The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line is responsible for the validation of all aircraft instrumentation on the MH-60T helicopter. Due to the obsolescence of a former test set, the MRR Product Line has an emerging requirement to test and validate engine indications and fuel quantity indications. This notification seeks to identify all available commercial sources that can meet the scope of requirements that follow. The Aircraft Engine and Fuel Test Set must be able to interface with the aircraft wiring harness through the installed connectors and provide an appropriate signal to simulate engine and fuel indication parameters. These parameters should be simulated via an analog discrete communication standard which will be interpreted through the aircraft architecture and displayed on the Common Avionic Architecture System (CAAS) Engine Instrument Caution Advisory System (EICAS). These indications shall include but are not limited to: Gas Generator Speed (Ng) Turbine Gas Temperature (TGT) Power Turbine Speed (Np) Rotor Speed (Nr) Engine Torque All installed chip detectors for engines and gearboxes Engine and main gearbox oil temperature and pressure Oil filter bypass indications Fuel quantity indications The test set needs to provide the interconnecting and power control which allows maintenance personnel to simulate specific inputs required for calibration and testing of the systems associated with the indication above. The test set power specifications in the bench environment requires the availability of 28 vdc and 115 vac, single-phase, 400 Hz power. Any company submitting a test set must also have the capability in place to provide calibration and repair of the test set.
