by other BuOrd plants.
The quantity desired and the nature of futyreshaves would
be a factor in deciding whether they should be manufactured for the AEC in Budrd
_ facilities.
For the development of any implosion case, BuOrd has the facilities
“for complete prototype fabrication, ballistic studies and testing.
The Bureau of
” aeronautics (Buder) can supplement BuOrd effort on all phases to do with air work
. and continue to supply as in the past, all necessary design, structural leading,
“ vibration and environmental criteria.

OUTER CASE - Projectiles

~
BuOrd has not done any work on atomic projectiles except to consult with
Army Ordnance; however, all the non-nuclear parts of such projectiles are problems
with which the Burd has had extensive experierce.
Its exnerience in impact type
projectiles is outstanding.
OUTER CASE ~ Guided Missiles and Rockets
BuOrd pioneered in the field of guided missiles and has atomic puided missiles
scheduled for the future.
BuOrd is currently studying the feasibility of an atomic
warhead on its greund to air missile using for the most part the facilities of its
subsidiary, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL)+«
