In pursuit of this objective Appropriations in this title support the research, development, test, and evaluation activities of Army, Navy, Air Force, and Defense Agencies, such as Advanced Research Projects Agency, Defense Atomic Support Agency, and Defense Communications Agency. Research and development related to civil defense responsibilities of the Department of Defense is carried in the separate title, Civil Defense, in this chapter. În recent years, a significant portion of Defense funding for research and development has been devoted to the simultaneous development of many large strategic weapons systems, such as Titan, Minuteman, and Polaris. By 1966, however, the development, test, and evaluation phases of most of these programs either will be essentially completed or will be in the final and less expensive stages, permitting a decrease in funding for this category of effort. However, the amount requested for 1966 for all Defense research and development appropriations is slightly higher than the 1965 congressional appropriation level since decreases are more than offset by increased funding required for penetration aids and other improvement programs for the large strategic systems, and the development of such new systems as the cargo transport C-5A, and the continuing development of systems such as the F-111 tactical aircraft and the Nike-X antimissile system. Other programs contributing to a higher level in 1966 are the manned orbiting laboratory, the tactical and limited warfare weapons developments, and increases for basic research. Military space programs will be supported in 1966 at a level similar to that provided in 1965. The budget plans and estimated obligations under the appropriations in this title for Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Agencies, and Emergency Fund are summarized below (in thousands of dollars): 1. Military sciences.-This activity includes basic research in the life, physical, mathematical, and social sciences to add to the store of fundamental scientific knowledge, and applied scientific research of importance for military purposes leading to the development of new materials, components, and techniques. Among the many and widely varied scientific fields to be investigated under this activity in 1966 are nuclear weapons effects, nuclear test detection techniques, physical properties of materials, performance of rocket fuels, thermoelectric materials, chemical and biological agents, meteorology, radio astronomy, oceanography, and advanced radar and sonar techniques. The research and development programs of the Advanced Research Projects Agency and the other Defense Agencies, including the readiness program for nuclear weapons effects testing, are funded in this activity. The principal support for such organizations as the Naval Research Laboratory, the Rand Corporation, the Research Analysis Corporation, and the Institute for Defense Analyses is also provided here. In addition to the amounts directly provided for in this activity, basic and applied research is also performed by industrial contractors Supported by certain allowable indirect costs which may be provided for under contracts funded by both the RDT&E and procurement appropriations. 2. Aircraft and related equipment. This activity funds research, development, test, and evaluation related to airframes, engines, and other installed equipment. The 1966 program continues development of the new F-111 high-performance multipurpose fighter aircraft and experimental vertical and short takeoff and landing aircraft, 7,136,802 6,562,909 6,764,000 6,872,931 6,599,993 6,700,000 to meet the needs of all the military services. Navy will continue work on an improved light attack aircraft. In addition, the program includes work on other aircraft to improve the mobility and reconnaissance capabilities of the ground forces. Development testing will continue on the SR-71 strategic reconnaissance aircraft, the YF-12A long range interceptor, and the mach-3 XB-70 research aircraft. Development will be initiated on the advanced C-5A cargo transport and on advanced engines and avionics for a future strategic attack aircraft system. Research and test centers are funded under this activity and include, for example, the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Engineering Group at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. 3. Missiles and related equipment.-This activity provides for research, development, test, and evaluation of missiles of all types. The development of the advanced design Nike-X system represents a major and high priority effort in the field of defense against ballistic missiles. In addition, an extensive research effort on other ballistic missile defense techniques continues to be funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency within the activity "Military sciences," above. In the strategic field, development will continue on improved versions of the operational Minuteman and Polaris ballistic missiles. Development efforts will be initiated on a new air-to-surface attack missile system. Other significant missile development projects include the continuation of a new Navy surface-to-air missile system, as well as further work on the Lance division support missile for land combat.
