There have been a significant number of MOD 7 mounts replaced with MOD lO's, and whether the Gunnery Improvement Program lives or dies, that part of the program is going forward and may, in fact, be completed right now. The 53 radar itself has been demonstrated successfully both here at the Land-Based Test Site and at sea. The concept seems to be a good one, but the fact that it's tied to the upgrade of a very old radar may retard that particular part of the program to where it will never evolve very much further. I would hope that the concept itself will find its way into other developments. The velocimeter, as I said, never got the first dime, and the effort that was carried on at this Station was financed by other means. In fact, there was a velocimeter produced which eventually found its way to a ship, but the Navy has never really supported it, and for some reason it's an unexplainable issue at this point. In fact, the Australian velocimeter has found much more support than our velocimeter. It's likely that that one will be the one the Navy will eventually use, although it doesn't have anywhere near the capability that the Navy's own velocimeter has. The HIFRAG Program is, I believe, ready for introduction to the Fleet now. The electro-optical system is evolving into a more advanced system which is.
