Purpose & Scope

This J&A supports the procurement of spare parts, including Adapter, 25 MM; Carrying Case; and Telescope, Elbow, which must be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with components used on critical weapon systems such as Fighting Vehicle Systems (Bradley), DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer, and LCS Mission Modules. The scope may expand to include other items for these systems via bilateral modification.
