These instruments should be located in the aircraft

in a position similar to that in the F-81G,

They will

have suitable response times, food responses to a wide
spectrum of gamma radiation energy, and suitable pressure
and humidity characteristics, They will probably be
comprised by the instruments presently furnished for
sampling purposes,

Approximate Radius of Operation of the Aircraft:
The radius operation for sampling is dependent upon
the wind velocity at the sampling altitude, the time
of cloud penetration, and the test site geometry. The
most probable radius of operation is 300 miles but

under certain circumstances may attain 00 miles.

Aircraft Required to Support Sampling Missions:

For continental shots the capability of the B-50D is

adequate for a control aircraft,

For the high yield shots in the Eniwetok Proving Ground
area the control aircraft should have a capability of
at least ten hours total flight time, eight of which
mst be spent at 5,000 feet. The control aircraft
should have space for the normal crew plus at least
two spaces for control personnel, If this aircraft

has a speed capability of approximately 0.8 mach it
may be possible to perform some of the early reconnaissance operations with it instead of with one of the
sampling aircraft.

7.3

Courier aircraft support similar to that now required
for Nevada and Eniwetok Proving Grounds shots will be
required,

Special Equipment Needed in Support Aircraft:
Inter-communication, VHF communications and homing

eqiipment now required for control aircraft will be

needed in the future. Sufficient space should be
available for radiation monitoring instruments which

will be carried during the control flight.

Flights Desired Between Scheduled Tests:

91

Flight tests for the evaluation and calibration of
special equipment may be required fromtime to time
