an/vas-5a dve operators and maintainers, the word is:
if you have a failure of the dve sensor or
display control module, it needs to be turned
into the standard army supply system.
units need to provide a
dd form 1348 milstrip
requisition for a
replacement.
the confusion lies
with the draft copies
of the operator’s
manual and parts tm.
these copies gave
a warranty turn-in
process that was
difficult to achieve
given the current
oconus mission.
so, disregard the warranty
procedures in the draft tm’s,
tm 11-5855-311-12&p-1, -2 and
tm 8h66
7
-13&p/1, /2.
and look for final copies
of the current manuals
available as etms soon.
also available is a
dve
quick reference guide
for troubleshooting.
copies of the reference guide and
tms can be obtained by contacting
your local sensor lar, or by
emailing the item manager, erik
shaffer, for electronic copies:

one more note,
do not red
tag the dcm if
the screen is
cracked.
dla views red

in this case,
that’s
not
what we
want.
damaged dcms have a number
of internal parts the depot can
salvage for future repairs.
please turn in all nmc dcms
regardless of condition, and
ensure packing material is
adequate to protect the screens
from damage during shipment.
