Solving the panel puzzle.TACOM TACOM Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (US Army) TACOM Tactical Communications TACOM Tactical Command TACOM Tank-Automotive and Armament Command TACOM Theater Army Command TACOM Tactical Army Command TACOM Tactical Army COM reports that the number of requisitions for the old configuration of the M1A1 tank's driver's alert panel (DAP), NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never 2510-01-073-0020, is pretty high, especially from Southwest Asia. "So what?" you might ask. Well, the old DAP was designed for use on tanks that have not been equipped with the driver's hatch interlock (DHI DHI see dairy herd improvement. ). And since all active Army tanks should have had the DHI installed with MWO MWO Mount Washington Observatory (New Hampshire) MWO Microwave Oven MWO Master Warrant Officer MWO Modification Work Order MWO Multi Wave Oscillator MWO Meteorological Watch Office (aviation) 9-2350-264-50-11, demand for the old DAP should actually be going down. Figs 114 and 115 of TM 9-2350-264-24P-1 (Mar 03) list both DAPs, but don't make a clear distinction between the two configurations. That, combined with the number of orders for the old DAP, makes it likely that some units are ordering the wrong panel. For active Army tanks that have the DHI installed, order DAP, NSN 2501-01-459-1662. National Guard and war reserve tanks that have not been modified with the DHI should continue to use the old configuration DAP. |
