This report describes the instrumentation of SM-65-E Series R and D (Atlas) missiles to be flight tested at the Air Force Missile Test Center (AFMTC), Cape Canaveral, Florida. In general, the Series E R and D missiles are similar to the Series D (AIG) R and D missiles flown during the latter portion of the series D program. Primary innovations on series E missiles include the MA-3 rocket engine system, redesigned propellant feed ducting, sustainer engine gimbaling at staging, free-launch (no holddown), Lot IV inertial guidance, redesigned propellant level control system, new pneumatic regulators, redesigned fuel and LO2 staging valves, and structural changes required to accommodate these differences. These changes and the various series E systems are described in detail in the Flight Test Program. (Author)
