to apses' &potential enemy's capabilities and probable intent has become

more critical as the advancement of technologrhea given then offensive

of 1955, design study proposals 'ere solicited fram selected contractors

from Industry.

The nnnber of sources solicitedvms limited by the desire to maintain

a secure program throughout the design and developmmt phase. 113 117L is a

reconnaissance system involving the lambing of a vehicle into relit for the

away the satellite vehicle continues in a self stabilised predetermined. coast

to an altitude of approx1mate4 300 statute miles. At the termination of the

coast phase the internal satellite poser plant activates, emptying the orbital

velocity increment required (3-10,000 ft/sec.) to establish a stbstantially

circular orbit. Subsequent platform motion and the internal controls will

then erect the vehicle to the proper attitude. The most canon reconnaissance

orbits will peas within • few degrees of the poles. When the vehicle approaches

an area of interest, an internal timer will start the sensing equipment. In

the case of Visual Recconaissance, signals will be received and stored on photographic film. In the case of Electronic Recomnsissance Sad Infrared Reconnaissance signals will be received and stored on stic tape. -

The vehicle will continue aroma the earth, and when within range of

The vehicle will then begin its nest cycle. These revolutions will

be repeated. at approximately 90 minute intervals. Because the orbit is

essentially fixed in specs, addle the earth rotates inside it, successive

passes over the earths surface will, be displaced. approximately 22-1/2

degrees- at the equator. This offsetting will permit a single vehicle to

view the entire earth in a total time period add& depends on the width of

The orbiting satellite vehicles of MB 1171. will be equipped with

devices for sensing and relaying to the ground, reconnaissance information

in the radio, infrared, and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

will include a variety .of configurations, capabilities, and useful satellite

life spans. Development of the system will proceed. iron a sisple design of

limited capability to a refined version capable of meeting the requirements

of NB No. 5. An important trade-off of sophistication for availability is

necessitated., if useful, and presently non-emistent intelligence data are to

be gathered at an early date. It is realised that the flights scheduled within

the BID effort "ill produce intelligence information of considerable interest

and use to a number of national. agencies. Therefore principal design objectives

for the data processing subsystem yell be to gran with and match the increased

detail, values and data rat* of the collection systems.

As the result of technical considerations and the requirement

for an early orbitil capability, the development has been planned. so as to

(c) To build experience and confidence in recovert' techniques. These objectives will be achieved by the launching biomedical recovery capsules into orbit on IS Lin flights. The capsules will,

be separated. fraa the parent vehicle on either the 18th or 32nd pass and will

be recovered southwest of Hawaii. The biopackage will be tracked by radar, by

RC-121 aircraft, and by Navy surface vessels. Recoverywill be accomplished

either by airsnatchl by C-119 aircraft1 or by surface vessel.

b. Atlas Boosted Program

The Atlas boosted program' is composed of the following:

(1) Visual POnotional Develogment. The purpose of this

program' is to develop a reconnaissance satellite using 6 and 36 inch focal

length camera configurations capable of resolving 100 and 20 foot ground objects,

respectively. Location accuracy will be one vile of true location improving to

1/2 mile as the work progresses.

The visual reconnaissance satellite will consist of a stabilised vehicle

and a visual recomnaissance payload operating with three data. acquisition

stations and an intelligence data processing center. The visual photographic

payload will be employedwith an electronic readout and transmission over the

ZI. Auxiliary power will be supplied by batteries initially and later by

solar or nuclear power supplies.

The 6 inch focal length cams will be used in the vertical position and

will photograph a 100 ails wide strip or ground with an average length of 2000

miles• per pass. The 36 inch system will cover a 17 mile width in the vertical

position but will be programmed across the lime of flight to intercept areas of

definite interest. This camera can also be aimed fore and aft to provide steno

photogrephy when desired.

The major activity of this progrma is concerned with the design, fabrication, and laboratory evaluation of experimental and prototype models ofs.photographiC visual payloads. Such wort includes extensive environmental testing

of the prototype, determining compatibility with the data link and command

links, and flight testing. An imparlWant part of this programa will be the achievement of sufficient reliability of the visual stbsystem on orbit. lltensive -

testing on the ground and an orbit will have tabs perftrami to obtain the reliability required. for long life unattended operation.

