The test program was conceived to collect and analyze data obtained from ground and flight tests of the Family II Balloon System. This balloon system was developed to provide a stable airborne platform for military applications where sensors are required to operate at altitudes up to 10,000 feet above sea level. The test program was developed utilizing the knowledge and experience gained through the analysis of previous balloon systems and was developed to quantitatively define the performance capabilities of the IID-7A balloon design. Performance was expressed in the following categories: Physical characteristics, aerodynamics, dynamic (flight) stability, structural adequacy, operational suitability.
