Project 5.2 = In Flight Participation of a Be52 = Lt. Francis L. Williams
Objectives:
The objective of this test was to determine the delivery capability
of the B52,
Instrumentation:
:
we
Instrumentation of the B=52 for th
(DAKOTA) shot consisted
of 310 oscillograph channels which recorded measurements from strain~gage
bridges, accelerometers, thermocouples, pressure transducers, calorimeters,
roll and pitch gyros, radiometers, and control position transducers, *
In addition, 14 cameras recorded photo-recorder instruments (14 Channels),
wing and tail deflection, cloud coverage, and fireball rise and growth.
