The system includes specific hardware components such as the FTA-DI-08 DSP Interface, FTA-SV-5V20 Power Supply, FTA-DV-EN2-50k Differential Amplifier, FTA-FCGR-PD Fatigue Crack Growth Rate module, FTA-NLFT-PD Non-Linear Fracture Toughness module, along with associated cables, connectors, software maintenance services, and training priced per day. Performance is expected to be completed within a 16-week period on an as-required basis, with delivery and acceptance occurring at the KSC facility.
