The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Nuclear Systems Integration Division (AFNWC/NDS) requires PCM330E Programmable Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) Encoders in the B61-12 Tail Kit Assembly’s (TKAs) Telemetry Instrumentation Kit (TIK) configuration. The manufacturer is L3Harris Technologies, Telemetry & RF Products. The manufacturer part number is LCP-755-005396-023. The PCM330E is a compact, modular, programmable PCM encoder and data-acquisition unit designed for airborne telemetry applications. It must occupy the existing TKA TIK volume and interface without modification. This configuration provides the analog, serial, guidance-system, and encryption interfaces already designed into the B61-12 TKA TIK. LCP-755-005396023 is the only encoder that is form, fit, and function qualified for the current B61-12 TKA TIK architecture and is the exact model used in existing TIKs. This is a one-time buy of a highly specialized, configuration-controlled telemetry encoder. The item is subject to COMSEC controls and must be procured in the exact B61-12 qualified configuration.
