commercially available equipment appropriate for
most Department of Army/Air Force applications.
Special applications may require synchronized,
closed-transition transfer, or withdrawal features
to facilitate rapid maintenance or repair.
Manufacturers of standard ATS may be able to provide
ATS for special applications. The cost must be
compared with the cost of conventional synchronizing
features, as applicable. The decision should be
based on life-cycle costs.
