Manufacturer, NORTHRUP GRUMAN 04804 is the only approved source of supply for this CSI item. This part of the Advanced Recovery Control (ARC) systems onboard U S Navy Aircraft Carriers. "To promote competition NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage manufacturers with the expertise to manufacture the subject item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval by the appropriate engineering source approval authority per the (WSS) guidelines.
