This amendment 005 is raised to incorporate the following items into solicitation W8475-215475/A:
Notice to Bidders
Photos of aircraft components that were taken by DND during the site visit are being made available as part of this solicitation process. A CD containing the images will be sent out upon request. Those who wish to receive a copy are to contact the Contracting Authority (Andrew Hemy) in writing with their request. As these images are considered controlled goods all parties requesting the photos are required to be registered in the Controlled Good Program prior to receiving the photos.
Questions and answers Question 1:
There are several mandatory requirements related to the dimensions, weight and balance of the replacement radar to fit in the current nose cone of the DASH-8 without modification. For example:
4.1.2 The RADAR system components MUST be located within the CT142 nose cone and the NTS rack, with the exception of the control / display units and power and networking cables.
4.1.3 The components of the RADAR system MUST fit without modifications to the exterior profile of the Radome.
4.1.4 The installation of the RADAR system components located within the CT142 nose cone MUST include compensation for differences in aircraft weight and balance from the current RADAR system.
4.1.5 The total weight of all components of the RADAR system, mounts, harnesses, and modifications to the CT142 MUST not exceed the centre of gravity limits for the CT142 IAW ref F.
Please provide the outline drawings with dimensions for the nose cone profile, including any mounting restrictions, to allow us to assess the suitability of our radar for this requirement. Additionally, please provide Reference F noted in section 4.1.5 ie. C-12- 142-000/MB-001 Aircraft Flight Manual.
Answer 1:
Copies of the nose cone drawing and an excerpt from the Weight and Balance Manual are available upon request and will be provided on a CD via mail to those who request a copy. Those who wish to receive a copy are to contact the Contracting Authority (Andrew Hemy) in writing with their request.
The flight manual is considered controlled goods and access to it requires registration in the Controlled Goods Program. A copy of the flight manual will be provided on a CD upon request, once registration in the Controlled Goods Program is confirmed. Those who wish to receive a copy of the flight manual are to contact the Contracting Authority (Andrew Hemy) in writing with their request.

Question 2:
Is it desired to have the 4 students and 2 Nav instructors view a TAWS Terrain map?
Answer 2:
Yes, it is desirable (although not mandatory) to enable the NTS stations to view a TAWS terrain map.
Question 3:
Do TCAS targets currently display on the 6 trainer position screens?
Answer 3:
No, TCAS targets do not display on the NTS station screens.
Question 4:
Applicable Documents
Will bidders be given access to the DND manuals listed in Section 3.2 on page 33?
Answer 4:
Yes, copies of the manuals listed are available upon request and will be provided on a CD via mail to those who request a copy. Those who wish to receive a copy are to contact the
Contracting Authority (Andrew Hemy) in writing with their request. Please note that the C-12-142- 000/TE-001 CT142 Dash 8 Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals are controlled goods and bidders must be registered with the Controlled Goods Program prior to receiving them. A-GA- 001-001/AG-001 DND Flight Safety Programme is no longer available and will be removed from this solicitation.
Question 5:
TAA Recognition
Can the bidders be provided with an outline of what is required to achieve TAA Recognition?
Answer 5:
See paragraph 4.1.5.a. of the SOR (page 35). Where a contractor is accredited by a civilian airworthiness authority for the full scope and depth of the work to be performed under the contract, all that is usually required to achieve TAA recognition is to complete the Recognition Survey (Appendix A-4 to Annex A) and provide documentation demonstrating that their civilian accreditation satisfies the requirements of the DND Technical Airworthiness Manual.
If the contractor’s civilian accreditation does not encompass the full scope and depth of the contracted work, the contractor must amend or create the necessary policies and procedures, usually in the form of a DND Airworthiness Supplement.

CNS-ATM General
If the requested systems already have civilian STC approval will the DND TA require any additional certification testing or will the standard post installation testing required by the existing STCs be sufficient?
Answer 6:
In the case where the civilian STC is applicable to the DHC-8-102 and where no prior DND modifications of the CT142 render the STC non-applicable, and where the STC is issued by a recognized airworthiness authority, DND will not require additional certification testing.
If prior DND modifications affect the applicability of a DHC-8-102 STC, but where the STC has been amended and re-issued as a limited STC for the CT142 specifically, DND will not require additional certification testing.
Question 7:
If the current military configuration of the aircraft results in the need for design changes to the existing STC data is there an expectation of civilian certification for unique military requirements or with DND TA approval be sufficient?
Answer 7:
In the case of design changes to an existing STC, the contractor may opt to complete civilian certification for the amended design or provide support to the DND airworthiness approval of the new design.
The level of support required in the latter case is difficult to predict in the hypothetical but could include providing supporting documentation to the DTAES 3 certification team, developing or providing engineering data, and acting as a liaison between DND and the OEM of the equipment, though this list is not comprehensive.
Question 8:
What, if any, intellectual property rights does DND expect for existing civilian STCs that are used?
Answer 8:
DND expects the right to use and conduct 1st and 2nd line maintenance on the equipment provided, as well as the right to locally produce any non-procurable components (e.g. CT142- specific brackets). The contractor must provide DND with the right to hold and reference all drawings related to the equipment installation. DND also expects the right to hold any amended TMT or TMT Server source code and the right to use and modify that source code locally.
Page 4 of - de 14
Question 9:
Is the initial training for operations & maintenance expected to be a combined training class or two separate classes?
