Book excerpt: Warranties are required by law to be obtained on all weapon systems purchased by the Department of Defense. As a result, the three services within the DoD must face a variety of issues associated with weapon system warranties. This thesis examines the issues associated with the acquisition, enforcement, and subsequent evaluation of warranties. It then examines how each of the three services treat these issues in their supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation and in their primary warranty regulation. Prior to examining the foregoing issues, the thesis begins by first reviewing the background of warranties and discussing some theoretical considerations. The issues themselves are then presented followed by their treatment by the DoD. After the examination of the issues and their treatment by the DoD, recommendations are made for suggested improvements to the services' regulations. This thesis is useful in that it identifies several areas that should be addressed by the military departments in their warranty guidance. It also advances recommendations for improvements to the regulations. Theses. (FR).
