Detailed engineering requirements are given for the major units of the system. Technical considerations pertinent to a performance specification are included. The stated requirements are derived from analysis and experiments conducted at the Transportation Systems Center under U.S. Coast Guard Group on Fluorescence Oil Spill Surveillance between December 1973 and June 1974
