TSC team assists the Navy in maintaining and upgrading as necessary the equipment deployed in the fleet.  
 
Under contract N00164-01-D-0039 TSC provides superior technical and engineering support to the AEGIS Project at NSWC Crane. TSC supplied the complementing expertise required for NSWC Crane to be recognized as DoD’s MWT expert. We have evolved our workforce while retaining our experts and have integrated our staff with Crane’s to provide continuity and to meet the Navy’s changing needs. We have provided comprehensive support to AEGIS MWT engineers.  
 
TSC has analyzed, produced, and upgraded specifications and control drawings for all AEGIS Weapons System (AWS) MWTs. We have developed numerous Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs)—including the ECPs that eliminated the arc performance ambiguities in the D/D CFA specification—and incorporated the SM2 Block IV capability into the MK 666 MOD 1 Automated Test Set. TSC has analyzed MWT repair capabilities and recommended improvements to minor repair facilities. For example, we developed a comprehensive plan for performing major repairs on AEGIS CFAs, CWIs and 10 kW TWTs.  
 
TSC engineers developed testing procedures and test station specifications that enable NSWC Crane to verify MWT performance standards. We also developed new MWT test techniques for SDR phase warm-up, expanded CWI testing for SEASPARROW, and developed other test techniques needed to establish improved noise and phase performance in the SDR TWT, the CWI TWT, and the LNCFA. Our engineers developed automated testing programs to support NSWC Crane’s LABNET system. TSC also developed a reconfigurable software core in LabVIEW to automate the life testing of microwave modules. With this software, Shared Vision T/R modules and C-band Microwave Power Modules (MPMs) have been successfully life tested for thousands of hours without operator intervention.  
 
TSC developed the Health Assessment Model for AEGIS MWT components. This process analyzes customer needs in terms of the available, or potentially available, sources of supply needed to satisfy these needs. If any of the Customer near- or long-term needs cannot be satisfied by its sources, a disconnect is said to exist and must be addressed. The Health Assessment Model provides step-by-step guidance to the Health Assessment IPT, which is responsible for identifying disconnects, developing solutions for them and helping the customer implement these solutions. Key personnel on these tasks were Robert English, Crane, and Len Surniak, Vienna, VA. Contracts supporting this area include N00164-01-D-0039, N00164-96-D-0002, GS-23F-0032L and N00024-96-C-5459.  
 
EG&G has completed installation design and support of eight CSA MK2 upgrades on Atlantic and Pacific Fleet submarines. These installs required major structural work, and to date all have been completed on time and within budget. They have provided engineering changes and installation support for the Integrated Point Detection System, (IPDS) and the WESCAM multi-sensor surveillance system for the Night Vision/Chemical/Biological Department. They have also installed and tested the IPDS used for early detection of chemical warfare agents aboard fifty plus U.S. Naval Ships, and performed quality assurance analyses and coordinated logistics field installation support. EG&G installed the MARFLIR aboard thirteen U.S. Navy Special Warfare, Coastal Patrol Craft (PC Boats), thirty two U.S. Coast Guard Cutters consisting of both Light (110s), Medium (270s) and Heavy (378s) duty ships.  
 
EG&G completed over 200 Fleet AIT installations on surface ships and submarines in the past five years with no quality deficiencies. Submarine AIT installations included over 50 garbage grinders, 10 CSA countermeasure set acoustic shipalts, 2 VLS weapon control cable change outs and five EP clutch and low speed gear shaft shipalts on SSN 688 Class submarines. Surface ship AIT installations included over 50 MARFLIR infrared camera installations on Coast Guard and Navy patrol craft, 25 IPDS improved chemical point detection systems on virtually all classes of surface ships and 5 AFATDS advanced field artillery tactical data systems on large flat deck amphibious ships.  
 
Under N66604-00-D-221B, EG&G is tasked to provide support to NUWCDIVNPT Code 21 for the engineering, operation, and maintenance of in-service systems and equipment. Our engineers and technicians have been involved with pre- and post-installation or removal of full and partial systems and associated special purpose test and support equipment; conduct system calibration and operational test and evaluation, troubleshooting and repair of all sonar systems and ancillaries installed on SSN 585, 594, 637, 688, and SSN-21 Attack Submarines, and SSBN 608, 629, 640, and 726 Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines; test and evaluation efforts associated with sonar and combat control system development, installation, operation, and modernization phases. Pertinent contracts: N66604-00-D-221B, N00178-99-D-3034, N00189-98-R-0107 and N00164-98-D-0020.
