Vibratory Compactor P-Spec 30 June 2026 Initial PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR VIBRATORY COMPACTOR Prepared by: MHE/CE Team Product Manager Engineer Systems Portfolio Acquisition Executive Marine Corps SUBMITTED BY: Jarrett Penn Vibratory Compactor Engineer REVIEWED BY: Alvin West Lead Engineer APPROVED BY: Jeffery Chandler Product Manager, Engineer Systems DISTRIBUTION A. Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. -- 1 of 14 -- Performance Specification for Vibratory Compactor 1 1.0 SCOPE 1.1. Scope. This specification prescribes the performance requirements and identifies verification procedures for the Vibratory Compactor. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) has a requirement to replace the compactor. 1.2. Requirement Levels. This specification lists two values for certain performance parameters. The threshold (T) is the minimum acceptable level. The objective (O) is the desired level at which performance of the compactor results in an operationally significant increase in capabilities. When only one requirement is stated, it is the threshold requirement. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 2.1. General. The documents listed in this section are specified in sections 3 and 4 of this specification. This section does not include documents cited in other sections of this specification or recommended for additional information or as examples.
