V1 w x c� H W SECTION 1 SUMMARY This document contains a proposal for a program that would develop a stabilized low light level viewing system for police helicopters from funds supplied by the City of Newport Beach, California and the Department of Justice Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAH). This proposal includes modification of one of the existing Newport Beach Police Depart- ment Hughes 300C helicopters (and an option for modifying the other), installation and checkout of the viewing system on this helicopter and support for an evaluation program conducted by the Newport Beach Police Department. The primary objective of the program is to develop a viewing system that provides nighttime surveillance capability. The Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System proposed herein consists of a stabilizing head mounted on the end of a tube protruding from the bottom of the observer cockpit as shown in Figure 1. The observer has a pointing control handle that he aims in the direction he wants to look. The pointing control handle, through a mechanical linkage, points the stabilizing head in the same direction as the control handle. The scene is stabilized in the head and then transmitted out and up the tube to the 5 inch low light level display screen located above the control handle in the observer's cockpit. The displayed scene has a field of view of up to 5 degrees and an apparent magnification of at least 5X when viewed from 12 inches. A pair of sealed beam searchlights mounted on the end of the tube opposite the stabilizing head can be pointed with the same mechanism. The lower end of the tube telescopes up to raise the stabilizing head and lights well above the helicopter floatation gear when the system is not in operation. Use or tlisclosore of Oropo sal data is suhject to the —1— restriction on the title page of this proposal. The stabilizing head contains a unique arrangement of optical and stabili- zing elements that isolate the incoming scene illumination from higher frequency angular motions and effectively remove the blurring effects of vibration. The system is designed to follow low frequency pointing command inputs with very small lags and overshoot. Smooth tracking of fixed or moving objects located within the angular coverage (from 30 degrees left to 100 degrees right and from 0 to 60 degrees down from the helicopter centerline) is available. Laboratory and field testing of a breadboard model of the stabilizing head has demonstrated the feasibility and per- formance of the concept employed. The image intensifying unit employed in the Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System permits observation of objects under background illumination conditions corresponding to less than quarter -moon on a clear night, or under most illumination conditions found in a city under any environmental conditions. The angular resolution of the system during nighttime operation exceeds that of the unaided eye and the operator will be able to detect and recognize small objects better at night than he can in daylight with his unaided eye. The telescoping tube of the Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System is installed at the location of the present searchlight installation in the Hughes 300C helicopter. Floor doublers and support braces are added to the underside of the helicopter structure for support. The tail rotor control tension tubes are replaced by a tension tube /bell crank arrange- ment that provides room for a larger diameter tube opening, but retains the present control feel and action. The added weight (- 60 pounds) of the viewing system is well within the weight and balance allowables derived from data applicable to the Newport Beach Police Department helicopters. Use of existing technology and components has minimized the development effort required to perfect the Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System. The key element, the stabilizing head, has been developed and tested as part of an in -house research project and the other system elements are straightforward applications of proven technology. The proposed program accomplishes the viewing system development, helicopter modification, and system installation and checkout in a twenty -six week period at Philco - Ford's Aeronutronic Division, located at Newport Beach, California. The proposal includes support for a three month evaluation by the Newport Beach Police Department and an agreement to make repairs of defective items over a twelve month period. Use or disdosure of proposal data is subject to the restriction on the title paye of this p.posal. —2— ii 1 1 1 1 1 SECTION 2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, INSTALLATION AND PERFORMANCE This section describes the Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing system and its installation onboard the Hughes 300C helicopter in detail. This section also describes operation of the system in typical situations, the effects of the system on helicopter weight and balance for several typical configurations and summarizes the predicted performance capabilities of the system. 2.1 SYSTEM OPERATION Operation of the Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System is very simple and requires essentially no special training. Once airborne, the operator lowers the stabilizing head and lights into the operating position with a crank located below the pointing control handle. He then aims the handle at the point he wishes to observe and shifts his vision to the low light level display screen to see the magnified stabilized scene. He may then track a given point in the scene by manipulating the pointing control handle to keep this point near the center of the screen. Alternately, he can move the stabilized scene to track moving objects or initiate a sur- f veillance search pattern. The crank is also used to raise the stabilizing head and lamps prior to landing. A warning light indicates when the system is not in the up, or stow, position. 