Meggitt Safety Systems, Inc. is the only supplier for this part. These smoke detectors are presently installed craft wide and are required by the LCAC 100 specification document. The digital logic circuitry onboard the craft is designed around this specific make/model; deviations would require further system modification and testing. Presently, the Government is performing efforts to assign this specific part an NSN so it can be easily procured throughout the craft lifecycle; however, until an NSN is assigned and inventory established, sole sourcing is the only acquisition avenue available. Meggitt Safety Systems, Inc. is the only known source capable of providing the required items
