"The AAU-19/A altimeter procurement from Aerosonic is a case history in 'How not to procure.' The contractor's competence and capability were questioned even before award of the contract. The instruments failed to satisfy prototype and First Article tests, yet the contractor was permitted to begin production and delivery of the altimeters which had passed testing at the contractor's plant, [but failed the tests when received by the Air Force]"--Page 1.
