STATEMENT OF WORK PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT FOR NISE 219BAR-19-020 PROJECT: REPLACING COPPER BACKPLANES WITH FIBER OPTIC BACKPLANES IN WEAPON REPLACEABLE ASSEMBLIES 1.0 Background This Statement of Work (... STATEMENT OF WORK PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT FOR NISE 219BAR-19-020 PROJECT: REPLACING COPPER BACKPLANES WITH FIBER OPTIC BACKPLANES IN WEAPON REPLACEABLE ASSEMBLIES 1.0 Background This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the equipment requested from ThorLabs and installation requirements for the NISE Project 219BAR-19-020: Replacing Copper Backplanes with Fiber Optic Backplanes in Weapon Replaceable Assemblies. 2.0 Scope This effort is to purchase photoreceivers and adapters from ThorLabs necessary to meet bandwidth objectives in support of the project’s initial design that will allow the Navy to prepare the weapon replaceable assembly (WRA) backplane for future advancements in computing that require greater data rates and reduced footprints. 3.0 Objectives This NISE Project’s three objectives are: To demonstrate how the use of high speed digital fiber optics and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) can replace traditional copper traces and reduce the required real-estate. To demonstrate the increased flexibility of integration at the card and backplane levels. The use of tunable lasers and multicore fiber may allow for signals to be identified, routed, or addressed based on the wavelength and spatial content of the light used to transmit the data. To build and test the board to backplane fiber optic connector designs Task & System Requirements Task Requirement Provide all associated miscellaneous parts, hardware and labor to design and install a photoreceivers and adapters to meet design specifications System Requirements Hardware: Hardware must be compatible with all hardware and software requirements for the this NISE Projects initial design to meet feasibility requirements Design Plan: Initial Schematic and Hardware Purchase List developed by NAVAIR Fiber Optic Team. Installation: ThorLabs will ship photoreceivers and adapters. 4.1 Information Assurance Requirements This NISE project intends to not require connection to any Navy networks. Any equipment requiring connection, either classified or unclassified, to the DoD global information grid (GIG) will be in compliance with NAVAIR Information Assurance requirements. 4.2.