(2) Ferret Functional t. The purpose of

the ferret promo' is to develop an electronic rec ssimce satellite which

will be capable of locating known electronic signals and detecting new electronic signals in the bend of 50 ac/s to 18,000 me. Emitting sources

operating above 1000 mc/s will be located. within miles of their true geographic position.

The early version of the electronic reconnaissance satellite will consist

of essentially the same vehicle, data intercept sites and Intelligence Center

as used in the visual development program. The ferret pegpload will consist

of antennas, high sensitivity receivers, narromplemdmminetic tape recording,

and directional data transmission. The auxtliery power will be provided by

silver-sinc ;primary batteries.

The major task is concerned with the design, fabrication Land testing of

the electronic components and complete subsystem models at the ferret payload

equipment. The test programs includes laboratory environmental tests and

flight tests.

As developaent progresses equipment will be developed that allows for

accurate determination of signal characteristics such as CV and unique modulations. It will also provide more accurate location of electronic ad.tters

than the early version especially at frequencies below 1000 aefs. Less than

50 miles uncertainty can be anticipated in the locatiai of as isolated signal.

More complex ferret equipment and antames will be used.

(3) SaDveillance Develcallent 

(a) Visual Reconnaissance Surveillance Development. This portion of the Atlas booster program lames to the development of a

coraimmuous visual surveillance satellite capable of grand resolutions at about

10 feat with location accuracy (1/10) of a mile of true location or better:

For the visual surveillance version parallel effort Willi bertniatid in lateral '

1. Very long focal, length photographic

systems with possible multiple camera installations.

The developments presently being conducted can be considered ' as part of

the surveillance orates. filmy different equipment configurations will be available for installation in a particular vehicle 'when the demand exists.

(b) Ferret Surveillance Develmanment• The purpose

of this portion at the Atlas boosted program is to develop an advanced ferret

capability incorporating men; new features. For example, by the use of ground.

generated. command signals it will be possible to change the frequency band and

other signal parameter to be monitored by the satellite ferret equipment.

(c) M Attack-alara Development.. The purpose at

this portion of the Atlas boosted program is to develop an lafrarett surveillance

satellite capable of providing early yarning and trecktng data against manned

bombers (as well as other airbreathing vehicles), and an unequivocal warning of

an ICES[ attack. Functioning as a manned bomber tracking system, the satellites

will operate at a 300 mile altitude.

(3) A battery energised power supply has been selected to • meet the requirements of early vehicles, 'wh4& operating duration is

more likely to be limited by system reliability than by the energy capacity

or the power supply, and for which proaf ,testing and redesign data are the

primary objectives. Beyond. that stage, however, very long duration power

supplies will become increasingly desirable. Systems requiring simultaneous

functioning of multiple satellites. dictate lifetimes of one year or more.

Solar and nucleon power supplies are therefore .being developed. Advanced

electro-chesical sources to back up battery systems are also being considered

in the event that solar and =leer developments are not completely successful

or 11/41 prolonged..

(ii) The battery seemly will employ silver-sine nodules

for the earliest reconnaissance systims.•

Solar power units will adapt silicon photovoltaic converters into a complete Mbsystem 'meting in 117L requirements. Environmental degradation of iillecn cells and secondary battery cycle life are

important question in evaluating the performance of conceptual solar designs.

Orbital tests planted for Atlas boosted flights fill be necessary' before designs can, be completed. large collector-converter panels mooted on the vehicle

skin, or mounted for heliotropic action, will require same vedesiga 'of '

the present vehicle.

Two uclear secondary power units for IS 117L are under

development by the MC in a program known as SW (Subsystem for inelear

Auxiliary Power). Requtremants and vehicle integration prublelas are 'worked

out through a Joint APIID..AJC SNAP Committee. MAP I is a rollosotope fueled,

500 electrical watt, 60 dig supply with inherent capability to provide 250

watts for 230 dews . SW. II iii utilise a 45 .kilowatt reactor heat source and

produce 3 kilowatts electrical output. with a me year operating' lifetime.

d.. Subsystem ihr - Guidance and Control

(1) The gaidaace and control subsystem for the Thor boosted

117L vehicles will be cceprised of all those it of equipment required. to

perform the following functions:

Provide a programmed trajectory during the Thor boost

phase and a signal for separation of the orbiting vehicle from. the booster and

the end. of the boost phase.

