1.6.3

It is essumed that the test aircraft vill be contaminated

(at the location aboard the test ship) in the same manner end to the seme

extent in this operation that they vould at any locetion on the flight
deck of an eircraft carrier,

1.6.4 The dose to the pilot of the aircraft, as measured on the
tio ships, will have two contributors; dose from the aircraft end dose
from the ship's surfaces (deck, ote.),

It is assumed that it will be

possible to separete the contributions of each of these sources, so thet

the situation existing with many aircraft and a wider deck can be computed,

1.6.6

It is presently extremely difficult to calculate the

ability, distribution of contamination, decontaminability, effect of decontamination methods and matcrials, end requirements during decontamination
of manpover, materials and time can he uscd in planning for the recovery
of contamineted aircraft afloct end ashore,
shielding afforded cither the pilot or the crewmen by the airplenes
structure, An attempt will be: made to compute this shielding value, but
if it is not computable, any multiplication of doso rates as in 1.6.4

will be of limited accuracy,

MISSION

2.1
To obtain information necessary to determine the protective
veluc end feasibility of the ships washdorn system in protecting parked
aircraft ebosrd ship, and to evaluate selected decontamination techniques
and materials,
2.2

To obtain informetion necessary to compute the hezards to

operetion of aircraft on carriors following contaminetion by an etomic
