Subject:                           Fee Exemption Statement Request


Based on a current contract for the Army Abrams Main Battle Tank SEPv3 program (Contract #: W56HZV‐12‐C‐0322), the
following verbiage was included in the contract to highlight all prototype vehicle test site costs would be assumed by the
Government (no cost to the Contractor). This approach has historically been performed on all previous Abrams and
Stryker combat vehicle programs with General Dynamics Land Systems selected as the defense contractor and system
integrator. The IM‐SHORAD program will be undergo radar testing at designated test sites (RTC, WSMR, APG) beginning
in September 2019 and the Army has also requested whether any radar testing can be performed at the General
Dynamics Land Systems facility in Sterling Heights, MI. Therefore, General Dynamics Land Systems is requesting this
application fee be exempted for this Urgent Material Release (UMR) program based on previous exemptions provided to
Government test sites due to Government‐to‐Government transactions and it would be very appreciated by the
customer (PM‐Cruise Missile Defense Systems). Thank you in advance.

Seven prototype tanks shall be allocated for Government testing and two additional prototype tanks shall be allocated
for contractor use. The Contractor shall conduct a vehicle system prove‐out for the seven prototypes prior to start of
