Major Patrick L. Garvin, ADC Headquarters, Ent AFB,
Colorado
Captain Charles Masuga, 460 FIS, Oxnard AFB,
California
Captain Barger, 27th AD, Luke AFB, Arizona
25X1A
The-undersigned attended a- conference at Head-
quarters ADC, Ent AFB for the purpose of formulating
and coordinating plans involving all organizations
participating in the forthcoming continua- 25X1A
tion flight test.
3. Actions completed:
a. The written description, prepared at Project
Headquarters, was distributed and thoroughly discussed.
It was agreed by all that the primary altitude of the
test bed will be 70,000 feet. The F-106 interceptors
will utilize tactics that will simulate the use of the
sidewinder missile and they should reach approximately
60,000 feet at the peak of the zoom. F-106 crews must
USAF review(s) completed.

comply with ADC regulation not to exceed 50,000 feet
for more than 90 seconds. This restriction should not
adversely affect this test.
b. Major Garvin (ADC Headquarters) stated that two
zoom intercepts can normally be obtained per F-106
sortie. A total of 12 sorties are scheduled and this
could result in a maximum of 24 intercepts. The
intercepts were designed as two on one (two F-lOG
fighters on one target) and, in the event that only one
fighter is available, one intercept as one on one.
c. The undersigned stressed the importance for all
interceptors to execute the stern zoom attack simulating
the use of the sidewinder missile only. Special emphasis
is to be made on these tactics at the Fighter Interceptor
and Weapons Director briefings. Captain Masuga (Oxnard
AFB, Operations) recommended some revised tactics, how-
ever, this involved the maneuvers of the F-106 prior to
System 20 detection range and will not degrade the test.
d.? Captain Barger, 27 Air Division, will be the
Weapons Director primarily responsible for controlling
the intercepts. He has a copy of the require-
ments an is responsible for briefing any other control-
lers involved in this test.
e. The 27th Air Division will record the target/
interceptor position data for use by Project Head-
quarters in evaluation of the exercise.
4. Recommendations:
a. Recommend (Edwards AFB, Operations)
brief the flight crews at Oxnard AFB on the primary
objectives of this exercise and also conduct the de-
briefing at the completion of each sortie as Major
Garvin will not be available.
b. Recommend that at Ed
d
war
s be
designated the primary pilot for the U-2 during this
exercise.

Director during this exercise.
