FUZING SYSTEM AND WARHEAD EVALUATION,
1.
On a Redstone Missile firing at AFMTC (missile number 41) in
November 1957, two safing and Arming devices will be evaluated as HARDTACK
fuzing components.
2.
In addition it is planned that the HARDTACK fuzing system and
warhead will be evaluated on missiles (No.42 and No.46) to be fired in
December 1957 and February 1958, An additional warhead electrical system
will be included inside the warhead for tactical system evaluation. Warhead
operation of both systems will be telemetered.

FIRING PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT,
Of final significance, but not subject to numerical evaluation is one
of the fundamental decisions which will be adhered to throughout the opera~

the inspection checkout and actual launching shall be selected from among
the most experienced in the Army Ballistic Missile Agency. Techniques will
be borrowed from those which have become accepted at the AFMTC and have
repeatedly been proven under firing conditions. Check-out and firing
equipment will be a combination of that which has been used extensively in