Provide programed pitch of the satellite vehicle

during the coast period. to establish and naintain'the required orientation of

the vehicle for orbital boost.

6. Development of a, very accurate slow speed film

drive mechanisms which can-he corrected from the 'ground by command signals.

The cameras will have 6 and 36 inch focal length lenses.

The lens speeds will be 1/2.8 or faster and the lenses frill resolve over 100

lines per m4114".fter at a 2 to 1 target contrast ratior Aramaic exposure

control will be included in order to provide optimum exposure for maxima

resolution.

The subsystem will function at an orbiting altitude

or approximately 300 miles. Initial versions will resolve objects of approximately 100 foot dimensions with a location accuracy of one mile; later versions

will resolve objects of approximately 20 feet dimensions with a location accuracy

of 1/2 mile; in its surveillance version it will resolve objects smeller than

20 feet dimensions with a location accuracy of 1/10 ails.

In evaluating the significant military information in

pictures, it is basically assumed that dimensims associated with the various

targets are directly related to the optical resolution of the pictures. Actually,

there are many additional factors that enter into the problem and affect the

information content. Therefore, an soperimentalphotognothic simulation programme initiated. A series of military scenes was selected, and simulated

satellite pictures were wade at scale factors corresponding to ground optical

resolutions of 17, 33 and 100 fest. In some cases stereoscopic pairs Imre

available. Thesepictures were then analysed by photo interpretation personnel

in the Directorate of intelligence, Ahadquerters, USAF.

The photographic simulation propels will play silimdap

mental role in the definition of the intelligence-user value and processing

requirements of the visual data. A major effort is being made to increase the

realism of the progress through the use of more pictures and the introduction

of degradations in picture quality dui to hese and to electronic reed-out processing.

f. Subsystem - Ferret Becommaisomme 

The ferret reconnaissance subsystem consists of the

satellite-borne equipment required to collect intelligence information from

electronic emissions in the region of the electrmagnetic spectrum between

50 and 40,000 megacycles per second. The subsysten equipment will store,

filter or process this information as may be necessary. At the proper time,

the stored intonation will be reconverted into an appropriate electrical

signal for transmission to the ground by the Orcand-Space Ccomnications Subsystem. The subsystem also includes the ground equipment required to service

the above described satellite-borne elements of the Electronic Reconnaissance

Subsystem.

The development of a ferret reconnaissance subsystem is

necessary because existing systems are not capable of operating unattended in

the enviroomental conditions which will prevail in the satellite nor are they

capable of performing the desired functions for the volume of traffic anticismaAmi. L-2-27

(b) Initial configurations of the equipment will gather data

of primary intelligence importance. The equipment will be capable of identifying

the location of known signals and unknown signals within each of several frequency

bands. Accuracy of information concerning frequency and ground location may be

sacrificed to optimise intercept probability. Later configurations will be

tailor-made to perform specific intelligence missions.

(5) The initial versions will be capable of receiving pulsed

Priority assignments are subject to change as the changing intelligence

requirements oaf dictate.

(6) The equipment having priorities 1 and 2 will intercept two

large classes of known enemy radar. The other equipment will have high intercept probability in order to detect the existence of new aignala or known

signals in new locations.

Subsystem "Gm . • Infrared Reconnaissance Subsystem

The infrared reconnaissance subsystem consists of the

satellite-borne equipment required to collect intelligence information fraa

that region of the electromagnetic spectrum from 1 to 12 microns wave length,

to procees and store this information, and, at the proper time, to reconvert

this stored information to an appropriate electrical signal for transmission to

the' grounda-by the Ground-Space Canaunication Subsystem. This subsystem

also includes the ground equipment required to service the above described

satellite-borne ccponents. .

The infrared subsystem Ina satellite at 1000 miles

altitude will detect and locate ICI[ launchings to a slant range of approx.

Immtely 2600.miles. The information is relayed directly to a ground receiving station, within 2400 idles ranee. With one such station located at

high latitude and with fifteen satellites in operation simultaneously, the

entire region above latitude 5$0 north can be kept under continuous surveillance. When a data link is developed which will permit tnfOrmation to

be relayed between satellites for transmission to the ground, greater coverage

with half as espy vehicles combs achieved.

