RFI Integrated Communications Terminal (ICT)

This specification was developed to articulate and document the requirements for equipment and incidental materials and services to support the Integrated Communications Terminal (ICT) for the IC Voice System onboard Navy Fleet ships. It is being sent to industry in order to identify potential manufacturing sources. The ICT currently used on Navy ships (CVNs, LHA/LHDs and LCCs) meets all required shipboard red/black communications systems. The IC Voice System includes the Integrated Voice Communication Network (IVCN), AN/STC-4(V) systems, and Integrated Communication Advance Networks (ICAN). The ICT supports the tactical and command and control communications systems on and off the ship. It provides interior black communications and red communications (tactical). The ICT interfaces between IC voice systems and the tactical communications systems. Shipboard environmental conditions testing requirements include the following: Altitude - MIL-STD-810E, Method 500.3, Procedure 1, 15,000 feet, non-operating Humidity - MIL-STD-810E, Method 507.3, Procedure 1 Cycle 1, 10 Cycles Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) - MIL-STD-461D/MIL-STD-462: CE102, CS101, CS114, CS116, RE101, RE102, RS101 and RS103 Enclosure testing MIL-STD-108 (Drip-proof 45 degrees) Low temperature MIL-STD-810E, Method 502.3 (Operating, Procedure II, 0C), (Storage, Procedure I, -40C) High temperature MIL-STD-810E, Method 501.3 (Operating, Procedure II, +50 C), (Storage, Procedure I, +70C) Vibration MIL-STD-167-1, Type I, 4Hzto 50Hz, mounted in a vibration-isolated console or fixture Shock MIL-S-901D, Grade A, Class 1, Type A lightweight deck-mounted equipment when mounted in a shock-isolated console or fixture.
