FEASIBILITY STUDY OF AN INERTIAL NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT TESTING FACILITY AT NADC, JOHNSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
Abstract
This feasibility study presents an investigation of the relative merits of three proposed sites for the location of an inertial navigation and guidance evaluation and development facilities building at NADEVCEN. The data includes: (1) Evaluation of the magnitudes and frequencies of both natural and artificially generated disturbances, shocks and vibrations present in the bed rock and the overlaying soil. (2) Soil testing and foundation report including foundation design recommendations, log of soil strata, and other pertinent data. (3) Comparative economic study of the three alternate sites. A cost estimate, along with plot plans, of the most desirable area has been prepared. Included are design recommendations and facility specifications for the building and its test areas. (Author)
