C. PROPOSED PROGRAM APPROACH

1. Guidelines and Assumptions: It is the intent of CHO to offe

a complete program, one which will 4 equire a minimum amount of super -

vision and coordination from Central Engineering (CE) perscnnel but yet offer

the greatest gain. The proposed scope of work is therefore divided into several

areas of endeavor which epresents milestones of progress. At the conclusion

of each work phase, meetings will be held between CHO and CE to review

progress and ensure agreement on future work plans. CHO would be respon-

ible for all phases of the program from the initial study effort through model

design, model fabrication, test conduct and final report formulation. Tunnel

arrangements and any subcontracting would also be the responsibility of CHO.

2. Definition Study: In order to insure that the most information

will be gained from thi program, it is preposed that initially several studies be

n onducted. First, many dollars can be saved in wind tunnel testing through a

thorough search of literature to determine the present state-of-the-art. CHO

has access to Redstone c n O ientific Information Center (RSIC), one of the largest

technical libraries to be found in this country. Through it, access can be gaine

to Defense Documentation Center (DDC), Scientific Technical Abstract Review

(STAR) and other large governmental agencies which specialize in scientific

information services. Computer searches will be performed to obtain D C rtment

information these agencies have on this subject covering the past five years. In

addition, all automotive trade journals and publications will be scrutinized for