• .- (3) Fraa an orbit of 300 miles altitude, the lemma

subsystem equipment will locate large jet aircraft and missilis to slant

ranges of eggeducimately 420 miles. Since immediate transmission is not

essential When air breathing vehicles are detected, the data mg be stored

and reed out later during the SCisdnnte othitaleyele.

of all those it of equipment required to :perforsithe following functions:

Determine the position of a satellite vehicle

relative to the earth as • function of time by process of observation and

prediction.

Command and program the functioning of the vehicle

C. Ground Support liquipeent (GSB) 

Management concepts developed forum by the Air Force

Ballistic Missile OSh progrmas are being applied to WS 117L. Lockheed

Aircraft Corporation as system integrator will be required to specify

the ground support equipment and tech" cal data required for operational

use. Applicable general specifications and exhibits will be utilised by

AFBMD as management tools to insure development of a useable, integrated

OSE system and availablair of equipment and data in a timer fashica.

System development plans and achedules . for the complete operational USE

system of 1W 117L will be established and monitored in a manner similar to

that utilised for the remainder of the Weapon System.

GU normally required by the Atlas missile iiB 117L 038 trill consist of

five to moven vans and trailers for servicing and handling. In addition,

mast feeding liquid, pneumatic, control and instrumentation lines to the

117L vehicle are required. Equipment racks will be added to the blockhouse

for 1171, vehicle checkout and control.

The demands placed. upon the designer of IS 117L operational

auppOrt equipment use .fras the need to have the system operated by the

Air Force rather than contractor personnel. Rapid reaction and hardening

are not requirements, rather the need to achieve maximeme gnaliia of reconnaissance data and consequent perfection of ground calibration and checkout

procedures is primary. Simplification of equipments economy in personnel

requirements, and reliebiliirs are features that will be stressed.

Equipment categorised by the title no 1171, Ground Support

Test Philosophy

This annex will outline the philosophy that is being used to direct

the le 117L contractors in testing the subsystems individually and in combination, and the spites as a whole. This philosophy draws on experience

of other MI programa, especially the ballistic missiles which serve as

boosters at 16 1171.. Them objectives and missions require the launching

of a large ballistic missile, and an equally, if not more, complex second

stage, the acquisition of reconnaissance data, sustained camennication with

three, or more, ground stations, and the redactions processing and dissenttion of great rauma of data, daily. To the aforementioned end, the teat

program plan is predicated on pyramidal-su p port, from each lower-order test,

as to data, for the logical next order, and finally full ardor system test.

The flight tests will, even early in the program, result in the

acquisition of data that can be used to mercies many major system elements.

Therefore the in-plant and laboratory test plan is extrammly condensed, to

insure early mailability of major grotad-station-prototype equipment.

Forthcoming vehicle ocnfigurations will require early flight test

of open-loop assemblies thus the priority of flight test objectives will.

also, of necessity, require careful scratinisation as to material benefits

to be derived.

The le Lin will utilise the Thor and Atlas missiles for boosters

direction and conduct of 15 , 117L Teets that involve injecting the orbiting

vehicle into space, and ground acquisition of information sensed on orbit.

Sims the pre-leunch countdown involves, for the greater part, booster

readiness operations, the booster airframe contractor directs his pre-leanch

activities according to a schedule agreed to prior to test initiation,

Unusual eirommetancee that arise during the countdown will be resolved by

AMID and the Weapon System Contractor, with reference to test objective

priorities. The over-all progress of the countdown is directed by the WS 117L Weapon *steal Contractor, who constantly coordinates- all .down-range,

cross-country and Hawaiian or Alaskan station readiness.

(2) The le 117E Weapon System Contractor is assisted in

his role at Test Director by the various Subsystem Operations Controllers.

The subsystems are the WS 11734Airtrams, Propulsion, Ground-Spaco•Comennications, Ouidance, APS, Tiettall ierret, or I-R Parloadand Data Processing.

