Summary
Cabinet design and production: Cabinets are set stacks of servers, switches, and other components that are developed to provide the hardware and power infrastructure for the software to be run and the system to be controlled. The cabinets are constrained by the individual platforms space, weight, power, and cooling (SWAP-C) allocations for each submarine platform class. Cabinets shall be either air-cooled or water-cooled depending on the final application. Cabinets shall contain power conditioning, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters, Central Processing Units (CPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) based servers, Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAIDS), Array power supplies, Network Switches, array interface and timing hardware, and heat exchangers as some of the installed types of equipment. The contractor shall design an array interface and timing edge hardware that is not satisfied by a common SWFTS component design. A-RCI has a goal to shrink, push, and standardize array interface edge devices with common parts to prioritize availability of CPU and GPU processing to a Common Compute Environment (CCE). This functional area will require coordination with other developers and the Prime Integrator to understand resource requirements to be implemented. Coordination within the larger SWFTS community is also required for the development and usage of common processing components to be used among other Submarine systems. The contractor shall perform engineering design development for production hardware, first article testing, environmental testing, and factory acceptance testing of cabinets to be delivered to a certification support lab for full shipset system cabinet sell off.
