The measurements undertaken by the Subcritical
Assembly Group in support of the Redwing small weapons
program are described. These measurements were concerned

with: safety checks for the Taxi engineering studies,
design studies on two mockups of the Swift device
(Mockingbird I

and the assembly at NTS

of swift

in several of its possible forms. The efforts of the
Group are reported in chronological order, with
summaries of experimental data given as they were
obtained. The work done to develop a mock high explosive
for use in the subcritical work, and a calculation of
the probable yield of a single-point detonation of Swift,
are described in appendixes.