II. Data Utilisation Plan

1, Introduction

The =Tautly approved progrwa for MB 11Th is primarily developmental

in context. Both the airborne and ground components of this system will be

in a research and development phase in varying degrees until 1965. However,

flights Beheaded within most of the later phases of the R&D effort will

'produce intelligence information of interest and use to a number of national

agencies. Intelligence information, moreover, is not the only benefit

maybe derived from this type of system. Alm' payloads under consideration

agy generate anti-ICBM information of interest to the Air Defense Command;

some may generate weather information; while still others might be used to

investigate space systems intended primarily for commonicationpurposes.

The variety of purposes for which these large satellites can be used end

their consequent national importence demands that the RID field organisation

required to develop the system also be equipped, supported, and prepared to

col at and disseminate this data daring the development period.

The Air Force Ballistic Missile Division of the Air Research and

Development Collard is charged with the development of US 117I4 In order

that the development of this system be pureued with maxim= effectiveness

development considerations (in contrast to payload bpproducts) must be kept

paramount. The initial flights do not finalise development. On the contrary,

it is necessary to incrementally improve the satellite, its payloads and

•
supporting ground system:: throughout all presently scheduled flights in order

that rewired system characteristics be met.

AFBMD planning is directed toward a balanced developmental program

and system test program during the time period 1960 to 1965 with the following

characteristics:

Maxima priority and effort on achieving a well-developed and

workable system.

ifaximmin use of existing ballistic missile boosters, facilities

and test equipment.

3, &Amu use of existing communication nets and command channels

for the collection, receipt, and transmission of data.

4. Maxima beneficial. use of the data collected.

1ST= OF ACRIEVEMBler

Launchers and supporting launch equipment will be positioned at

Cooke Air Force Base. Launching of all satellites capable of collecting

intelligence information will be made at this location. In the interest of

eclonolay, the Atlas GB Mod II tracking radar and associated computer now being

installed at. Cooke Air Force Base will be need. Atlas support facilities

and equipments required to assemble and check out the boosters and added MD

second stage support facilities and equip:amts will be in position and checked

out prior to the receipt of the first RD 117L vehicles.

The task of placing a satellite in orbit is relatively simple as

compared to the development. of the required payloads and ground system necessary

to support the total system. Thus, the key to the satisfactory attainment at

a conpletely operational system lies in the quality of the development effort

applied to create an Air Force capability to gather, process, and handle the

raw data obtainable.

The tracking and acquisition stations and the technical operations

and data proceeting facilities required to support the VAS 3.17L development

effort must be sited and under construction in 1959, and completed in 1960.

This portion of the progrmeis the first step intolving data receipt and

handling required to attain the goals established by General Operational

Requirement documents.

The fact that the program will be essentially developmental in

nature tbrough.1964 makes it desireble that many technical evaluation

functions and data processing functions be located at development facilities.

The logical location for such facilities is adjacent to or within

the plaits of contractors responsible for the development of prime system

equipment. The development of the total system is in its early phases and

follow-on development of the various system elements will continue for Kee

time Therefore, each a capability will be penumently useful and will

enable proper program augmentation. Naziism benefit will be derived from

this close association since equipment and system malfunctions and =natio-

information received by this integrated facility will

be relatively meager.and sporadic and will not represent the amount or flow Which will later be characteristic of the ultimate weapon systole. The use,

therefore of this research and development caLlaction point and existing

Oommenicatio n systems for handling and disseminating intelligence data will

be only an beatomicaI developmental step towards the attainment of a fast

reacting reconnaissance systen . capable of handling massive quantities of

data.

As the development program progressed throughout its planned

evOlntion, there will, be constant modification and rapid improvement of

not' only the vehicle itself but of the equipment ihich assimilates and

handles the data received at the R&D data collection point.

Mesise of these facilities and early equipments have

in most cases ely been established and have been tailored to the research and development system test effort each they am designed to

support. An to the acceleration of this program combined with fond limitations the systole and subsystem contractors will be hard-pressed to

meet the) changes required in going from phase to phase of the development

program now visualised. It is most important, if development objectives

are to be met, that there be no substantial non-Re requirements levied

against R&D facilities and equipments during the development period. The

collection point, however, will be prepared to furnish data received during

this time period to all interested agencies. This service will be coincidental with the fulfiltbent of its development purpose.

