U.S. Army Projects Collection, 1964-1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100169

The collection documents JPL activity making Independent Project Assessments (IPAs) for U.S. Army Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM). The dates of the JPL documents are from 1981-1984 while the supporting materials date from 1964-1983. Most of the JPL materials and notes appear to originate from IPA Program Manager James N. Wilson. The collection consists of correspondence files involving each project, as well as extensive background documentation of each project, required by JPL to complete the IPA. The files include contract information, design proposals, project organization, system specifications, presentation notes, reports and blueprint drawings of various projects.
