Since the length of the SSL attachment box (93.2" and the length of the Type III SSL

(106.1") when combined (199.3") is longer than the minimum length of the deck

(136.1"), does this mean that the combined payload of the SSL + SSL attachment box is not hauled on the trailer? The combined payload of the SSL + SSL attachment box is not hauled on the trailer. 3/16/2016 5/20/2016

Since the weight of the SSL attachment box (3900 lbs.) and the weight of the Type III SSL

(8918 lbs.) when combined (12m818 lbs.) is heavier than the minimum payload of the trailer (10,000 lbs.), does this mean that the combined payload of the SSL + SSL attachment box is not hauled on the trailer?

In section 3.4.5 of the draft ATPD, why would the trailer degrade the GVW of the prime mover? Degradation refers to any reduction in performance of the prime mover. 3/16/2016 5/20/2016

In section 3.4.8 of the draft ATPD, since the trailer will degrade the VCI, and NRMM II predicts the VCI of the FMTV at 30, and the HEMTT at 35 the objective will be impossible to meet for all prime movers due to limitations of the prime mover, and the threshold of 36 will be particularly challenging if the deck height is at 50" and precludes the use of larger tires.

Is this a realistic target with given limitations of the prime movers?

The ATPD will be released with the draft RFP which will contain a revised ATPD para 3.4.8 to include percentage degradation (Vehicle Cone Index) for the prime mover. 3/16/2016 5/20/2016

75 Ref 3.5.2 of the draft ATPD: How many chargeable failures are allowed?

1-2 Operational Mission Failure (OMF) based on Mean Miles Between System Abort (MMBSA) &

18,000 miles of testing. This will depend on the length of testing and confidence level. 3/16/2016 5/20/2016

76 Does trailer need to meet FMVSS?

The LEUT Type I and Type II need to meet the FMVSS requirements specified in ATPD 2415 and ATPD

2414. 3/16/2016 5/20/2016

The government requirements state the Threshold (Required) & the Objective

(Desired). What value is the objective worth over the threshold? Does the government have a preferred requirement for evaluation? Can we submit two bids?

The value of objective over threshold, the requirement for evaluation and the number of allowable bids will be specified in the formal Request For Proposal (RFP). 4/1/2016 8/31/2016

On the attributes page 1 of the Industry Day Slides, Attribute 1 states the following:

"Type I and II LEUT will have mechanically operated auto retractable dual front landing gear with drop legs, and two removable rear pivot mount stabilizer legs." The question is, the word auto implies that the landing gear are to be automatic. However, if something is mechanically operated then it would not be automatic it seems to us that the wording contradicts itself. We suggest removing the word auto unless the government would like automatically operated landing gear which would mean electric, hydraulic or air. Reference question and answer #19. 4/1/2016 8/31/2016

On the attributes page 2 of the Industry Day Slides, attribute 6 states the following:

"Type 1 and II LEUT will have a common military parking, hand operated/adjustable mechanical parking brake". The question is, what is meant by the word adjustable in the above sentence. Please clarify.

The term "adjustable" refers to the ability to increase or decrease the parking brake effect to take into account wear and tear of the parking brake components. When the parking brake starts to wear an adjustment could be made to compensate for having to engage the hand operated brake further in order to achieve the same level of stopping ability. 4/1/2016 8/31/2016

102 What will the selection criteria be? The selection criteria will be specified in the formal RFP. 4/1/2016 8/31/2016

Some American company vendors are considering having some components for this contract built offshore to lower pricing.

* What percentage of US components versus offshore components are allowed for this contract award?

* In the previous question, is the percentage evaluated in “weight of the components” or “number of components”?
