| Description: The USCG requires various specialized skills to support the airworthiness and sustainment of Government aircraft and equipment. The Contractor shall develop and provide solutions to mitigate and prevent processes that negatively affect the aircraft life cycle. The Contractor shall perform, implement, and support engineering and scientific activities such as, but not limited to, root cause failure analysis, sample preparation for analysis, testing, training, data analysis, vibration analysis, re-engineering, engineering analysis for aircraft structure, components, systems, and configuration management. The Contractor shall provide trained and qualified personnel to perform the required engineering and scientist services and all support to meet requirements.
Required Services
These required services include, but are not limited to:
• RCM Support
• Wiring Integrity
• Various Engineering Specialties
RCM Support: Establishes methods of monitoring and controlling inherent reliability of assets and equipment. The program identifies and ties together all the maintenance and operational tasks required to accomplish the planned objectives.
Wiring Integrity: Supports Wiring Configuration, Wiring Database Configuration. Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS) stewardship contributes to the overall life cycle and efficiency of aircraft electrical and electronic systems. Additionally, establish and maintain a systematic approach to managing EWIS data with the transition into Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM) and Intelligent Wiring. Lastly, the technical aspects of EWIS include, but are not limited to, criticality and risk assessment, Configuration Management (CM), aircraft assessments, reviewing of applicable wiring publications and Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO)s, identification of wiring numbers, harness fabrication, and testing information.
Various Engineering Specialties: Consisting of Airworthiness Engineer, and Vibration Engineer. The Airworthiness Engineer services provide airworthiness engineering to assure aircrew safety and air vehicle safety. Airworthiness as the USCG defines it is the ability of an aircraft, when viewed holistically as an integrated system of systems, to safely attain, sustain & terminate flight without exposing any personnel, other aircraft or other parties to significant or increased risk to life or property. The Airworthiness Engineer works to ensure an acceptable level of safety for aeronautical products by engineering those aspects of aviation activities that include design, manufacturing, maintenance, health monitoring, testing, inspections, evaluation, data analysis and material support.
The Vibration Engineer services provide engineering support to ensure a comprehensive approach to vibration testing, vibration analysis, condition-based maintenance, structural monitoring and health usage monitoring. Condition-based maintenance is the application and integration of appropriate processes, technologies, and knowledge-based capabilities to achieve target availability, reliability, safety, operation costs and support costs of systems and components across their life cycle. |
