Dear Dan:
This is a proposal for the development and fabrication of Airborne
Electronic System 6 designed to record data concerning signal activity
in the frequency range from 50 mc to 14000 mc. The System has been
designed for immediate operational effectiveness and high reliability by
using as its major functional components either equipment already de-
veloped by us for other systems, customer supplied equipment or oper-
ational equipment returned to us by the customer.
The basic design of the System was agreed upon during the Suppliers'
Meeting held at the contractor's plant on 12 December 1957. On this date
the Project Director instructed us to proceed with the development and
fabrication of five Systems and their associated support equipment and to
initiate procurement of long lead-time items for three additional Systems.
The attached Technical Proposal (CMCC Doc. No. 1133x5.61) describes
the configuration of System 6 as it existed on 27 February 1958. On 3 March
1958 we were asked by customer representatives to add a backward looking
X-band antenna pair for pilot monitoring and to develop a new P-band
antenna design. Effective 14 March 1958 we were directed to suspend pro-
curement for three Systems and to use any material purchased prior to
that time as spare parts for the remaining five Systems. The attached
Statement of Work, Delivery Schedule and Cost Estimate are based on the
System as described in the Technical Proposal plus these later customer
requests.
Of the five Systems being produced, one has been delivered and another
is presently being flight tested. The remaining three Systems will be de-
livered prior to 30 April 1958.
All of the final assembly of the System on hatch covers and in other
regions of the airplane is being done in the field. For this reason a sub-
stantial field engineering team will be required, and the costs shown for
field liaison and vehicle installation reflect this fact.
Instruction guides will be delivered with each System and the Processor's
Performance Data Manuals will be delivered 15 May 1958.

?We are planning to supply two sets of Fly Away Kits, one set
of Depot Spares and two sets of Special Lists of Equipment. All
these lists have been approved by the Depot Supply Officer and are
shown as exhibits to the attached Cost Estimate.
We are not planning to provide a separate System 6 test set as
such. As this System is identical in many respects to System 4,
and will be located at the same operational sites, we recommend
that as much System 4 test equipment as possible be used with
System 6. Attached as a separate exhibit is a list of System 4 test
equipment which can be used on both Systems. The additional
test equipment needed specifically for System 6 is contained in the
System 6 Special List of Equipment.
