 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.

-Following both RAM-D and RAN-D retest, a series of modifications have been implemented on the assembly line for the 800 vehicles that are not already built. The majority of the vehicles are still sitting in the yard at Bombardier’s plant in Valcourt, Quebec where another line is now operating to retrofit these vehicles with the following modifications:+Following both RAM-D and RAM-D re-test, a series of modifications have been implemented on the assembly line for the 800 vehicles that are not already built.

-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 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. 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.
