MANAGEMENT OF U-ZR PROGRAM DURING DEVELOPMENT STAGES
a. To establish procedures for control and management of the U-ZR
program during development and flight test.
b. To establish the procedures necessary to configure the U-ZR
aircraft to insure maximum effectiveness.
c. To establish coordination and control necessary for flight test.
d. To establish a security system within the current IDEALIST
security system to apply during development and flight test
phase of the U-2R program.
e. To establish procedures for the gradual inclusion of U-2R
assets into operational configuration.
2. SCOPE: These procedures apply to:
25X1
25X1
a. Development of basic U-ZR airframe, propulsion, and ancillary
systems.
b. Flight test of the U-2R aircraft.
c. Configuration of basic airframe and systems to be employed
therein.
3. RESPONSIBILITIES: Responsibility for the U-2R Development
Program rests in the U-2R Executive Committee for Development,
chaired by the D/R&D/OSA (Project Manager) and comprised of a
member from AFRDR-P, D/M/OSA, and D/OPS/OSA. (COMPT/OSA
and SS/OSA will act as advisors to this Committee.) The responsibilities
of the U-ZR Executive Committee for Development include, but are not
limited to the following:

a. To provide a mechanism by which an effective control and
management can be maintained in the U-ZR Development Program.
b. Provide a mechanism for participation in the U-ZR Program
Development by all authorized parties.
c. To provide appropriate points of interface with the USAF/
AFRDR-P in matters of U-ZR development.
4. PROCEDURES: The U-ZR Executive Committee for Development will:
a. Establish a U-ZR Requirements Review Board to review
configuration, systems, equipments and modification proposals
submitted during development and test phases of the U-ZR
program. This Board will be chaired by D/M/OSA and be
comprised of member(s) from AFRDR-P, D/R&D/OSA,
D/OPS/OSA, LAC, COMPT/OSA, SS/OSA and other components
within or without the Agency such as OEL, ORD, OSI, etc. ,
as required. The Board will possess authority to recommend
configuration requirements which would not violate the integrity
of the basic U-ZR airframe, propulsion system and vehicle
performance. The U-2R Executive Committee for Development
will be kept advised of such decisions on a current basis. In
instances where major configurations or changes affecting
vehicle performance become involved and are considered essential
by its chairman, the Requirements Review Board will refer approval
to the U-2R Executive Committee for Development.
b. The Requirements Review Board will establish working groups to
review in a more narrow scope configurations, systems, equip-
ments, etc. , as they may apply to a particular working groups'
specialized area, e. g. , electronics, cockpits, fuselage, etc.
The working groups would examine configuration proposals
very closely and make recommendations to the Requirements
Review Board for decision. A typical example of a working
groups' composition is that established for the cockpit, chaired
by SAS/D/OPS/OSA with members being Agency pilots, LAC
representatives, D/R&D Life Support, and representatives
AFRDR-P may nominate.

e. The U-ZR Executive Committee for Development chairman
will keep their principals advised, on a current basis, on
progress during U-ZR Development and Flight Test.
