INSTRUMENT OPERATIONS ON SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RANGES

Abstract

The Systems Development Department is responsible for conducting development and test programs for the Bureau of Weapons, its agencies and contractors. One of the primary program requirements is the gathering of complete and accurate data to meet complex and stringent specifications. This information is compiled from photographic and electronic records. The Instrument Operations Division provides and operates the major portion of the Department's facilities that produce these records. To accomplish the various tasks which comprise this job, the Instrument Operations Division is organized into five branches, each responsible for a specific segment of overall instrument operations. These branches include the Photographic Laboratory Branch, the Optical Instrumentation Branch, the Timing and Telemetry Branch, the Metric Electronics Branch, and the Atmospheric Studies Branch. The branch names imply the various aspects of the Division mission that they handle.
