1. Plan Realization
In terms of value, the plan realization of the total 1961 pro-
duction is only 56 percent. The export plan was realized by
90 per cent.
2. Personnel Policy
Since February 1962, soldiers of all services (including-'the
People's Navy) have been observed at VEB Funkwerk Ktipenick
(FWK). Because of constantly decreasing production, the
development capacity is to be reduced. Development engineers
thus released are to assist in technological preparation work.
As it is no longer possible for the individual to change
his place of work freely; he is subjected to greater pres-
sure. Requests for separations must be cleared by the Cadre
Section (Kader.l_e_i..t.ung) and are in all cases disadvantageous
to the person giving notice.
3. 1962 Ship-borne Radar Development Plan
For the sake of greater economy in production, the follow-
ing development tasks were integrated: Type-series KSA-6:
development of printed circuitry in subassemblies - KSA-6,10
Type-series KSA-5: development of printed circuitry in
subassemblies; antenna of the slotted waveguide-type - KSA-5.1
KSchlitzante.xuae).

Old type-series: KSA-3 consisting of..5 units;
KSA-5 consisting of 3 units;
KSA-6 consisting of 5 units with directional
transformer (Orientierungswandler),
Total: 13 units which cannot be combined op-
tionally for making variants.
After realization of the new type-program there will be only 6
units. It will be possible to combine these units according to
requirements, so that, considering all types of electrical cur-
rent on board ship, some 35 different ship-borne radar systems
can be set up.
Furthermore, a number of assemblies are being standardized, e.g.
IF amplifiers in printed circuits, low-voltage power supply, high-
voltage power supply, and relay units (Relaisaufbau).
The tube section of monitor screen (Sichtgerfft) and integration
amplifiers is to be produced in printed circuits.
4. KSA-5 Radar
From November 1961 to late February 1962, 50 KSA-5 ship-borne
radars were to be delivered to various East German shipyards.
It is not yet known to what extent these deliveries have been
made.
Technical data of KSA-5:
2? horizontal beaming
20? vertical beaming
9,375 me frequency
magnetron 2 142 transmitter tube
7...12 kW pulse power
Receiver: reflex clystron 723 A/B oscillator tube
Monitor screen: measuring ranges up to 12 n.m.

By the end of March 1962, 45 NSA-5 radars were to b~ tested. in
order to assist in the testing, almost the entire development dep
