Burd developments in this field include the povder-driven "inteerrated

” power supply" of the ERRIOR missile anc the NOTS propellantedriven turbo_ generator for OMAR and SIDEVINDER.
TEST EQUIPMENT
Buder has manufactured test equipment to Sandia Corporation specifi-

cations and has designed aircraft equipment of this nature.

The NRL was brought

into the ficld of atomic weapon test equipment through work on the ABEE fuze.

Although BuOrd did not develop the test equipment forwete Mark 8, such was recommendede

Budrd is prepared in the future to develop test equipment along with the

weapon with which it is associated.

Many activities in the Navy have experience

and competence in developing equipment to test any specific piece of ordnance de-