1 The Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System employs an image intensi- fying unit that permits observation of objects under background illumination conditions corresponding to less than quarter -moon on a clear night, or 1 under most illumination conditions found in the city under any environ- mental conditions. A gain control knob allows the operator to adjust the i 1 -3- i A& intensifier gain to the optimum level for enhanced viewing over the varying illumination conditions found during night -time operation over the city. The system may also be used in daylight by inserting a filter over the stabilizing head aperture before take -off. The combination of image intensification and magnification afforded by the Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System enables the helicopter to be flown at higher altitudes during nighttime operation than would otherwise be possible. This will reduce the noise factor as related both to suspects and citizens, and at the same time provide increased surveil- lance capability during hours of darkness. 2.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System consists of four major parts; the stabilizing head and searchlight assembly, the telescoping tube assembly, the pointing control mechanism, and the low light level display unit. These equipments, as called out in Figure 1, are designed for installation in and below the co- pilot's /operator's cockpit station. Uze or disclosure of pro uosal data is subject to the —4— llltlictio,, ee the title page o( this proposal. The following paragraphs describe each of these major parts as they are presently configured. A breadboard model of the critical stabilizing head has been constructed, tested and the design shown is firm. The other elements have undergone a preliminary design that establishes feasi- bility of the concepts, but some details may change as the development program progresses. 2.2.1 STABILIZING HEAD AND SEARCHLIGHT ASSEMBLY The stabilizing head is a rectangular shaped box containing a two power telescope, a two axis inertially stabilized gimbal set, and a unique arrangement of optical elements. Referring to Figure 2, illumination from the scene being viewed enters the 2X telescope through a 3 -inch aperture objective lens, is folded, and then recollimated by the 2X telescope secondary lens, This collimated bundle is reflected off the two stabili- zing mirrors and then off a fixed mirror that directs the collimated bundle toward the side of the stabilizing head and into the telescoping tube assembly. 1 The first stabilizing mirror is attached to the outer gimbal structure surrounding the inertially stabilized platform. It has only one degree of freedom with respect to the stabilizing head structure (about the box 1 vertical). The second stabilizing mirror is attached to the platform and has two degrees of freedom with respect to the stabilizing head structure. The scene is stabilized in azimuth and elevation relative to the box, but not in roll, by these two mirrors. Uze or disclosure of pro uosal data is subject to the —4— llltlictio,, ee the title page o( this proposal. 1 I 1 0 x x x q W N a H w F a W a H O V rL W q r O Q W cz O x a H U z H N q H Zw WH q W N H a N M V z H F WV[r� I-7 w w a � q z � x m dw' w x � N � J du W -5- UN H O Oa W � m W W P4 r7 VV j .7 E E W X pm N O Use or disclosure of pronoszf data is snhiect to the restriction on the title page of this nroposa i. ¢ W x z H N a H W E N W H W The stabilized platform consists of two weights attached to a lightweight structure which also holds the second stabilizing mirror and the gimbal bearings. This mechanical arrangement maximizes the platform inertia for a given mass and hence optimizes stabilization capabilities. Light springs (not shown) tend to center the platform and a dash pot (not shown) damps out oscillations and helps the platform to track smoothly. Two searchlights identical to those presently installed on the helicopter are mounted on a pivot on the opposite side of the telescoping tube from the stabilizing head. They are trained in azimuth and elevation parallel to the viewing system optical axis to retain the illumination capability of the present police helicopter configuration. 2.2.2 TELESCOPING TUBE ASSEMBLY The telescoping tube assembly is essentially a long tube with elbows on each end that contain the optical elements connecting the stabilizing head assembly to the low light level display unit. The tube telescopes to allow raising the lower elements for stowage. Referring to Figure 3, the stabilized scene emitting from the side of the stabilizing head enters the objective of a three - quarter power telescope, is folded upward in the lower elbow and passes through the secondary lens of this telescope and on up the tube. Near the top of the tube it passes through ' a derotation prism and through a lens which focuses the scene, after it is folded to the proper location, on the low light level display unit input face. The tube assembly is mated to the stabilizing head through a bearing that permits rotation of the box around its output optical axis for pointing in elevation. The lower section of the tube has a degree of freedom with respect to the upper section below the derotation prism that permits pointing in azimuth. Both pointing angles are generated by the mechanism described in the next section. The derotating prism is rotated by a differential gear and a mechanical linkage working off the pointing control mechanism at one -half of the sum of the elevation and azimuth pointing angles to remove the artificial scene rotations introduced by this pointing concept. The lower end of the tube, up to the 3/4X telescope secondary objective lens, telescopes into the upper tube section for stowage. A crank located on the tube exterior is coupled by a mechanism linkage to a pinion gear that engages a rack in the side of the telescoping section of the tube (not shown). Turning the crank will thus either raise or lower the tube to the desired position. A warning light located on the upper section of the tube is illuminated whenever the tube is not fully retracted as a safety precaution.

