et la Patrouille de VEcole de VAir sur Magister.
Le 15 et 16 juin les versions IIIC, MB et MR
du Mirage decolleront du Bourget et une
vingtaine de Mirage III de la base de Creil
presenteront les charges emportees par cette
avion, la mise en oeuvre de la fusee d'appointe
et des passages en patrouille.
Dans le grand Hall, I'Armee de I'Air tient
un stand publicitaire d'un interet particulier

G P I , the principal operating subsidiary
of General Precision Equipment Corporation,
displays a variety of advanced aerospace
navigation, guidance and control systems,
components and related items. Included is a
new lightweight K-band Doppler, the A N /
APN-153, claimed to have an accuracy equal
to systems ten times its weight. This equipment
has been chosen by the US Navy for its P-3A
Orion and S-2D Tracker, the A-6A Intruder
and the E-2A Hawkeye.
In addition, the AN/ASN(25) navigation
computer, which provides automatic steering
signals to the autopilot, is on dsiplay. Designed
for use on air tankers, mapping and reconnaissance aircraft and transports, this reads out
continuously desired track, nautical miles to
go, and nautical miles off track.
Also shown is a new all-attitude reference
system, the C523 V A R S . Used in F-104J
intecepters, it supplies 22 individual outputs
providing data for autopilot, radar, data
links, heading indicator, optical gunsight,
failure warning, navigation
components,
Tacan, air-data computer, and
fire-control
system. Also exhibited is a model of the latest
aircraft simulator featuring digital computation. General Precision simulators have
recently been chosen for the Apollo manned
spacecraft, and the F-4C and C-141 aircraft.
At Paris, too, is a new lightweight generalpurpose digital navigation computer system—
the AN/ASN-24(V)—now being produced
for the C-141 jet transports. Finally there is a
general-purpose digital aerospace computer—
the L-90.

On display is the guidance receiver used in
the Seaslug Mk 2 ship-to-air missile. This
equipment, which has been developed and
manufactured by the company, is being
publicly shown for the first time. Emphasis
on the extreme degree of reliability essential
to this type of equipment is shown by the use
of wrapped joints for circuit interconnections
in the Mk 2 receiver.
The company is one of the small number of
British firms concerned in the development of
the C.F.299 small-ship weapon system, and
their display features the early trials equipment
used in the initial firings of Seaslug and the
now-operational equipment used in Seaslug
Mk 1. They also specialize in the development
of the associated fully automatic test equipment for missile systems. For Seaslug Mk 2
they are co-ordinating authority for the whole
of the service missile test equipment. Other
exhibits include a selection of sub-units of the
Mk 1 guidance receiver, showing the method
of assembly; an experimental missile homing
head; and a photograph of a long-range telemetry sender for missile applications.
