SUBJECT : Monitoring of Contract with
1. TIME AND PLACE OF MEETING: The meeting was held 14 November
1956 in Westout Building, Washington, D. C.
2. ATTENDANCE:
3. PURPOSE OF MEETING: To review existing projects, to discuss
proposals for an Infrared surveillance system and an Infrared narrow
beam communications system
4+. DISCUSSION:
a. P-1010 - IR Miniature Commo System (Task V)
returned the two prototypes C units in
working order, stating that one unit was not optically aligned
and the other had a cold solder joint in the amplifier switching
circuit. In future units the optical plate bracket will be
changed to prevent any misalignment problem as encountered in
the past.
It was suggested that mercury batteries not be used
in the C units, as most of these type batteries leak around
their rubber seal and cause corrosion of the surrounding com-
ponents.
The existing Task Order V expires 21 November 1956;
a request for time extension has been in the hands of Contracts
since 9 November 1956. In talking to of Contracts,
he assured us that the extension sho be processed on or
near 21 November 1956.
stated that the remainder of the C units
will be finished in Junt4 1957 and the paper work will be com-
pleted during February and March.

e. Proposal for Infrared Surveillance Transmitter E
deli proposal for the study,
gn, and development of prototype units to be used for infra-
red surveillance activities. It was decided that the contract
should be broken down into three phases:
PHASE 1 - Approximately 6 months for study of the
various problems involved
PHASE 2 - Approximately 6 months for the construction
of 4 engineering and design models
PHASE 3 - Approximately 6 months for the construction

things as:

The initial 6 months study phase is to
(1) Microphones
(2) Modulation and Amplifier
(3) Range
(4) Shape of Transmitter and Receiver
(5) Methods of aiming with regard to easy installation

f. Proposal for Narrow Band Communication System
was also asked to submit a proposal for
a
study of a practical limits of IR Commo system with regard
to security and range.
It was thought that a study of this problem would
require from 3 to 6 months at which time a final report would
be completed on the feasibility of the various narrow beam IR
communications system.
