A freeze here would greatly reduce the search for
new techniques and systems needed for future capabilities.
Thus limited, large and less diversified tasks would be
necessary (thus buying more contractor mangement) and
fewer engineering man-hours would be available for each
task (result: reduced quality). in the area of "black
boxes" the number of targets would have to be reduced
in tailoring the development program. Improvements in
thel system capability will be delayed and
costs would increase because a larger number of idea
evaluationswould have to be turned over to the contractor.
In the area of Target Detection and Identification, the
flexibility and efficiency needed to conduct research for
these as-yet-unproven techniques will be lost. Instead
of searching in-house with several small tasks but numerous
idea-sources, the project would have to be contracted in one
or two areas.. This brings up the necessity of guarding
