Coordinated Plenary Statement on Providing Calculated Missile Acceleration Profiles
The Russian non-paper of June 30, 1998 provided in the Telemetry Working Group during JCIC-XVIII, contains examples of how a missile acceleration profile would be supplemented with data calculated on the basis of engineering estimates for periods during which no relevant on-board or external measurements were obtained.
For ICBM and SLBM flight tests conducted beginning as of the date of this statement, the United States of America intends to supplement the missile acceleration profiles which are to be provided pursuant to paragraph 2 of Section II of the Telemetry Protocol with missile acceleration data calculated on the basis of engineering estimates using as a model the data set forth in the Russian non-paper of June 30, 1998, for all or any portion of a flight test for which a missile acceleration profile is required, but no relevant on-board or external measurements were obtained. All periods for which missile acceleration data calculated on the basis of engineering estimates are provided will be indicated on the missile acceleration profiles.
