CAM Upgrade
Needs
Your
Help
An upgrade is on the way for your chemical agent
monitors (CAM), NBC NCOs. A refillable drift tube
module and sieve pump assembly will be added to
each CAM, which will increase peformance and
reliability and simplify maintenance. The upgrade
will require some performance on your part.
Before the CAMs can be shipped to the contractor
for the upgrade, you must turn them in to your
installation MWO coordinator with all their com-
ponents of end item (COEI) and basic issue items
(BII), except the battery. You also need to keep a
record of the CAMs' serial numbers. Your local
MWO coordinator can help. For more info about
the CAM upgrade, contact SBCCOM's Alonzo
White at DSN 584-6565/(410) 436-6565 or e-mail:
