CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)

Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in future items.

Corrosion specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. It is commonly caused by exposure to moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion damage in metals can be seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or cracking.

Plastics, composites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen), solvation (solvents), or photolytic (light, typically UV) processes. The most common exposures are excessive heat or light. Damage from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling, and/or breaking.

SF Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report, should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8, The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual.

DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE

The Translation Device should be destroyed by any method so it cannot be used by unfriendly personnel.

DESCRIPTION AND DATA

EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES

The Translation Device is a ruggedized, self-contained, hand-held device that matches English phrases to pre-recorded phrases in a target language. Phrases can be accessed using the color touch screen, hardware buttons, the user’s voice or any combination of these. Phrases are grouped into modules for specific use cases. For example, there is a force protection phrase module developed for the military that contains phrase categories such as check point, disturbance and medical emergency.

The phrase modules reside on a removable 1 gigabyte secure digital (SD) card provided with the device. The software restricts each module size to 1000 phrases, but the SD card can hold many modules.

The Translation Device uses a directional microphone to block out background noise. The voice recognition software on the device uses universal voice recognition technology and therefore it can be used by anyone speaking English regardless of accent and without any specialized training.

Its dual battery slot has a rechargeable lithium batteries that provides 6 hours of continuous operation. The battery slot will also hold four AA batteries which will provide no more than 8 hours of use.
