"Progress is divided into 4 sections covering the following divisions of effort: (1) Advanced Control System Circuit Development, (Test Vehicle No. 2), (2) Circuit Reliability Studies, (3) Digital Control System Circuit Development, and (4) Hot Gas Servo Studies. On Test Vehicle No. 2, the development, testing and present status of the signal processing and power supply circuitry for use in connection with the MIG gyros is described. Also, the results of environmental and life testing of the printed circuit timer- programmer and the status of the welded circuit time-programmer are presented. Under circuit reliability studies, some preliminary results of a study of the application of redundancy to both digital and analog circuits and work on circuit failure analysis using component failure rate data is described. The development of digital control system circuitry is described, specifically that circuitry applicable to a digital autopilot system and certain circuitry developed for use with advanced programmers and function generators. The work in the hot gas servo area consisted of the preparation of test plans and the performance of testing on General Electric's hot gas servo."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . "The report is divided into three sections, covering the achievements of the following divisions of study and effort: advanced circuit studies, missile attitude sensors studies, and power servos studies. In the field of advanced circuit studies, packaging evaluation and redesign were under taken as a continuation to a-c servo channel development, a single-ended switching type power demodulator was developed and indicated satisfactory performance in laboratory evaluation, effort was continued on the design of a d-c servo amplifier, magnetic amplifier circuitry investigations were furthered, preliminary designs were made for modularized three-phase static inverters and a four-ounce static inverter was designed, and four configurations of converter-regulators were completed. In the field of missile attitude sensors, work was performed to support the present weapon systems, new gyros were evaluated, and test equipment was built and purchased for advanced weapon system analysis and proposal evaluation. Power servos studies made progress in establishing laboratory facilities and devising testing techniques; a major portion of the test equipment listed in Project Plan 165-35 was purchased or ordered, and certain work was begun on evaluation and improvement of power servos.

The section on advanced circuit studies describes the development and testing of circuitry suitable for an advanced high performance control system (Test Vehicle No. 2), the development of techniques for increasing circuit reliability and the application of advanced semiconductor devices to control system circuitry. The control sensor studies consist of an evaluation of the performance of a wide angle MIG gyro. In addition, the measurement of the characteristics of a special model of this gyro incorporating a spin motor rotation detector (SMRD) is described. Power servo studies consisted of an evaluation of a hot gas servo actuator under simulated load conditions. (Author)."@en . . . . . . . . "Control systems." . . "Scheduling." . .
