Enclosures Technical Description dtd 5 April 1960, by
serials 116-46-3
We are pleased to subs#it this quotation for Phase II of the LAS
Evaluation in reply to your recent request.
The objective of this proposed program is to obtain, through lost
and observation, sufficient data to permit appraisal of perform-
ance, suitability, and reliability of the IRS system. A secondary
objective is the generation of cenclusians and recommendations
derived from test results which say improve the usefulness of the
equipment. The technical details on4 further discussion are caa-
tained in the enclosed *Technical Description."
It is estimated that this program, including a final report to be
furnished in nine (9) months, and a life-test supplement in six (6)
months, can be completed in fifteen ' (ls) iionths from date of con-
tract acceptance.
The estimated cost of this program is as follows in the Oest-Dreakdawn.

As Phase I was abruptly terminated because of technical deficiences
of the equipment being tested, we have remaining sums of authorised
funds available to apply to Phase II, if it should be granted as an
extension of the present contract. The cost breakdown, using the
remaining funds, would then be as follows:

IS STALDATIQJ
The objective of this proposed progras is to obtain, through test
and observation, sufficient data to perait appraisal of perforranee,
suitability, and reliability of the LU syosam. A se-caadsry objective
is the generation of conclusi ens and recoa msadati ns derived from, test
results Which may Improve the usefulness of the equi,psust.
A previous progro was started sad proceeded long enough to uncover
a basic equipment weakness. The squipment was withdrawn fray tort by
the customer and sent to the sum 'ac rer for seedification. The present
program is designed to evaluate the modified aquipeant along the general
lines proposed for the original egaipasat. Certain sadifiattions in the
test procedure are included where azparienca with the equipment has indi..
cated the feasibility or desirability of certain tssts. Other tests were
found to be Impractical of meaningless and have been excluded.
A final report will be issued at the end of the regular test program.
and a sapplaeent will be issued at the conclusion of the life-Us" pro.-
