Results are presented of communication studies on
the Cutlass/Roundup mission conducted on 23 November
1965. The possible interference between EG&G and Sandia

Communication links tentatively established for Bass

Drum was determined to be zero. The Bass Drum
communication data link configuration is thus deemed to
be acceptable as conceived. As a secondary Cutlass
objective, field strength measurements on the assigned
Bass Drum frequencies were made and analyzed. Results
are given of the analysis of these measurements on the
nine orbits flown by the three NC-135 aircraft in the
area of the Cutlass Zero-site barge. The Cutlass
experiment showed that the radiating lobes of the barge
antenna extended fifty to sixty miles and that usable
Signals can be received at both the barge and the
aircraft provided

(1)

receiver sensitivity is

10

{mu}V

or greater, (2) transmitter outpower is 25 W or greater
on the barge and 20 W or greater on the aircraft, and
(3) aircraft altitude is maintained above 5,000 ft. The
most critical requisites for reliable reception, in the

order of their importance, are (1) antenna-to-antenna
unobstructed signal path,
(2) aircraft altitude (as
directly related to the lobe pattern),
(3) transmitting
antenna stability or predictable orientation, and (4)
