Public award description

THE OVERALL SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE OF THE CWECS WILL BE REVIEWED AND REDESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE CHANGES REQUIRED TO MEET CTSD-ADV-1377 SPECIFICATIONS. A MAJORITY OF THE SCOPE OF WORK INDIRECTLY FALLS UNDER THIS TASK, BUT ITEMS 1, 2, 3, 4, AND 10 WILL SPECIFICALLY BE ADDRESSED. THE DESIGN CHOICES EXECUTED IN THIS TASK OF THE PHASE IL-X WILL ALLOW ALL THE REMAINING TASKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DVTU TO BE SUCCESSFUL, UP TO AND INCLUDING THE INTEROPERABILITY TESTING AND DEMONSTRATION (TASK 5). A LARGE PART OF THIS TASK WILL BE TO COMPLETE SYSTEM DESIGN CHANGES TO COVER SCOPE OF WORK ITEMS 3 AND 4. SWITCHING FROM THE SMARTFUSION2 TO THE RTG4 WILL REQUIRE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SUPPORTING ARCHITECTURE. SIMILARLY, ENSURING THAT THE DVTU MEETS THE IO DEFINED IN CTSD-ADV-1377 WILL REQUIRE DESIGN CONSIDERATION AND CHANGES. ANOTHER ITEM THAT WILL NEED WORK PERFORMED UNDER THIS TASK IS SCOPE OF WORK ITEM 1. THIS CHANGE TO ONLY TWO PCB DESIGNS IS DUE TO THE REMOVAL OF THE INFORMATICS PORTION OF CWECS. THIS SEPARATION OF THE INFORMATICS PORTION OF THE DESIGN WAS DETERMINED BY NASA, AND IT ALLOWS THE DVTUS TO BE AN OVERALL SMALLER FORM FACTOR.
