Patriot Missile System…
How to Use Warranty
Fortunately for
Patriot unit budgets,
some missile system
components have
warranties that let you
get
free replacements.
Here are
the warranty
procedures for
the improved
north finding
system (INFS)…
…also known as
the bearing distance
heading indicator
(IBDH), and the
simplified survey
system (SsS).
uh-oh! your
simple survey
system
has
gone
kaput!
That’s going
to cost us
big
bucks!!
Lighten up,
SGT Gloomy!
-- it’s covered
by
warranty!
You were
right!
That warranty saved
us big bucks and it
didn’t take long to
get the new SSS.
We’re
back in
business,
baby!
