+ ‘ > instrumentation for structural loading by the NAS, Patuxent, and very extensive instrumentation by NRL for a great variety of purposes. ' INSTRUMENTATION - Field : Buazer, Buships, BuOrd, and Naval Research have contributed extensively - to instrumenting full scale tests in the field by supplying cr developing instru‘ments and techniques. Some examples of Naval assistance in this field are: . equipment for collecting air samples, long-range detection, measuring blast, er movenent, alpha, transit time, neutrons time release, heat, ionizing radiation, the effects of radiation and blast, structural loading and scaling criteria. Many other special sensing devices, indicators, recorders, analyzers, and computer have been specifically developed for the ANC with NOL and NRL contributing most o: the effort. INSTRUMENT.TICN = Range & A large percentage of range instrumentation uscd in atomic weapon work has been provided by the Navy. ( Burd and NPG have supclied high-speed cameras, _Askanias, chronographs, pressure guages, etc. NRL has, in addition to other work developed new tclometering techniques and equipment which are extensively used.

Through the Buder, air- craft and pilots have been made available to the Sandia Corporation for conductin: aerodynamic as wcll as ballistic and compatibility tests. BALLISTICS - In cennection with ballistics th: Navy has performed drops and has done much instrumentation for the ASC at Dohlgren, Inyckern, and Salton Sea. In addition to conducting thuse tests the Navy has the compctency and appropriate computers, such as those at Dahlgren, to reduce the data.
