                                TOTAL:  20,000

for FY97 money should be allocated for system improvements, testing,
field hardening, maintenance and repairs: my estimate would be
50,000 for FY97

Communication
-------------
Standard interfaces 1553/1773:		= 2k 
Multiplexer:				= 5k- May find slightly cheaper
2 Wireless ethernet                     = 8k
