Existing MK41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) application-specific Test Program Sets (TPSs) developed to interface with the original Teradyne L293 system need to be converted to the upgraded S9100. NSWCDD requires contract assistance to re-host specific CCA TPS from the L293 to S9100 system. OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENTS: CCAs for the MK41 VLS Baseline VII module have been categorized into low, medium, and high complexity based on an engineering assessment of the hardware design. The Contractor shall re-host three L293 CCA TPSs (one from each complexity category) to the S9100 with an option for up to four additional if the first three are converted successfully. General test content and reporting requirements are described in Table 1.1 of the attached Statement of Work.
