RCS-PC Construction 

The RCS-PC is designed and constructed in accordance with the general  requirements of MIL-STD-454. 

Thermal Design  

The cooling of the components on the RCS-PC cards is accomplished by forced flow of air. The cooling of the RCS-PC Power Supply and the Pentium chip are accomplished both forced air and by conduction through the aluminum enclosure of the  unit which is built as  an heat-sink.

 

External Connectors  

External connectors are used for interfacing  with the subassemblies or equipment and are in accordance with requirement of MIL-STD-454. Connector mating bodies are keyed, and keyed locations are varied  to prevent improper installation. 

Identification and Marking

The marking and labels of the equipment meet the requirements of MIL-M-13231. 

Moisture and Fungus Resistance  

RCS-PC assemblies are moisture resistant and are not nutrients for fungi. The PC Cards are treated with Conformal coating for protection. The coating conforms to MIL-I-46058C.  

 

External Finishes  

The computer external surfaces are chemically treated  prior to painting. All residues and contaminants are removed prior to applying one coat of primer. The finish   is semi-gloss per FED-STD-595.  

 

Processes and Treatment  

Processes and treatments (welding, soldering, brazing      and corrosion (resistance protection) of the enclosure is in accordance with

MIL-STD-454.

RE02 - Electromagnetic emissions are not radiated from the  RCS-PC equipment in excess of values shown in MIL-STD-461C, Fig 4-14, 4-15.  

RS03 - The RCS does not exhibit any permanent degradation of performance or any deviation from its specifications when subjected to radiated electrical  of 1 Volts/meter from 14KHz to 10GHz.

CS02 - The RCS does not exhibit any permanent degradation of performance or any deviation from its specifications when subjected to 100 Volt from a 50 ohm source to its AC power leads    

 

Connectors

MIL-C-38999 - Standard connector offering environment-resistant to sand, dust, and ice.. Operating temperature range -65°C to 175°C.  Designed to operate between sea level to 100,000 ft. above sea level.  EMI shielding greater than 90dB @ 100 MHz and greater than 65dB @ 10 GHz. Corrosion-resistant shells of aluminum alloy with cadmium over nickel. 

Shell size is 17 with 55 #22 pins, an outside diameter of 1.101. All connectors have polarizing key for alignment.

 

Maintainability

 

Interchangeability

The components of the RCS-PC  are physically and functionally interchangeable in accordance with MIL-STD-454. Parts or  components of the same part number procured to this specification are physically and functionally interchangeable  without selection, adjustment or fit.

 

Maintainabilityand Modularization

The RCS-PC  is designed such that it is completely maintainable by replacement of assemblies. Maximum use is made of plug  in module assemblies.

 

Reliability

The RCS-PC -PC has an MTBF of  10,000 hours at 25°C. Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) does not exceed 30 minutes.  The MTTR includes the time required to detect and isolate the failure,  replace the failed unit, checkout the repair and return the system to full operational status.
