10. OSA will use contract flight crews and contract
maintenance support for the operational phase.
11. The first OSA flight crew will participate in the
"proof of concept" flight tests.

operational sites overseas.
b. Initial operational capability
will be one aircraft.

support structure, we should seek maximum support from the
Navy to support the test phases.
