Night Vision Goggle Manufacturing Support

Abstract

Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD), located in Chambersburg PA, received an order to manufacture 12,000 night vision goggle (NVG) plates. These plates are used to mount the NVG to the Soldier's helmet. However, the quantities needed had increased over four fold from 12,000 to 52,000 (7,000 NVG plates per month) near the time of production. Based on these quantities, delivery dates, and current workload, LEAD requested the assistance of the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) to help optimize the NVG plate manufacturing process.
