 Production at Bombardier of the additional 600 will fall into step immediately behind the original run of 1,900, putting the run dates at January to July 1986 inclusive. Production at Bombardier of the additional 600 will fall into step immediately behind the original run of 1,900, putting the run dates at January to July 1986 inclusive.
  
-An interesting note on the label ‘Additional 600” is that a lot of people out there assumed that “additional” meant “over and above entitlement’. Several queries have already been received at the Directorate of Land Requirements to the effect, “How do I get some of those additional new ILTIS you’re buying?” The answer as pointed out earlier, is that you don’t, unless you are one of those previously destined to end up with a Tonka Toy. So, for want of a better name, the Additional 600 will now join the Original 1,900 to became the new fleet of 2,500 ILTIS 1/2 ton trucks...which is what we asked for in the first place!+An interesting note on the label “Additional 600” is that a lot of people out there assumed that “additional” meant “over and above entitlement’.

-A RAN-D test of initial production vehicles is, in fact, a scientific experiment where a test sample of vehicles is selected at random from a production line and subjected to the environment in which the vehicle must survive after it is introduced to the field. During the test all the support training, manuals, special tools and test equipment available were employed to evaluate them before introduction. During the test the vehicles performed the mission for which they were designed, over the types of terrain they will experience. They were driven by non-trade drivers (male and female), regular force and militia from various units in Canada. The purpose of the test was to determine if the vehicles could meet the RAM-D specifications, which are part of the contract, and to detect any mechanical, human engineering, safety and maintainability deficiencies. Solutions to any deficiencies are immediately sought and incorporated into the test vehicles for further testing. If they are successful then these same modifications are applied to the production vehicles. The result of all this effort is a fielded vehicle with most of the defects ironed out. This should lead to greater user satisfaction and a substantially reduced requirement for costly retrofit modification programs. +A RAM-D test of initial production vehicles is, in fact, a scientific experiment where a test sample of vehicles is selected at random from a production line and subjected to the environment in which the vehicle must survive after it is introduced to the field.

 As stated in the ILTIS Main Contract, if the vehicle fails to meet the RAM-D test requirement, the manufacturer has to modify the vehicles and new vehicles have to be tested with a higher Test Performance Requirement. An ILTIS Reliability Re-Test was conducted in LETE Ottawa from 13 May until 28 May 1985. In order to facilitate the operation of the test, maximum use of drivers and vehicle technicians during RAM-D was necessary. As stated in the ILTIS Main Contract, if the vehicle fails to meet the RAM-D test requirement, the manufacturer has to modify the vehicles and new vehicles have to be tested with a higher Test Performance Requirement.

-It is to be noted that the self-recovery (Unstucker) is not included in the ILTIS Operators Manual, due to testing various systems for compatibility with the vehicle and the manual being in the final stages of production. As of this writing, the kit has been tested, approved and procedures for installation and operation of this kit have been produced by the PMO MOST staff as CFTO-C-30-108-000/CS-002. At a later date, this CFTO will be reworked, translated, and incorporated into the Operators Manual.+It is to be noted that the self-recovery (Unstucker) is not included in the ILTIS Operators Manual, due to testing various systems for compatibility with the vehicle and the manual being in the final stages of production.

 +==== Spare Parts ====
 +Logistic support is the key to the successful introduction of the ILTIS Canadian into the Canadian Forces. The objective of the Initial Provisioning process was to identify and procure a range of 2,510 line items of spare parts (both consumable and repairable), special tools, test and other support equipment adequate to ensure the maximum operational availability of the new ILTIS Canadian fleet during the first two years of its in-service life. 
  
 +The process of identifying, scaling and cataloguing spare parts is a lengthy and involved process. Subsequently entering this data in the CFSS takes approximately two years. Delivery of the initial provisioning (IP) spares to the supply depots is expected to take place from February to November 1986 with the bulk of the (IP) spares being delivered during the summer. These spare parts will be “pushed” directly to the unit’s accounts in accordance with the scaling done by 202 WKSP Dep. To assist the users in taking appropriate receipt action a Project Status Report (PSR) has been forwarded to each unit by DP Sup S 4. This report lists all spares to be received by each unit as well as the quantities.
 +
 +Early in the planning stage, we were well aware that the spare parts identified and ordered during the Initial Provisioning Process could not possibly be available in the supply depots before the actual delivery of the vehicle. Consequently, an “Immediate spares” Contract was negotiated to support the vehicle until all the spare parts are made available. A selection of 936 items are now being packaged by the contractor and shipped to the supply depots who in turn will “push” these spare parts to the unit's accounts.
 +
 +Although the immediate spares and IP spares purchases should support any potential maintenance problems, a spare parts order agreement has been reached with the contractor for the provision of emergency spares. Basically this agreement will allow units with immediate operational requirement (Ex: Training) to obtain spare parts support for the ILTIS vehicle directly from Bombardier as and when required until the immediate and IP spare support provision becomes available. Units are reminded as outlined in message MOST 85041 151657Z August 1985 that parts demanded through the emergency parts agreement must proceed as follows. Units are to raise a Q.D message in accordance with Annex B Chapter 7 of CFP 181. Q.D messages are to be addressed to DPSL 3-2 and must include NSN and contractors number. This agreement will terminate in January 1986 but will be renewed if necessary. 
 +
 +Because the parts manual for the ILTIS Canadian will not be completed until late 1986. An interim parts manual will be produced by PMO MOST Staff and distributed to all units by the end of 1985. All amendments to the interim parts manual will be published and distributed to units periodically.
 +
 +==== Packaging and Preservation ====
 +Spare engines and spare transmissions for the ILTIS are referred to as ‘“dressed-up engines and dressed-up transmissions.” An engine or a transmission from its metal container is completely dressed and ready to be installed in the vehicle. This will permit quick removal and replacement of engines and transmissions under adverse field conditions.
 +
 +Part break down of dress-up components are listed in parts manual [[bombardier:caf:cfto:c-30-108-000_mx-000_1988-07-05|C-30-108-000/MX-000]].

 +=== Metal Container ===
 +An agreement with the main Contractor has been reached forthe design, manufacture and testing of a suitable metal container to house the 1.7 litre engine and the transmission. These containers will provide the supply system with a capability of long-term indoor and outdoor storage. The design parameters were established to provide a strong rugged container fitted with air pressure and relief valve, reliable lifting hooks and capable of withstanding an all weather environment. The design also provided for a fourway fork lift and stacking facilities. Enough containers have been manufactured to accommodate all 300 spare engines and 200 transmissions held in supply depots.
 +
 +A cylindrical type metal container with modified rubberized mold is also being used to house the rear differential assembly.
