and electronic system elements under radiation, orbital environment, and
other conditions. The general arrangement is to be based upon a single
control building housing control booths, cells, shops, and office area,
The fuel support for the two areas will be designed to contain properly
any fire and to suppress all toxic vapors and waste by. flushing and
filtration.

The central instrumentation and data facility will handle all informa-
tion from the testing areas. Multiple "quick look", control data recorders,
and tape recorders will be provided.

An isolated site’ to handle systems tests which employ such propellants
as fluorine will be required at a latter date, if the advanced pro-
pulsion units using fluorine are injected into the Program. This facility
is delineated as an isolated Hazardous Test Facility,

liquids and solids.

@le. Background History

‘The requirements that have originated specifically for ARS ground
support can be traced in Part to the effort of IMSD in establishing
‘the ‘X-17 (RIV) as a forerunner of the WSLO7A (ICEM) at AFMIC.

Many deficiencies in the operation of the range have been umaovered

closely as possible to the WS 107 A system. Future plans will
emphasize the compatible design and construction of

equipment and other base and range support equipment so long as
orbital and reconnaissance capability can be demonstrated.

support of the Advanced Reconnaissance System and to ensure that the

operation will integrate easily and remain compatible with the WS 107A
Operation.

Consideration has been given to the problems that will be
encountered in establishing an ultimate launching facility. For pur-
Poses of discussion this facility appears to have requirements for
launching and tracking similar to the current facility at AFMIC, al-
though the functional support will not be as elaborate.

The tentative requirements for the establishment of vehicle
intercept and control stations, which will also serve as data ac-
quisition stations » have been established.

In addition, a central intelligence center, which will
serve as the focus for data interpretation, date analysis, and data
display, is Planned. This facility is discussed in Subsystem I.

C. ‘Solution or Recommendations

Since the in-plant facilities of this support subsystem in-
volve the design of many different units of test, check-out, handling
and Processing equipment, and since much.of this equipment is standard
laboratory or handling equipment used on other current programs, ni
effort bas been made to Present general design specifications of
the units.

The principal Ground handling units will be similar to those
used on the X-17 (RIV). program which are discussed in Volume IV of the
First Pied Piper Quarterly Progress Report (MSD 1363).

A re-evaluation of the vehicle logistic flow scheme has
been made (see Fig. J-1).

AFMIC FACILITY. Consideration has been given to the hand-
ling of the vehicle during its assembly on the Atlas booster. Al-
though little detait concerning the type of equipment which is to be
supplied at the Atlas launching pads has been supplied by the Air
Force, preliminary design of the vehicle Places emplasis on using
cranes and hoisting gear similar to that which will be used for hand-
ling and assembly of the Atlas warhead. The more advanced vehicles
require additional clearance of the Atlas gantry equipment, and it
appears that @ modification to the equipment can be made as the’ subse-
quent pads are built. It also appears that the early vehicles will
require a modification of the gantry equipment as well as modifications
of electrical and electronic wiring and equipment.

A critical examination will be made of the Atlas ground
handling end launcher design to provide a foundation for design
optimization with the ARS vehicle. ‘This design will be evolved at a
later date for inclusion at the Alternate Launch Facility.

II. LOCATION

Iocation of the facility has not been suggested, pending opera-
tional analysis determination of the best sites. From the study of
over-all intelligence requirements-and the importance of the data that
will be Presented, however, it appears that such a facility should be
installed at a site where coordination and liaison for both military
and contractor ig readily available, More important, it appears that
the site should be easily accessible to top level military strategists.

South Central U.s. locations are being considered,

‘IIr. DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION

The ARS Intelligence Center will consist of a plant complex with
buildings or wings designed to the special requirements of three pro-
cessing and interpretation Branches. Display rooms are Provided near
the Processing Branches. for Viewing large-scale maps or hemispherical
terrestrial veproduction by senior Planners and commanders. The display
area is planned to be readily accessible to subterranean car ports.

Equipment laboratories and shop and modification areas are to be
Provided in underground floors or seperate wings.

The Intelligence Center will be supported by data relayed from the
Vehicle Intercept, Control and Data Acquisition Stations. The Preliminary
Processing equipment, » although Physically located at each Data Station,
is an essential link-in the Center's operation. While detail design of
the relay methods have not been evolved, many existing methods will be
critically examined to evolve the most expeditious. Processing at the
Center (ARSIC) ig accomplished by use of mechanical, photographic, opti-
cal and audio-visual equipment, with storage and recall capability by use
of @ Minicard System.

Tab 1 - General Design Specification

I. GENERAL
A. Statement of the Problem

The Purpose of this subsystem is to provide plans and designs
for facilities, ground handling, test equipment, and general support
of the Advanced Reconnaissance System.

B. Approach

Preliminary studies have been made to evaluate the total
Problems that will be encountered in establishing a suitable vehicle
fabrication schedule to match testing and flight schedules. In
addition, consideration has been given to camponent evaluation tests
at in-plant laboratories before components are approved for subsystem
use and subsequent subsystem prototype installation.

An evaluation nas been made of the Preliminary require-
ments for the Captive Systems Test Facility which will be primarily
concerned with testing of liquid Propellant engines » complete vehicle
systems during hot firing runs, complete vehicle systems in radiation
and other hazardous environments, and the similation of the complete

orbit environment.

The present X-17 facility at AFMIC has been critically examined

in an effort to Provide a well-organized scheme of operation for the

-Equipment and instrumentation required for the Intelligence

Tentative requirements for a central data assimilation center
are. presented in the volume describing Subsystem I, Ground
Deta Processing. In general, it is expected that the facil-

facility has not been suggested pending operational analysis
to determine the best sites; however, it should be where
transportation for both military and contractor Personnel is
readily available. this includes an airstrip for all types
of military aircraft, Central U.S. locations are being
considered.

Center will, for the most part, be fabricated by the Lockheed
Aireraft Corporation, Missile Systems Division, the Eastman
Kodak Company and TEM, Development and training of ARSIC
operational personnel will be accomplished under this project.

This task encompasses the obvious aspects of real estate ac-
quisition as well as design, construction, and installation of
building facilities. Shops for general maintenance and re-
pair will be included, Additional instrument shops and
electronic laboratories will provide for the installation and
maintenance of the Components of the center.

Contractor: Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Missile Systems
Division

This task involves the ‘orientation and schooling required to
establish operational and Personnel capability potential.

Personnel Protection and Meterial Safety

Contractor: Lockheed Alroraft Corporation, Missile Systems
Division .

Consideration has been given to personnel Brotection ang
material safety in Planning all facilities, handling and
test equipment. Protection of operational personnel by use
of protective clothing and Sprays, and provision of escape
areas is a standard practice used in the propulsion and
chemical industries. Protection of "nearby" personnel, and
work areas will be by filtration (modification of vapors to
