refine hardware modeling, evaluate closed loop response, investigate transient conditions (start up, eclipse), review and incorporate ground test results in models. b. Circuit Development - Define circuit hardware, breadboard and test in discrete components; design for microwave integrated circuits, breadboard and test. 13.5 SCHEDULE AND COST The project schedule is shown in Figure 13-10. The testing system is complete through Phase III in six years from go-ahead, with each phase design and installation taking two years. The critical technology development is presumed to start concurrently and is planned to have achieved a technical maturity with acceptable risk at each of the Critical Design Review (CDR) milestones sufficient i to warrant release of major procurement items for each phase. Delays in the technology program will stretch out the ground testing proportionally. The rough order of magnitude (ROM) costs expressed in 1975 dollars are given below. The cost of the ground test portion includes funds for development and production of the rectenna array, including diode elements for accommodating the lower power densities appropriate for the MPTS.
