STATEMENT OF WORK

ACTION

In September of 2019 D. Gillette Industrial Services was asked to manufacture, assemble, and deliver a Recoil Exerciser (REx) — a special tool for the M777A2 Lightweight Towed Howitzer. The REx will provide the ability for users to meet the maintenance requirement for exercising the recoil every six months, and it can be used to verify functionality after major maintenance activities. It has a recoil length of ~55 inches. The REx will provide a 24V DC powered means of operation to limit manual input and reduce pullback cycle times.

DGI manufactured and machined several very particular items to mount a winch needed to perform the task our customer was looking for. We procured the items, tested each item, packaged, and delivered against a very aggressive delivery schedule.

RESULT

DGI procured 95 Recoil Exercisers which passed DCMA Inspection and delivered all units on time with zero defects. Project is a 5 year IDIQ and DGI hopes to receive another Delivery Order before the end of the contract.
