Reliability Improvement Warranty (RIW) Support for the LightWeight Doppler Navigation System (LDNS) Program

Abstract

The Lightweight Doppler Navigation System (LDNS) Program is under the management of the U.S. Army Navigation/Control (NAVCON) Systems Project Office at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. In December 1976, Singer Company-Kearfott Division was awarded the initial production contract that included the Reliability Improvement Warranty (RIW) terms and provisions. Prior to this contract effort, ARINC Research Corporation assisted the NAVCON Project Office during the Engineering Development (ED) phase of the LDNS Program and participated in the development of RIW terms and conditions of the Initial Production (IP) solicitation. Under the current contract effort, ARINC Research provided engineering assistance in defining the Defense Contract Administration Services Office (DCASO) and the manufacturer's warranty responsibilities, in reviewing the contractor warranty data collection plan, and in developing LDNS field implementation plans. This report presents the results of these activities.