TELESCOPING TUBE CONFIGURATION. Use or dixlosure of proposal data is subject to the —7— restriction on the title page of this proposal. 2.2.3 POINTING CONTROL MECHANISM The pointing control mechanism consists of a pointing control handle that has the same two degrees of freedom as the stabilizing head and search- lights and several mechanical linkages that slave these elements to point along the control handle orientation. The control handle is essentially a rod shaped for convenient gripping that is movable in azimuth and ele- vation with respect to the helicopter. The operator grips this handle and aligns it in the desired viewing direction. A one -to -one turning arrangement rotates the lower end of the telescoping tube at the same azimuth angle as the handle is pointing and a flexible push -pull coupling rotates the stabilizing head and searchlights to the same elevation angle. The springs and dashpots inside the stabilizing head cause the inertial platform (and hence the stabilized scene), to follow. These control handle motions are also transferred to gears driving the mechanical dif- ferential used for driving the derotation prism. These elements are all shown in the viewing system outboard profile, Figure 4. 2.2.5 LOW LIGHT LEVEL DISPLAY UNIT The low light level display unit consists of three fibre optically coupled stages of image intensifiers, the last of which also enlarges the stabilized scene. The combined effect of this unit is a magnification of the image ' focussed on the input by a factor of five (from 1 inch to 5 inches) and a light intensification gain of well over one thousand. The displayed image has a green tint due to the modified P -20 phosphor used in the magnifying tube. ' During the evaluation test program the configuration of the low light level display unit objective lens and coupling to the first stage of image ' intensification, both part of the telescoping tube assembly, can be changed on the ground to provide displayed fields of view ranging from 2.5 to 5.0 degrees. ' The light intensification gain can be varied inflight by means of a control knob to optimize the displayed scene over a wide range of light levels. The display unit contains a protection circuit that automatically ' reduces the gain to prevent permanent damage, from extremely bright lights, such as searchlights or automobile headlamps pointed directed along the incoming sightline, or other high intensity illuminating sources in the system's field of view. 2.3 HELICOPTER INSTALLATION ' This section discusses the installation in the helicopter in terms of the viewing system structure, viewing system pointing control, tail rotor control modifications, changes to the helicopter structure to permit rapid interchange of the viewing system from vehicle to vehicle, and the weight of the system and its effect on weight and balance.

