A Case Study of the MK 16 MOD O Underwater Breathing Apparatus Program

Abstract

The MK 16 MOD O Underwater Breathing Apparatus (UBA) provides life support to EOD divers operating in close proximity to sensitive under water ordinance. This thesis evaluates the acquisition and logistic strategy used in fielding this acquisition category III system. In addition, current material and logistic support problems were examined and analyzed. The final chapter provides conclusion and recommendations based on the lessons learned in fielding this system.
