11.  Topic:  Diesel Engines and MIL-PRF-83133 JP8 Fuel In Transition (Informational topic)

Synopsis:  Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 4140.25 states that Jet Propulsion 8 (JP-8) will be the military’s primary fuel. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Standard Agreement (NATO STANAG 4362) declares that JP-8 will also be the single battlefield fuel for NATO forces. Fischer-Tropsch is now included in the specification for JP-8.

The EPA is requiring Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel or S-15 containing less than .0015% or 15 parts per million (ppm) of Sulfur be utilized for all vehicles and is not compatible with the JP-8 specifications.

Managing a single fuel instead of multiple fuels greatly reduces the complexity of planning for operations. Using a single battlefield fuel is safer than using multiple fuels. JP-8 is the fuel of choice for the DoD and will be a fuel requirement in new procurements for military vehicles and generators. What can industry provide to meet this requirement?

742 CBSG – AUTOMATIC TEST

14.  Topic:  Performance Based Logistics (PBL) for Benchtop-Reconfigurable Automatic Tester (BRAT)

Synopsis:  The BRAT® is a collection of Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) instruments and components installed in a multi-bay chassis.  It supports weapons systems such as the E-3 (the most active program), C-5, E-4, E-6, E-8, F-15, & KC-135 platforms, supporting approximately 393 Test Program Sets (TPS). The Air Force has 93 testers in the inventory, but currently only has 78 testers that are in use for production and as GFE. The contractor will be provided GFE spare parts, GFE testers, and GFE testers for cannibalization. The Air Force intends to award a competitive level three Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract to sustain the SRU’s used by the BRAT Testers. Contractor will be required to tackle numerous SRU obsolescence issues in the testers that are operated by proprietary software.  In this effort, the contractor will be given wide latitude to sustain the capabilities required to maintain the testing capabilities of the BRAT testers Test Program Set (TPS) utilized on the BRAT testers.  The BRAT® Program Office is working on a possible competitive PBL.  Our BCA consists of three alternatives (traditional sustainment, level 3 PBL, and a level 3 PBL with a TPS re-host/tester drawdown).  Goal is to award the contract in May 2010.

15.  Topic:  FY12 Consolidated Automated Support System/Versatile Depot Automatic Test Station (CASS/VDATS) Hybrid Interface

Synopsis:  The Air Force has a need to develop a hybrid CASS/VDATS interface for VDATS.  We envision the effort to start with a compatibility study between the CASS test station capabilities and the VDATS capabilities.  This will include the station software, the TPS development software, calibration, station self-test, and the Unit Under Test (UUT) interface capabilities.  The study will also provide details on how to adapt the existing VDATS capabilities to CASS Test Program Sets (TPS) that fit within the compatible test capabilities.  We are especially interested in the F-22 and F-35 TPS capabilities that will be jointly shared between the Air Force and the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).  The Navy will be using CASS or a CASS compatible tester, such as LM-STAR or eCASS, for their F-35 TPSs.  One long term goal is to add to VDATS as much of the CASS capabilities missing from VDATS as is practical.  The ultimate goal is a DoD Common Family of Testers supporting many services instead of Families of Testers for each service.  Developing hardware and software to adapt CASS TPS capability to VDATS is a potential Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) project.
