Recommendations
a.

Although this instrumentation complex will initially support the

Class I requirements for the Advanced Minuteman Program, this complex
should have the basic capability to support other programs.

Once a

capability exists at Eniwetok, other programs would like to utilize

this terminal instrumentation complex shortly after it becomes operational.

These systems should ‘have more than a marginal capability

when economically feasible, in order to reduce the major modifications
to or replacement of these systems for future programs,

These modifi-

cations and replacements would be very costly at Eniwetok, if done on
a continual basis.

It must be clearly understood that an AN/TPQ-18 Radar is
required to meet the Class I requirements of the Advanced Minuteman
Program.

b.

Section 7 shows those items which were included in the NRD

RPP and the current Military Construction Program (MCP).

As a

result of this instrumentation complex, reprogramming of these
funds may be required to meet future program requirements.

Some

of the items in the MCP may be required sooner than when they are
currently programmed,
In addition to the items in Section 7, funds for telemetry
at Kokee Park were programmed for FY 68 thru FY 70.

These funds

could be reprogrammed for future improvements to the instrumentation
complex.

In the planning and site selection for this instrumentation

complex, the installation of the Re-entry System Evaluation Radar
