This document, "Att 3 - LAD-LPHUD Repair Definitions.pdf", defines the criteria for classifying repairs as 'Minor' or 'Major' for various components related to the LAD (Line-of-sight Display) and LPHUD (Low-Power Head-Up Display) systems. It also outlines procedures for No Fault Found (NFF) / Could Not Duplicate (CND) / Test, Teardown, & Evaluate (TT&E) and Beyond Economical Repair (BER) / Beyond Physical Repair (BPR).

• No Fault Found (NFF) / TT&E: Defines NFF and TT&E processes, including incoming visual inspection, Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP), and environmental/ESS procedures for unverified failures.
• LAD Minor Repair: Classified by superficial component replacement (bezels, solar guard, touch guards), cleaning of fiber optics, and adherence to specific technical manual guidelines. Requires ATP after repair. No ESS testing is required.
• LAD Major Repair: Involves opening the rear cover or display head assembly, disconnection of internal wiring harnesses, replacement/repair of Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRAs), replacement of fiber optics/connectors, extensive troubleshooting (Vibration and Thermal Testing), ESS, and ATP after repair. Any combination of minor and major repairs is classified as major.
• LPHUD Minor Repair: Limited to simple repairs without disassembly of the Projector Unit (PU), fixing bent pins on accessible subassemblies, or repairs to specific components like HUD-CP, AOA, HVC. Requires ATP after repair. No ESS testing required.
• LPHUD Major Repair: Includes replacement/repair of electronic unit assemblies/CCAs, significant repairs to optical elements/lenses, repairs to Digital Image Source (DIS), extensive troubleshooting, ESS, and ATP after repair. Any combination of minor and major repairs is classified as major.
• Camera, Television Repair: Classified as Major if effort involves repairs, extensive troubleshooting, ESS, and ATP after repair.
• Control Panel, AirCR Repair: Classified as Major if effort involves repair, extensive troubleshooting, ESS, and ATP after repair.
• Beyond Economical Repair (BER) / Beyond Physical Repair (BPR): Outlines the process for notifying the Buyer if an item is recommended for BER or determined to be BPR, requiring disposition instructions.

This document is crucial for bidders to understand the scope and complexity of potential repair tasks. It directly impacts how repair efforts will be classified, potentially affecting pricing, labor estimates, and the overall technical approach proposed for any maintenance or repair-related opportunities involving these systems. Understanding these definitions is essential for accurate proposal development and execution.
