Abstract:

This report covers the development and implementation of special concepts, techniques and instrumentation for the collection, analysis and application of geokinetic data. The Geokinetic Data Acquisition System GDAS was modified, maintained and operationally deployed to various sites designated by AFGL. Tests were conducted at the Defense Nuclear Agency DNA CASINO Facility in Maryland Central Inertial Guidance Test Facility CIGTF, Holloman AFB, N.M. Space Transportation System STS Launch Complex, Vandenberg AFB, CA. and the SAC Wing V Minuteman Complex at Cheyenne, Wy. The CASINO data contributed to SAMSOs MXTGG Advanced Development Bridge II Program for radiation hardening of third generation hardware. The CIGTF investigation supported USAF requirements for highly precise azimuth reference. The Hill AFB the performance of a minuteman III missile guidance system in an engineering silo. The STS program at Vandenberg AFB was to assist in determining the nature of a Titan III-D pressure load. The SAC Wing V deployment was to investigate plateauvalley basin geologic characteristics in respect to motion response.
