QUESTION ANSWER

1 For MSV, can the ballistic pack top marking be done in ink?

Yes. Follow instructions in the Drawings & PD including PD TABLE VI. END ITEM DEFECTS such as Markings & Labels. They should not be handwritten.

2 For MSV, can the ripstop strike face and top marking be done in ink? Yes. Follow instructions in the Drawings & PD including PD TABLE VI. END ITEM DEFECTS such as Markings & Labels. They should not be handwritten.

3 For MSV, can the strike face marking on the shoot pack be silk screened? Yes. Follow instructions in the Drawings & PD including PD TABLE VI. END ITEM DEFECTS such as Markings & Labels. They should not be handwritten.

For MSV, are there any other requirements for the label other than "indelible under normal environmental conditions"?

Yes. Follow instructions in the Drawings & PD including PD TABLE VI. END ITEM DEFECTS such as Markings & Labels. They should not be handwritten.

5 For Pathfinder S, does this need a "top" marking as well? No

For Pathfinder S, it states that "the ballistic cover shall be a lightweight, nylon ripstop that does not exceed 70 denier 1.9 oz" -this does not specify a finish like it does for the MSV in the AR/PD.

So, for the 70 denier ripstop, we need to know the finish.

The finish you use must be sufficient to meet all the requirements for test. In particular the operating Environment Requirements for Pathfinder-S detailed in Appendix B (Table B-II & Section B2)