This tube goes through the floor, as shown in Figure 5, and is supported there by a collar and floor doubler for added necessary strength. Further support 1 and lower end stability is provided by four steel braces to the helicopter structure. In Figure 5 it can be seen two of the braces go diagonally down and rearward to tie into the transverse structural beam on which are mounted the floats and skids. Two other braces go diagonally up and 1 rearward to the floor where they are attached with doublers. These four braces form a rigid pyramid which will help carry the weight and prevent lateral and fore and aft motion. CInside the basic support tube is the intermediate tube, 4.75 inches in 1 1 use or disclosure of proposal data is subject to the -10— restriction on the title page of this proposal. 1 diameter with 0.25 inch wall thickness, made of aluminum. This tube is 1 free to rotate inside the support tube and provides the necessary azimuthal motion for the viewing system. Azimuth control is discussed later. A pinion gear is mounted at the bottom of the intermediate tube to drive the extension /retraction motion of the center tube. An aluminun center tube, 4.25 inches outside diameter with 3/16 inch wall thickness mounts the stabilized sight head and also carries internally the folded relay telescope. Inset longitudinally on the outer surface 1 of the center tube is a gear rack which is driven by the pinion on the bottom of the intermediate tube to extend and retract the stabilized sight head. The pinion is driven by a flexible drive shaft attached to 1 a crank at the top of the support tube. A key locks the center and inter- mediate tubes together rotationally, but permits the telescoping of the center tube. The center tube is retracted for landing, and when on a level surface the bottom of the stabilized head optics box is approximately 6.2 inches above ground level. Whe in flight and the center tube is extended, the bottom 1 of the box is 6.25 inches below the bottom of the floats and the optical centerline is 4.25 inches below the bottom of the floats. On the opposite side of the center tube, toward the middle of the helicopter, provision is made for mounting the illuminating searchlights of the present instal- lation. When extended, the centerline of the lights is 1.75 inches below the bottom of the floats and parallel to the sight optical centerline. Full retraction of the center tube is sensed by a micro switch at the bottom of the intermediate tube and indicated on a light. On top of the support tube is the optics folding assembly, which contains 1 the display unit objective lens followed by two mirrors. These fold the optical centerline away from the observer and then back toward him in 1 1 use or disclosure of proposal data is subject to the -10— restriction on the title page of this proposal. 1 W W H Iz-1 Z 5 U LO PA.1 f I ��t a , O U U a / w O H W O H W z 66> LO PA.1 f I ��t a , O U a / O H W W H W z L__J -11- 31 H r✓ Q H O dH 6 H z H on U z H .W1 H w Ez O a w Use or dietlosure of proposal data is subject to the restriction on the title page of thou proposal. order to place the display screen at a good location for viewing. The display unit itself screws into the folding unit, providing plus and minus one -half inch of fine focus capability. By replacing the display unit objective lens with others of different focal length the field of view of the system can be changed. Provisions are made for interchanging three separate folding units to evaluate three fields of view during the flight demonstration program. 2.3.2 VIEWING SYSTEM POINTING CONTROL ' Use of disclosure of proposal data is subject to the —12— restriction on the title page of this proposal. Pointing control of the viewing system is attained by a control handle installed approximately above and between the observer's knees. The axis of the control handle is parallel to the viewing system optical axis so C the observer, and the pilot, can tell immediately in what direction the sightline is pointing. 1 A mounting beam atop the optics folding unit positions the handle. For azimuth control the handle swings about a center approximately 3 inches aft of the outside of the support tube. A torque tube carries this motion down toward the floor of the helicopter to the axis of a repeater pulley which has the same minor diameter as the intermediate tube. A flat steel band is pinned to the repeater pulley at one point, goes through a hole in the support tube, around the intermediate tube to which it is pinned r at one point, out through another hole and back to the pin on the repeater pulley. Swinging the control handle turns the repeater pulley. This motion is transmitted to the intermediate tube on a one -to -one basis since the pulley minor diameter is the same as the intermediate tube outer diameter. The control handle tips about a pivot on the torque tube and, carrying with it a yoke to which is attached a Bowden cable. This is a wire carried within a flexible conduit. The wire acts as a push -pull actuator, being restrained from buckling in compression by the outer conduit. Since the cable is flexible over long distances, linear motions can be transmitted around corners without gears and shafts. The Bowden cable attached to the yoke is fed down the support tube through a hole in the floor to a yoke on the stabilized sight