The contract was originally worded in September 1982, and was for
the development and fabrication of two types of TOW cables, one of
open channel design and one of loose tube design. The
deliverables were a 450 meter armored section of each type and a
200 meter unarmored core of each type.
Rochester Corp. Fibers were provided by ITT EOPD and armoring was
successful.
3.3 Tube Design. This design had good results; however, one fiber
was broken during tension cycle testing.
i For
3.4 Open Channel Design. This design did not provide satisfactory&I
%..ed ID
results during this program. Additional design effort would tio
required prior to implementing this approach. By-
