Software and hardware upgrades to include the following: 7.1.1 Contractor to develop upgraded software for the Degaussing System, Advanced Model on the USNS LEWIS AND CLARK (T-AKE 1) class of ships to improve the reliability of the vessels underwater electromagnetic signature during degraded operating conditions. 7.1.1.1 Degraded operating conditions to be defined as and limited to one (1) Bipolar Amplifier Unit (BPAU) offline or in failure mode for any reason on any axis for a total of up to three (3) BPAU's offline or in failure mode at any time. 7.1.1.2 During periods of degraded operating conditions, underwater electromagnetic signature levels of the vessel to meet or exceed OPNAVINST Rev."F" levels. 7.1.1.3 Concept of System Design System shall be designed to function in a degraded operating condition by automatically compensating for offline or failed BPAUs by controlling the remaining online BPAUs utilizing a unique set of degraded condition calibration constants to minimize the vessels underwater electromagnetic signature. Degraded condition calibration constants are to be developed for each BPAU failure scenario and stored in an array/lookup table in the Degaussing Control Unit (DCU). When operating in a degraded operating condition (DCU senses one (1) or more BPAUs have failed or is offline), a degraded operation alarm will be initiated, the DCU will retrieve a data set pertaining to the specific failure scenario and communicate the new calibration constants to the operational BPAUs keeping the system operating in an automatic Degraded Operation/Compensation Mode. 7.1.1.4 Contractor to develop degraded condition calibration constants and predicted underwater electromagnetic signatures for each BPAU failure scenario. 7.1.1.5 The "Degraded Operation Mode" or "Compensation Mode" alarm to be displayed on the DCU and shall "clearly" indicate when the system is operating in a degraded condition. 7.1.2 Contractor to design/develop an air filtering system for the Bipolar Amplifier Units (BPAUs) of the Degaussing System, Advanced Model on the USNS LEWIS AND CLARK (T-AKE 1) class of ships. 7.1.2.1 Contractor to size and select material for particulate filtering of the cooling air for the BPAUs. Criteria for filter media selection should provide for particulate air filtering commensurate with industry accepted standards for enclosures containing electronic components. 7.1.2.2 Criteria for filter media selection should insure filter media will not adversely affect BPAU enclosure cooling air flow requirements. 7.1.2.3 Contractor to design/develop a method of securing and sealing the particulate air filter media/material to the BPAU enclosure/cooling air fan assembly to prevent particulate infiltration to BPAU enclosure. 7.1.2.4 Method for securing filter media to BPAU enclosure/cooling air fan assembly shall be designed to allow for ease of inspecting and maintaining/changing of filter media. 7.1.3 Contractor to develop upgraded BPAU and DCU software to display internal BPAU temperatures and provide a "High Internal BPAU Temperature" alarm for the Degaussing System, Advanced Model on the USNS LEWIS AND CLARK (T-AKE 1) class of ships. 7.1.3.1 The internal BPAU temperatures are to be individually displayed on the DCU to provide real time feedback and to serve as an indicator of cooling fan operation and/or filter media cleanliness. 7.1.3.2 The "High Internal BPAU Temperature" alarm shall clearly indicate which individual BPAU is in an alarm state. 7.2 Manufacturer's Representative: None required. 8.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: None additional.
