/ peuegen | (DAKOTA) 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.
