This personnel research report basically represents a consolidation of three research working papers designed to enumerate the quantitative Navy manpower requirements for various proposed candidate configurations of a new Hydrographic Survey Ship System (AGS). Included is a description of the various AGS candidate proposals and a breakdown of the estimated personnel requirements, in preliminary qualitative terms, for three major subdivisions of the total ship system, which include: (1) embarked survey vehicles, (2) embarked survey team, and (3) ship control. The information contained in this report has been designed to assist in the development of the AGS PTA and also to provide project and cognizant BUPERS personnel planning divisions with the projected quantitative Navy manpower implications of the AGS development program.
