From page 52...
... Appreciable changes in testing capability require the installation of either new or upgraded system components, and upgrades are the frequent choice as the mechanism to introduce major new initiatives. However, significant upgrades require special program funds, and the Center's annual budgeting for generic improvements and modernization has shown marked decreases-down from $13 million 8 years ago to a recent $3 million expenditure level.

... Funded upgrade projects have lagged behind the number of identifiable advances that require unique facilities, and in most cases, some background study of facility characteristics and the degree of achievable simulation must be completed as well. The diminished I&M funds, the evolutionary match of upgrades to immediate testing needs, and the Center's identification of major advances that await approval for completion of upgrade tasks, all reflect difficulties that AEDC will face when attempting to satisfy future requests.
