PROCUREMENT

To be determined.

CONSTRUCTION A study has been made on submarine cable as the transmission

method for timing and firing signals to the DISTANT WATERSoff-shore array.
The cable would make a conventional landfall on the southwestern corner of
Johnston Atoll. The cable would enter the signal trough system at the nearest
point and follow the trough system to the EG&G Terminal Board 11 adjacent to
Building 881. At Terminal Board 11, the cable would cross connect into the
existing timing and firing system for completion of the circuits to the JOC
timing and firing center. Phase 1 would be procurement of major material,
including cable and power reel Pre-GO. Phase II would be laying the cable
from an LCU Post-GoO.,