Maximal econcey of personnel and natural resources may be affected

through the use of this MD facility for data dissemination purposes and

trill permit the Air Force to defer the construction of the operational

intelligence or data processing center until a time when the 18 1171, program

has reached a state of development where more valid' equipment, facility,

support and comunication requirements can be estAblished.

FIRM= AND MUM 

During the early phase of this program it will be necessary to use

a large number of civilian contractor personnel for field operations. In

order to accelerate the exploitation of space by this country, it is necessary
that a miens of Air Porn operational personrel be placed in the R&D

program and trained in the operation of the total system so as to permd.t

rapid Air Faroe expameion in this field.

Ittlitary personnel selected in ties early. phases of the development program most be carefally screened and trained for this type of

operation. In order to facilitate personnel acquisition for introduction

into the development promos and to acquire skills needed, all Air Force

commands should be prepared to support this program on a priority basis.

WW1=

Mbxing the research and development program, primary support will

be Zernimbed frost la civilian ocestwactors involved. It is planned that

military support including tie-in to AV electronic data processing will be phased into the development effort alien equipment development prop's.' and

program &enticement will perch and nee-rates are established. Ikee to the fact that the advanced reconnaissance system is attained is distinct phases,

it is expected that a truly idlitary support effort cannot be effected until

the latter stages of

FACICITIEI

In order to provide facilities required to set tire exacting realm* and developmnt schedules, site selection, design and conetructian

has bean governed primarily by tlebnical requirements. Tor malcr facilities

III. vs lin FLIGHT TEST PROGRAM

The first phase of the VS 117L Plight Test Program involves the Ude

of Thor missiles as'boosters, and Cooke APB hunch sites. The objectives fair.

this first phase are divided into two broad categories, namely WS 117L

Vehicle Operation Testing, VS 117L/Thor compatibility:testing,- and Aeramedicel

payload orbital operation end recovery.'

THOR BOOSTED MORN

The first two Thor boosted MAW.s villibe primarily Phase A

engineering tests to establish orbital capability and determine Thor-IS 117L

vehicle compatibility. Initially the emArveight of the =vehicle an

orbit gill be appreeimately 1270 pounds increasing to about 1759 pounds by the

tenth flight. The increased payloads will be possible commenctogerkWh-the

fifth vehicle as the result of conversion to taw fraia•JPA.

• Yellowing the first two flights, plans call fog, the gradual increase

in test complevilgriar the addition of biomedical experimental capsules;

geoArsical instrumentation for immurement of cosmic rays; atmospheric density

and albedo, and PhaseiB engineering tette. It is planned that this letter

vork be completed by the end of the tenth flight. •

Test objectives for Plights 11 through 19 viu be governakin large part'

by the results of previous experience and flight results, prinerily refinement

of recovery Of unites payloads Bran orbit.

ATLAS BOOSTED PROGRAM

The swat phase of the VS En/light Test PrOgrem involved the use

of Atlas mdesiles as boosters, and as before, launch sites at Cooke APB. This

phase viii be introdoied, with flights lades objectives are focused an orbiting

component and assembly combinations af future psyloa subsystem. Significant

equipment and instrumentatiOn loads will be arbited.for the pOrposeaf' gathering

operation data;.. prior to Combining such equipment into full stbsYstees for

orbital operation..

In coo junction with sucklInginsering Teets, the'early Atlas-boosted

flights will serve to check comatibility of the VS117L/Atlas combination.

Thie phase will begin with essentially proven 18 11Th end Atlas vehicles,

in view of previous operation histories, however, compatibility most be

demonstrated, and caibined &mod operations maths refined. Considerable

advantage is realised fraa the selffsuptitined character of the lip lin vehicle,

therefore, the changing or boOsters thouldpresent only minor in-flight

operation changes, providing the individual vehicles perform as designed.
The major portion of the Flight Teat Program for WS 1171.1 as projected

through 1965, depends on the use of the Atlas as a booiter. Beginning early

in 1959,.atio rate of one per month, and in the latter years at a rate of

two per month. These Atlas flights will be accoaplished from a two-pad launch

complex on the Pacific Missile Range Point Arguello Facility.

The Atlas-boosted series of the WS 1171. Program will be aimed at progressively developing Photographic, Ferret, and IR Payload Operations on

orbit. Each .of the payloads cited Will follow the normal pattern of development, wherein sophistication and reliability of design progresses with respect

to data derivation techniques, flexibility of operations to suit specific

applications, refinement of ground pre-launch operations, and data handling,

reduction, a;d dissemination operations.

