Section 5 this page emphasizes durability for the first of three instances. Modular design supports durability, through providing parts replacement/interchange. This document was generated by the U.S. Army aprox. 90 days after '420 was offered via West Point, at such time as Davis alone represented "state-of-the-art" (patent) classification. This document was obtained as per the Freedom of Information Act, at the suggestion of counsel. Likely the "LR" is the first written expression of the Army's intention to procure a new bayonet---this document basically started the process.
"Letter Requirement" must not be confused with original production contract.
Original M-9 contract specified extensive scientific testing, as would verify compliance with minimum requirements, and otherwise define exact operation. Numerous requests for such lawfully required test results were made, as per FOIA---THE U.S. ARMY FAILED REPEATEDLY TO PROVIDE ANY TEST RESULTS WHATSOEVER, AND IGNORED THOSE RESULTS INDEPENDENTLY SUBMITTED BY DAVIS.
