Choosing Telescope System Mix.

Abstract

A method of choosing alternative mixes of instruments is presented. The mix of instruments is chosen based on total discounted cost for the life of the system. The optimum mix is chosen using linear programming techniques. The sample problem solved chooses the optimum mix of tracking telescopes for White Sands Missile Range. The information used for this analysis was collected in the summer of 1976. (Author)
