LRUs, including the baseline test procedures and output specifications to support repair, and the
Authority does not hold sufficient rights in the designs to support competition. Furthermore, design and
output integrity is required to be maintained in accordance with the OEM specifications due to the
interoperability between the coolant LRUs and relevant vehicle powerpacks. Any deviation away from the
original design may result in an increased the risk of power pack failure, affecting the overall
performance and operation of the vehicle platforms
