteners, fastener size, fastener grade, and location of all washers and nuts. Store all electrical portions of the devices in waterproof containers with dessicant for humidity control during transport and temporary storage. Provide transportation of all structures and crates that contain the devices to WPAFB. Provide packaging and shipment of several device-specific attachments to WPAFB. Return to an operating status any building-specific HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems that are required to be disconnected for the removal of the devices. Return all capabilities of the devices to operational status once the devices are installed at WPAFB. Replace any portions of the devices that were initially found to have exceeded their useful life with equivalent current technology. Model and prototype control and safety systems of the devices to ensure functional capabilities are not changed during the disassembly, transportation, and assembly process. Any control and safety systems of the devices that are replaced with computer control and safety systems must be documented and 3 digital copies of the source code that is utilized must be provided. Perform non-destructive inspection (NDI) of all structural members to inspect for any cracks or loss of structural integrity once devices have been relocated to the WPAFB location. All electrical connections and wiring must meet current code requirements when the devices are installed at WPAFB. An acceptance test will be required at the completion of the installation of the devices at WPAFB. Estimate II: Construction of new CAP II and HDD II Complete the following tasks: Analyze the existing CAP and HDD to develop a complete list of all original and existing capabilities. Provide a cost estimate for the construction of a new CAP II and HDD II at WPAFB. Items to be considered during the study that will be required for the actual construction of CAP II and HDD II include: Perform mechanical and electrical engineering design of new replacement devices and the necessary building infrastructure to support the devices. Provide 3 copies of complete mechanical and electrical drawings in both hard copy and digital format using the latest release of AutoCAD. Provide 3 copies of the operator's manual that must also contain the maintenance procedures in both hard copy and digital format using the latest release of Microsoft Word. Provide 3 digital copies of all computer software source code that is used for the operation and control of the devices. Provide the necessary fabrication and installation of all device systems at the WPAFB location. Perform verification testing of all systems at completion. Estimate III: Construction of Single Integrated Device Complete the following tasks: Analyze the existing CAP and HDD to develop a complete list of all original and existing capabilities. Conduct a feasibility study to determine the design, fabrication, and installation costs of a single new device that is capable of replacing the two existing devices.