Answer 9:
Maintenance and Operator training is expected to be two separate classes.
Question 10:
Is the contractor free to provide the content of the training material in their own format, or are there specific DND expectations?
Answer 10:
Yes, the contractor may provide the training material content in their own format.
Question 11:
Is it possible to separate the CNS-ATM requirements from the radar requirements so that the CNS-ATM part of the contract can be finished while the radar system is being designed?
Answer 11:
As per paragraph 4.3.5 of the SOR (page 37), installation of the two systems may be separated for the first aircraft with the concurrence of the TA. For the remaining aircraft DND requires the CNS-ATM and radar to be competed/installed at the same time.
Question 12:
ADS-B Out
Is there currently an interlock system between the civilian transponders and the IFF system? If so is a description of that interlock function available?
Answer 12:
Yes, there is an interlock system. A push action switch and annunciator assembly (XPDF- ATC/IFF) is installed on a panel situated in the left aft portion of the cockpit center console. This switch-light serves to provide an operational selection between the IFF transponder or the dual Mode-S (ATC) transponders. Simultaneous operation of IFF and TCAS/Mode-S systems is not operationally feasible.
When “ATC” operation is selected for use, the bottom left portion of the switch-light is illuminated with a white “ATC” status. When lit, the IFF system is forced into a standby condition.
When “IFF” operation is selected for use, the bottom left portion of the switch-light is similarly illuminated with a white “IFF” status. When lit, both of the Mode-S transponders and the TCAS system are forced into a standby condition.
This interlock behaviour must be maintained.
Page 5 of - de 14
Is there a desire to disable the extended squitter output without completely disabling the transponders?
Answer 13:
No, this is not required.
Question 14:
TCAS II Change 7.1
Will an earlier version of TSO C119( ) be acceptable? There are many TCAS systems in-service and in-production that were built to earlier versions and there are not that many choices for units built to the latest C119e version of the TSO.
Answer 14:
TSO C119c and later are all acceptable. If TSO C119c is used, hybrid surveillance is a desired (although not mandatory) functionality.
Question 15:
TAWS A
Is the current FMS configured to conduct Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) approaches? If so will this have to be integrated into the TAWS A system (a civilian
requirement)?
Answer 15:
Yes, the current FMS is configured to conduct LPV approaches. The TAWS system must comply with all civilian requirements.
Question 16:
Radar
Does DND expect the new radar system (excluding NTS interface) to be civilian certified by STC or will DND TA approval be sufficient?
Answer 16:
Either civilian certification via STC or DND TAA approval for the radar will be sufficient, with the certification route at the bidder’s discretion. For the DND TAA certification path, the contractor must provide support to the DND certification team. This support may include providing
supporting documentation to the DTAES 3 certification team, developing or providing engineering data, and acting as a liaison between DND and the OEM of the equipment, though this list is not comprehensive.
Page 6 of - de 14
Question 17:
What level of detail is required to meet the “classify surface contacts” when the radar is operating in Maritime Surveillance mode?
Answer 17:
The radar must be able to classify contacts as ‘Small’ (e.g. fishing and pleasure craft), ‘Medium’
(frigate-sized warships), and ‘Large’ (e.g. merchant shipping vessels, cruiser-sized warships).
Question 18:
Can more information be provided on the requirement to “provide high resolution imaging of roads, bodies of water, habited areas and power lines.”? For example, does the radar have to detect the transmission wires between powerline towers, or just the powerline towers
themselves?
Answer 18:
The radar image quality must meet or exceed the capability of the current radar. In the example, the radar does not need to detect transmission wires – imaging the power lines by the towers themselves will suffice.
Question 19:
What is the “hook on contact” function at the NTS stations?
Answer 19:
The NTS station operator must be able to designate radar tracks or geographical positions that the radar will track
Question 20:
IRU
What systems currently use IRU data?
Answer 20:
The Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) uses analog attitude and heading data to drive the Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI) and the Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI).
The FMS Computer takes in pitch, roll, and heading data through the ARINC 429 bus for the Computer Display Unit (CDU). The search radar similarly takes in data through the ARINC 429 bus to stabilize the transmitter/receiver.
Page 7 of - de 14
Is the IRU used to support True navigation at northern latitudes?
Answer 21:
Yes, and this is a capability must be retained.
Question 22:
What is the model and part numbers of the IRS?
Answer 22:
The IRS consists of the following parts:
Description Part Number
Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) HG1095AC02 Mode Selector Unit (MSU) CG1042AB03
IRS Switch Panel 83445006-001
Computer Display Unit (CDU) 3017-41-211
Question 23:
RADAR
Are the radar capabilities listed in the RFP the same as what the current radar can do? For example: See powerlines?
Answer 23:
Yes, DND is seeking only to replace the radar hardware, not to upgrade the capability. With reference to the power lines example in the RFP: the current radar can discern the power line towers but not the transmission wires. This meets the requirement for land navigation as the presence of the power line is discernable from the towers. That same level of detail is acceptable in the new radar.
Question 24:
What level of detail is required to meet the ship classification requirement?
Answer 24:
The radar must be able to classify contacts as ‘Small’ (e.g. fishing and pleasure craft), ‘Medium’
(frigate-sized warships), and ‘Large’ (e.g. merchant shipping vessels, cruiser-sized warships).
