All optional components or features necessary to meet the requirements of this document shall be furnished. The LLS shall conform to all Federal Laws and regulations governing safety which are in effect on the date of contract award.

Section 3 of this PD contains the capability description and technical parameters for the LLS and associated components. It covers both the performance characteristic and the associated specification for which the LLS shall comply. Section 4 of this PD is a one to one relationship of requirements to verify Section 3 Performance Requirements. Compliance with the Performance Requirements shall be verified through one or more of the methods described in Section 4. Failure of any of the systems, subsystems, components or transport cases in form, fit or function before or during test of all of the verification requirements stated in all sections and subsections of this PD will be considered failure of test and failure to comply with the system requirements.
