to shore. Since this system will be operated strictly on a ship of 

 opportvinity basis, ease of operation, reliability, and ability to 

 record data at speeds of 12 to 15 knots are overriding requirements. 

 Approxinnately 36 of these systems, mainly for installatidn aboard 

 HUK group destroyers and appropriate commercial vessels, will 

 be required for the ASWEPS program. Although experiments in 

 this field will be accelerated, it is not anticipated that this system 

 will be contracted for in its entirety until the synoptic system is 

 well underway.
