Additionally, working closely with GBO software engineers, we will develop a fully integrated Monitor and Control interface system which will be compatible with all GBO requirements for a user instrument. This is described in [Sections 7.3](/7-interfaces/7.3) and [7.4](/7-interfaces/7.4). Also, the engineering and commissioning tests shown in the [project schedule](/9-project-management/9.2) as WBS task number 5.8 will be used to validate and demonstrate on-sky performance and procedures as part of the process for qualifying as a GBO user instrument. These tests take place in the final two quarters of the project.

1. The [project schedule](/9-project-management/9.2) includes a 9-month extension as mitigation for delays incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic and collapse of the Arecibo Telescope. We believe this will be adequate if the joint collaborative working agreement with GBO can be finalized shortly following completing this design review.
[Section 9.3](/9-project-management/9.3) addresses causes and mitigation for a budget shortfall due to COVID-19 delays, collapse of the Arecibo Telescope, and costs of moving ALPACA to the GBT. We are pursuing a supplementary funding request for $1,485,645, which will fully fund project completion through installation, integration, and commissioning as a GBO user instrument. Without this or other supplemental sources, the instrument itself can be completed, but installation, integration, and commissioning as a GBO user instrument would be unfunded.
