A -- NAVAL AIR VEHICLE PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY (BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT) SOL BAA NO. 01-99 DUE 090199 POC Danielle Buser 301-342-1825 x151 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracts POC for this BAA, buserda@navair.navy.mil. This is amendment #2 to Broad Agency Announcement # 01-99 dated 01 September 1998 for the augmentation of mission performance operational capabilities, and improve the affordability of Naval Air Vehicles. This amendment refers back to the Guide to Naval Aircraft Propulsion and Power Technology Development Programs for Fiscal Year 1999 and is found in part 903, Health Monitoring and Diagnostics Technology, at: http://www.navair.navy.mil/air20/air214/index.cfm. REMINDER: Proposals for this BAA must be received no later than 01 September 1999. The technologies may include eddy current technologies that can reduce life cycle cost, improve safety of flight and increase readiness of fleet gas turbine engines. This activity is in support of the U.S. Navy Engine Component Improvement Program Eddy Current Sensor (ECS) development effort. Primary areas of interest are: systems utilizing eddy current technologies to perform real time in-flight measurements of rotor and blade characteristics, and both static anddynamic measurement of critical engine hardware during ground based maintenance operations. Types of failure modes to be detected but not limited to are cracking, erosion, vibration, rubbing, FOD etc. Responses must be limited to systems capable of being prototype tested for field application within 24 months of program initiation.
