The Instrumentation Complex will be implemented initially to support

the Advanced Minuteman Program.

In addition to supporting the very basic

requirements of the Advanced Minuteman Program, the instrumentation complex will initially have some additional capabilities and will have a
growth potential to meet future program requirements.

In order to

support the requirements given in Appendices A and B, and to provide
the basis for a general purpose terminal impact area instrumentation
complex, the following instrumentation is needed at Eniwetok:
a.

Metric Tracking

b.

Telemetry

c.

Acquisition Aid

d.

Timing

e.

Operations Control Center

f.

Command Control

g.

Computer

h.

Meteorological Facility

i.

Intra-site Communication

Figure 4 is the System Data Flow Diagram for the Eniwetok Instrumentation
Complex.

The support for Radar Cross-section, Radiant Energy Observables

and Ballistic Cameras could be supplied by other means, such as the ARIS
ships, aircraft, etc.

The estimated readiness date of the instrumentation

complex is May 1967,

METRIC TRACKING
The Class I metric tracking requirements given in Appendices A and B

necessitate the procurement and installation of an AN/TPQ-18 Radar in the
terminal area.

Due to its operational angle accuracies, an AN/FPS-16

Radar will not meet the position requirements.