head box. The yokes are designed so that I elevation motion of the handle is transmitted one -to -one to the box. 2.3.3 TAIL ROTOR CONTROL MODIFICATION In the present installation the tension tubes controlling the tail rotor lie on both sides of the light mounting tube. There is approximately 2.5 inches clearance between the tension tubes, insufficient for the viewing system support tube. It is, therefore, necessary to modify the tail rotor pitch actuation control system. ' Use of disclosure of proposal data is subject to the —12— restriction on the title page of this proposal. I i In Figure 6 there is a view of the modified control system from below. A short tube is connected to each of the present rotor control pedals at the same location as at present. Considering one side, the short tube is attached to the long arm of an unequal arm length bell crank, transmitting pedal motion sideways from the original direction of action. Connected to the short arm of the bell crank is a longer tension tube to pass the area where the viewing system support tube is installed. The other end of this tube is connected to the short arm of a bell crank identical to the first. The long arm has a tension tube attached which goes directly to a crank arm on the rotor control cable pulley. The motion of the control pedal is, therefore, transmitted to the pulley through these 1 auxiliary cranks and rods in a fashion which duplicates the pedal to pulley action of the present installation. The same control "feel" and action will be present and there will be no difference in pilot control action. i The bell cranks to be added will be attached to a bosses which in turn are 1 mounted to the doubler installed for strengthening the floor around the support tube mounting collar. 2.3.4 HELICOPTER MODIFICATIONS This section summarizes those portions of the preceeding sections dealing with helicopter modification. a. At the location of the present searchlight installation, the support tube mounting collar floor strengthening doubler is installed. The collar itself will be part of the support tube. A cover plate will be provided when the viewing system is not installed, and the present searchlight unit may be reinstalled with an adapter to mate the doubler to the present spherical bearing mount. b. Four tail rotor control cranks are attached under the floor to the strengthening doubler. The tension rods are replaced by rods appropriate to the new cranks. ' C. Two brace bolting tabs are clamped to the transverse beam to which the skids and floats are attached. Two other brace bolting tabs are attached (probably riveted) under the floor, next to the transverse channel supporting the floor.

The floor doubler will remain to provide strength lost by cutting the larger hole in the floor for the support tube. Brace bolting tabs on the transverse beam will be unclamped, but those riveted to the floor channel will remain to retain the structural integrity of that channel. 2.3.5 HELICOPTER WEIGHT AND BALANCE 2.3.5.1 BASIC DATA To establish the allowable installation weight of the viewing system and its effect on helicopter center of gravity, References 1 and 2 were obtained from Talmantz Aviation, along with current Weight and Balance Reports and Basic Weight and Balance Records maintained by Talmantz Aviation for both helicopters of the Newport Beach Police Department, Weight and balance for both machines were computed for all conditions considered in this analysis. The differences in numerical results of the computation are so small as to be negligible and had no effect on conclusions drawn. Results will, therefore, be shown for only one machine, N9626F. For balance calculations the measurement reference system of Reference 1 and 2 is used. The longitudinal reference datum line is arbitrarily taken as 100 inches forward of the main rotor; i.e., the main rotor is at station X = 100, and is marked so on the helicopter frame. The lateral datum is the longitudinal axis of the helicopter, through the main rotor. Distances (Y) to the right are positive and those to the left are negative. The center of gravity must fall within the trapezoid formed by the following stations, also shown graphically in Figure 7. Longitudinal Station Lateral Station (Inches) (Inches) 95 +2.25, -1.0 100 +3.33, -2.25 Allowable maximum gross weight is 1900 lbs.

For example, with the pilot, observer, litter patient, fuel and ballast the helicopter weighs 1989 lbs. and is overweight. Removing ballast still leaves the helicopter too heavy. If the litter is occupied, without the observer, the helicopter is within weight limits but the ballast must be stowed in the ballast bag on the left float, station -32.7, to keep the c.g. from being too far to the right. -17- 2.3.5.2 TYPICAL CURRENT OPERATION Two conditions of helicopter loading will be presented as typical of expected operating conditions. Based on these conditions, the weight capacity which can be allocated to the viewing system will be determined and its effect on c.g. calculated. a. The most common operation will be with a pilot and observer on- board, with litter ballast stowed on the center seat. Conditions of full and empty fuel tanks will be considered. In each follow- ing table weight is in pounds, locations in inches, and moments in inch - pounds. Table II shows the results with a full fuel load.

