SUDJECT: Contract Requirements
1. During a recent Logistics Planning Conference held with
various contractors during the week of 28 November - 2 December
certain factors that hFVe a direct bearing upon contracts now
being held by - were discussed. In particular, those areas
included certain contract commitments that require either change
or authorization for procurement in order that Project A{:~UATQNE
might be adequately s!zpported. I have listed below those areas
discussed along with my recommendation as to the disposition of
these cases.
25X1A
(1) Recommendation was made by thA contractor as to the type
test equipment necessary to be included in the unit essential equipment
list (TTEE). In most eases this equipment was designated by the manu-
facturers named and a.s such are not common items in the 9.ir Force
stock listing. In addition, this equipment was chosen because of its
range, stability, and configuration. As a result there would be no
assurance that items listed in the Air Force stock list, which appear
to be like items, would meet specifications desired by Ramp-Wooldridge.
~~ These items include such things as multimeters, oscilloscopes, etc.
As the Air force is critically short an any type test ec~.uipment, and
\~~ compatible with the basic items being procured under the contract, I
recommend Ramo-Wooldridge be given authorization to b+~y the necessary
text equipment listed under the UEE.
(z) Another item the contractor calls for in the fly-away
kit list includes such sub-minatures as capacitator;,, resistors,
transistors, etc. .again, these items havo been procured because
certain stability or range factors. These, too, would. be almost
mpossible to identify within Air Force stock lists Y:hile at the same
tine trying to njee~ the unknown ranges desired by the contractor. I
recommend kamo--Wooldridge be given authorization to purchase these
items against the contract as ud.ditional spares be furnished for
fly-away kits.

pre-flight check out of aircraft for the missions. Thia would permit
"B1a.ck box" type change on pre-flight, thereby not holding up the
missions. Recommend that the contractor be given permission to
proceed Yrith the project of building the pre-flight trailer and that
they be granted authority to purchase the trailer or, if so desired,
action be taken to ship a suitable trailer as GFE.
(4) Remo-j~ooldridge procures-tape to be used for the tape
recorder in system #1. Remo-Wooldridge presently has made contact
with the manufacturers who can produce a suitable tape. Cne of. the
tapes ~?tilized is a thin based type and was produced partic~al~.rly for
this Lroject. Because Remo-wooldridga previously has made the contacts
and because the Air Force does not bt~y a thin based tape such as the
one being presently used in recording, Y recommend that Remo-Wooldridge
be .authorized to procure all necessary tape for this F"roject.

(3) The contractor established the need for a trailer equipped
r~ith the various radar systems. This trailer is to be used for the

(1} Discussions with and indicated
that Lockheed has made no provisions for the training of mechanics
to maintain the auto pilot. I recommend necessary arrangements be
made with Lockheed to cross-train mechanicw that are presently con-
templatesd~~~for assignment to the Project or to a.dc~ an addition of
people to each base who have been adequately trained to
?~t~sd'intain and install .the auto pilot.
(2) Zockheed indicated their agreement to have a coup'_e of
mechanics factory-trained for the maintenance of the h1A-~, starting
?units. These people should be trained as soon as possible, in order
that they can be read to maintain these units which a..re scheduled
to arrive at ~ between now and 1 January 196.
