Description

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division intends to enter into negotiations for a Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract, on an Other Than Full and Open Competition basis, to General Electric Company (GEAE), one Neumann Way, Cincinnati, OH 45215 to expand the capability of the Survivable Engine Control Algorithm Development Program (SECAD) developed under contract # N68936-99-C-0117 and to integrate SECAD with the damage detection technologies being developed under the Integrated Engine Prognostics and Health Monitoring (IEPHM) Program. Expanded capability in the context of this contract means the development of damage detection and mitigation algorithms to operate throughout a realistic flight and engine-operating envelope. The methodology developed shall be general in nature, applicable to current and future engine programs. The algorithms shall be developed and demonstrated using a state-of-the-art turbine engine cycle and control system (F414-GE-400). Integration of SECAD with IEPHM technologies includes the evaluation of IEPHM damage detection capability, quantification of the benefits of using IEPHM sensors and damage detection logic in conjunction with SECAD, and the development of an integrated damage detection approach. These damage detection technologies will be evaluated in an engine test demonstrating the capability of the extended SECAD algorithms and integrated SECAD -- IEPHM system. General Electric Aircraft Engines is uniquely qualified to conduct this effort as this contract is a follow-on to a contract with GEAE where they successfully developed the survivable engine control algorithms. As a result of the previous contract, GEAE has the modeling tools readily available to develop the new damage detection algorithms and update the existing algorithms as necessary. Interested persons should identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals by October 4, 2001. Note 22 & 26 apply