Low Light Level Display Unit 11 Mounting Tubes 28 Bracing Tubes 1.5 Folding Mirror Assembly 3 Lenses 3 Batteries 1 Rudder Cranks and Doubler 5 Miscellaneous 5 Total 69.5 -22- i i Not all of this weight is an increment to be added to the helicopter, however, since some of the existing searchlight system will be removed. Based on estimated volume of material in the tubes of the present installa- tion, the weight to be removed is 11.2 lbs, leaving a net increase to rotorcraft weight of 58.3 lbs. This is approximately 20 lbs below the maximum allowable increment of 78.5 lbs determined previously. If the weight is rounded off to 60 lbs, allowing some room for estimating error, the weight and balance of the helicopter is illustrated in Table VIII.

In addition, the stabilized scene will have an apparent magnification to the operator. What this means in practice is that the operator will be able to detect and recognize small objects better at night than he could in the daylight with his unaided eye and will permit surveillance flights to take place at higher altitudes. This is in contrast to the present situation where the human eye resolution capabilities degrade rapidly with lower illumina- tion levels. The key elements that provide this increased viewing capability are the stabilizing head and the low light level display unit. The stabilizing head has been designed to follow low frequency angular inputs and at the same time attenuate the dominant angular vibrational inputs from the heli- copter by a factor of 15 or more. The latter is sufficient to isolate the scene from the higher frequencies inputs to better than 0.15 milli - radians rms and to effectively remove the blurring effects of vibration 1 under normal usage. The stabilized scene follows the pointing control handle inputs with a bandwidth of about 1.5 hertz, which is sufficient for smooth tracking of fixed or moving objects. Laboratory and field testing of the breadboard model of the stabilizing head has resulted in quantified data that verified the performance capability described above. The low light level display unit provides an effective light amplification of several thousand to the operator with an angular resolution capability of better than 0.12 milliradians and an apparent magnification of 5X (50 field of view) to lOX (2.50 field of view) when the five inch screen is viewed from 12 inches. Rooftop tests conducted with similar image intensification systems have shown that this light amplification capa- bility is normally sufficient for viewing dimly or unlit areas, even when streetlights or automobile headlamps are present in the displayed scene. It is interesting to note that these tests also showed it is possible to look at brightly lit areas by reducing the tube gains, and except when an automobile headlight was directly pointed at the intensifier (which would rarely happen to an airborne sensor), bright lights did not hamper viewing capability. The image intensifier approach chosen affords better low light level performance than can be achieved with closed circuit low light level TV systems. I I 3 -24- I I I I I I I I i I I The viewing system is constructed in a manner which permits the field of view displayed to be changed from 2.5 degrees to 5 degrees for evaluation purposes. The apparent magnification will vary from 1OX to 5X with these changes. The intent is to gather data and experience which will lead to a final configuration based on the optimum trade -off between field of view and apparent magnification. The range of 2.5 to 5 degrees was selected because acquisition of a given point becomes difficult for fields of view less than about 2.5 degrees and fields larger than 5 degrees would not provide sufficient magnification when displayed on a 5" screen. The pointing control mechanism enables angular coverage of nearly the full lower right eighth of sphere (relative to the helicopter) plus 30 degrees in azimuth of the lower left eighth of a sphere. In quantita- tive terms, the angular coverage is from 30 degrees left of the helicopter centerline to 100 degrees right and from horizontal to sixty degrees down. This angular coverage is sufficient for the helicopter to orbit around a given point, to follow moving vehicles or to conduct surveillance patterns along streets, buildings, etc. -25- THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK -26- SECTION 3 PROGRAM PLAN 1 The use of existing technology and of components has been the primary consid- eration in the development of the Philco -Ford Police Helicopter Viewing System Program Plan. Repackaging of a simplified viewing system which has already been developed as part of a Philco -Ford in -house research project is the key element in accomplishing this program within the proposed cost and schedule constraints. Philco -Ford believes the technical risks asso- ciated with the development of the viewing system are low since the key ' element in the system has been fabricated in -house in similar form and has performed well under simulated tests. 