SUBJECT : Replacement Equipment for Mobile Units / V 77;1 t
REFERENCE: Minutes of Equipment Board Meeting of 8 May 1963
1. At the referenced meeting, the Board directed 0C-P to consult with
Operations, Engineering and Telecom representatives to "Perform an Operations-
Engineering study to determine the preferred replacement equipment for our
diminishing mobile units."
2. This study has now been carried out and has resulted in three speci-
fic proposals which, for the moment, are being called Package Number One,
Package Humber TWo, and Package Number Three. Details of each proposal are
contained in booklets which have been prepared for distribution to Board
,aembers.
In approaching this study a review was made of past use of our
naekaged and mobile equipment and some twenty-five OC personnel were inter-
vieved to determine their views or the direction in which we ought to go in
the future. The resulting materiel was analyzed and reduced to three propo-
sals which were than discussed with a number of the people originally inter-
viewed. As a result of this some changes were made and three final proposals
emerged. It is these which are now being placed before the Board for
discussion.
4? There was a surprising unanimity of opinion about certain aspects
of our mobile gear. The points on which there is general agreement are;
a. We ought to get away from prime movers and large, cumbersome,
hard to transport vans.
b. We need RTZY and medium speed capability as old equipment pro-
vides little or none of these.,
e. In many operating circumstances packaged equipment will serve
our needs better than anything else.
d. In some cases we neea to have our equipment housed in a van in
order to pravide a controlled operating environment under adverse
conditions. A modernized 2-ST/VCe1)
e. Any van used must be relatively small, light in weight, easy
to transport by a variety of means.
f. We must consider contingency situations as well as wartime
situations because many of our requirements (and we hope all of them!)
will be of this type.
g. We ought to confine ourselves to standeced'items of equipment
to the maxima% extent possible.

h. Ifi&should try to meet the Mobile/package problem in such a way
that the equipment items involved will stay in regular stock as much as
possible and in any case will not be cut off from normal maintenance,
rotation, and upgrading.
5. The proposals being made were drawn up with the above points in mind.
Ab decisions about procurement are being sought now; our objective at this
time is simply to place these proposals before the Board for general discussion.
Funds have been programmed in PY-1965 but it is impossible to predict whether
this item will survive. Therefore this can be considered as :the first phase
of the replacement program.
