7 Summary of Recommendations
7.1 Basis for Recommendations
The summary of recommendations presented here is drawn from the other sections of the ER. The basis for the recommendations is contained in the sections for each fusion
category. Several of the recommendations are annotated with “Phase 1” indicating that the recommendation was made in Phase 1 of the Fusion Study and have yet to be acted
upon. Many of the Phase 1 recommendations were investigated in the OWS-7 Testbed and do not appear here as they were in Phase 1.