3.1 PLAN OF ACCOMPLISHMENT Figure 8 is the Master Schedule and shows the implementation plan to modify one helicopter and install and demonstrate one viewing system. The initial three -week preliminary design effort will consist of complet- ing layouts for the mechanical and optical designs together with a system analysis to insure that the design will satisfy specification requirements. and will be compatible with the helicopter interface. A design review will be held at the conclusion of the preliminary design effort wherein the engineers will present their design and performance analyses to a review team composed of technical management and the program manager. Successful completion of the design review will signal the release of purchase orders for all long lead items, the initiation of detail design, and the preparation of the FAA Certification application. A second heli- copter could be modified if desired and optional costs for same are included in the Cost Section. -27- 0 Z 0 9 pa b O M O c� ¢ V y 3 WG z � z o � Z y O pN M s KZ 2 o O y UM S �yQj y MM MN PtLy 'rf UV o %E Wy Oy m y yC N W � M M H FK Z acs N 6W V 2 E O y� r,] y Z F O m N a r+ y a¢Z u3i N W F %a M m p ........ pm Wr > G. y F W % o F N 6 £ ..................... ............................... p0. ........... `p1.

Pre- liminary contacts with potential suppliers during the preparation of the proposal indicates that the optics and display tube will be the major long lead items with procurement running from eight to ten weeks after placement of order. Coordination with suppliers will continue during preliminary design to insure that the suppliers understand our technical requirements and to formulate opinions on the technical and performance capabilities of the competing suppliers. All long lead purchase orders should be placed by the end of the fourth week. All purchased parts should be delivered, inspected, and in stock by the end of the 14th week. Detail design of the viewing system and the helicopter modification will begin after completion of the preliminary design review. Since the modi- fication design will be dependent on the configuration of the viewing system, it will lag the viewing system by about two weeks. By the end of the eighth week, the detail design will have progressed to the point where drawing release can be initiated. At this point, the second design review will be conducted. This review has two objectives. As in the pre- liminary design review, management will be reviewing the design for its technical adequacy in satisfying the specification requirements. Secondly, manufacturing personnel will be given an overview of their job. On com- pletion of this design review, purchase orders will be let on the balance of buy items, and manufacturing of in -house make items will begin. All drawings necessary for fabricating parts will have been completed by the end of the 13th week. ' Engineering personnel will begin assembling the viewing system during the 17th week. Six weeks have been scheduled for the assembly, integra- tion, and checkout of the system. During this period, the helicopter modification kit will be completed and checked against the system and helicopter to insure a minimum of problems during actual helicopter modi- fication. Modification of the helicopter, together with installation and checkout of the sighting system will be completed by the end of the 26th ' week. A three -month evaluation period by the Newport Beach Police Department will be supported by Philco -Ford personnel. 3.2 FAA CERTIFICATION In order to fly the helicopter with the viewing system installed, it will be necessary to obtain approval of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In addition to the legal necessity for this action, approval of this agency will assure the city that the modification has been accomplished in a safe and sound manner. When the preliminary design of the helicopter modification and viewing system is finished, work will begin onthe analyses necessary to support -29- I I Ian application for a Experimental Type Certificate. This will consist of analyses of structural and tail rotor control linkage modifications, system functional discussions to verify there are no effects on instru- mentation, and analysis of communications and electrical power require- ments to the degree that the FAA or Philco -Ford may deem necessary to demonstrate safety of flight. The application will be submitted at the end of the third month of the program. Close liaison with the FAA will be maintained during their study of the application. In addition, our interface coordinator will monitor design, component fabrication, modification of both helicopters, and subsequent installation of the viewing system.