The status of development and availability of flight hardware for each

Particular payload, at any given time, will determine. the objectives of

fUture flights' therefore, it this time no accurate prediction can be made as

to flight-by-flight Objectives. However, in general, the Photographid and

Peirret Pdyloads will be davelOped in parallel, While the Ili-Attack Ala* System

will phase into full operation in the latter years of the program 4962-3-4).

A. Location

The Weapon System Contractor will perform captive tests at the

Santa Crus Test Base (SCTB), California

Purpose

The basic concept in the ECM program is a couplets systems checkout of each vehicle during a static firing prior to flight. During this

period, specific subsystems will be instrumented as required to determine

individual operating characteristics and their influence on system performance.

Emphasis dii be placed. upon observation of such items as subsystea interactions,

matching between stbsystems, end combined system' response to vibration and

noise. The program will provide a prelaunch checkout of essentially all

missile comments and 'tbs.:stems, operating ender conditions as near their

expected *wire:anent as can be simulated. Exceptions to the inclusion of all

flight hardware in these tests will be considered may if it develops that

equipment in question mill surely be degrade& in performance or reliability

by such a static firing. Upon completion of static firings, the propellant

feed systenwill be purged, the vehicle rechecked, and shipped to the launch

site. The test program at the BM also will be essential to, and designed

for, establishing countdown procedures to be used at the flight base

accomplishing the required training of personnel, eat checking out the ground

PREFACE

This section covers the facilities required in support of the WS 117L.

program. The Program' Summary is divided into two sections by type of funds,

Indxstrial Facilities (P-151) and Military Construction (P-300). Within

the Industrial Facilities (P-151) area, a lime-ites mummery of the detailed

Program shown in saction:n of **Development Plan is presented.

In the Military Construction Program' area, a starvation, by location, of

the items programmed in Seetziosi.:11 is ahem in detail. These facilities are

required to support the following important aspects of the program: system

and night testing; tracking, control, and telasetry; intercept, control,

and data-acqateition; development control; and data interpretation and dissaminstdon. The initial development flight test program will be supported

by modified Cooke A! and AP= launch facilities,-and the continuing development night test *ogres viii be supported by new Cooke AM launch facilities.

Tracking and telemetry stations at Cooke All and the Ihmaiian Islands will

provide accurate trajectory and vehicle per:ammo data daring the developmental and operational flight*. Two tracking and vehicle recovery comma

stations in Alaska will track the vehicle, receive telemetry data, and will

transmit the signal that will eject the recoverable-type capsule fl ocs the

orbiting vehicles. A tracking and control station located et Point lingo,

California, vill accurately track the •vehicle from lamb to mord stage

burnout, and transmit ignition command. Vehicle intercept, control, and

data-acquisition stations in the northwest (Ft. Stevens, Ore.), northeast,

New Boston, N.H.) and central United States viii provide data on vehicle

trajectory and performance, progrsa vehicle functions, acquire reconnaissance

data from the orbiting vehicle and transmit the data to IntelLigence Center*

where intelligence data is processed, evaluated, and dissadnated to intelligence

agencies. A command and administrative facility located at Palo Alto, California,

vill serve -_- a control center throughout tbe development phase of the flight

test prograa.

Budget estimates are based on latest available CM for those facilities

already under construction, and for those for alai& design is complete. Budget

estimates for other facilities are based an the most reliable information presently available. All estimates will be revised as more 'emirate information

becomes available. Support facilities are not included in any of the estimates

as all technical facilities have been sited to take advantage of available at existing military or contractor bases. Funding alder Fr is based

on a five quarter year.

Constructice BOD (Beneficial Occupancy Date) as indicated is this

is the date when buildings and/or structures will be completed to a point

that vill permit occupancy by the using agency for the purpose of instal-111g

unit equipment, special and/or fixed equipment that is not included as con..

struction contractor-installed property.

Construction Ccnplation indicates that flute when the construction contractor

(brick and mortar) has completed to the satisfaction of the contracting agency

and the Air 'brae that work ehich be was obligated to accomplish under terms

of his contract.
