SUMMARY
This report describes several facilities in the Moskva
area that have been determined to be Central Command
Facilities (Figure 1). Supporting evidence is included herein
which shows that several of these facilities are probably
Soviet Rocket Force (SRF) associated and the remainder,
if not SRF, are associated with an undetermined communi-
cations system of equal national importance.
The facilities described herein are presented under
3 general categories: 1) CentralCommandCommunications
Facilities, HF antenna fields from which communications are
relayed, 2) Central Command Operations or Headquarters
Facilities, areas in which command decisions are made,
and 3) significant HF Communications Facilities which
contain earth-mounded buildings surrounded by HF antennas.
A special section on hardened (subsurface) antennas is
included in Appendix A of this report. This type of antenna
was one of the primary recognition features for the identifi-
cation of the centers included in this report and special
attention is invited to this appendix.
INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared in response to CIA
25X1 requirement CIA/ORR/C - RR4-8 1798
o t ese require-
ments have a common theme: locate and identify the SRF
command and control communications links. The search
- was to include the communications facilities at the launch
sites, at the intermediate or regional levels, and finally,
at the central command facilities in the Moskva area. To
date, back-up HF communications facilities have been
identified at 14 SRF probable regional headquarters facil-
ities, approximately 97 percent of the deployed MRBM/IRBM
complexes in the USSR, and at 50 percent of the ICBM
complexes. Thirteen of these sites have previously been
reported by NPIC. 1, 2, 3,4,5/ This report is a study of all
- available photography of the Moskva area to satisfy the
final and most complicated portion of these requirements,
the identification of the SRF Central Command Facilities
The techniques and criteria used in identifying the SRF
command facilities in the Moskva area are principally based
upon the following similarities noted in a comparison of the
previously identified communications facilities at the launch
Approved TO Rel&CR&T
12-3
points and at the intermediate or regional levels:
1. The communications facilities appear to be similar.
The launch sites and regional facilities have an earth-
mounded control building with 2 or more hardened antennas
near the building and contain rhombic, fishbone, and other
HF antennas peripheral to the site. Only those communica-
tions facilities in the Moskva area with these similar features
are included in this report.
2. The field facilities and those in the Moskva area
parallel each other in time, type, and sequence of construc-
tion, including the installation of the hardened (subsurface)
antennas.
3. Azimuthal projections of the antennas in the Moskva
area give good coverage of the MRBM, IRBM, and ICBM
launch sites. Although there is more than one HF antenna
field in the Moskva area which satisfies this condition, the
3 Central Command Communications Facilities described
herein each provides adequate coverage of the MRBM,
IRBM, and ICBM launch complexes and each contains har-
dened (subsurface) antennas.
4. Two of the 3 command communications facilities
have been operational communications sites composed of
a large control building surrounded by rhombic, dipole,
and vee antennas. After being operational an undetermined
period of time, 2 additional antenna sites were constructed
near each of the original antenna sites. Each of these new
sites is composed of a large earth-mounded control build-
ing which is surrounded by rhombic, dipole, vee, and har-
dened (subsurface) antennas and each of the new sites con-
tains more antennas than the original site. At this time,
all 3 facilities are operational.
A probable SRF Central Command Communications
Facility (transmitting) is 2 nautical miles (nm) south of
Novopetrovskoye, and approximately 38.5 nm west-northwest
of Moskva at 55-57-30N 036-28-10E. A counterpart, the
receiving site, is 3.5 nm southeast of Naro-Fominsk and
43 nm southwest of Moskva at 55-20-05N 036-47-30E. An
additional HF receiving site of unidentified function, contains
hardened (subsurface) antennas, and is 21 nm southeast of
Moskva, near Ramenskoye at 55-31-00N038-03-20E. Three
other sites, containing earth-mounded buildings but not
hardened antennas, are reported, but not analyzed in detail
in this report. They are Kryukovo HF Communications
Facility, 22 nm northwest of Moskva at 56-05N 037-06E;
Poselok HF Communications Facility, 26 nm northwest of

approximately 4.5 square miles in area. The components
of this facility include an administration and support area
containing approximately 50 buildings and 3 HF antenna
fields designated Antenna Sites 1, 2, and 3. Together, the
3 HF antenna fields contain a total of 125 aboveground
rhombic, dipole, and vee HF antennas. In addition, there
are 4 hardened (subsurface) and at least 4 probable
hardened (subsurface) antennas under construction.
Antenna Site 1 has an aboveground control building and
associated antennas that predate the construction of the
SRF HF back-up communications facilities. Antenna Sites
2 and 3 both have hardened (subsurface) antennas and earth-
mounded control buildings, and were constructed during the
same time frame as those at the missile launch complexes.
Antenna Site 1. Antenna Site 1 (Figures 2 and 3) contains
a large rectangular control building, approximately 320feet
long and 55 feet wide, and is surrounded by approximately
32 double rhombic antennas, approximately 16 single rhombic
antennas, 3 dipole antennas, and 1 vee antenna. The rhombic
antenna clearings vary in length from approximately 300
feet to approximately 1,250 feet. The width of the antenna
clearings cannot be determined from available photography.

east side of the control building. On
photography, the earth mounding of the control build-
ing apparently had not begun, but on
photography, the next coverage, the structure was at
least partially, if not completely, earth mounded. On Mission
photography, the earth mounding
was definitely complete, there still appeared to be some
construction debris to be removed, and construction was
started on the hardened (subsurface) antennas. No identifi-
able security fencing was observed around this antenna site.
Antenna Site 3. Antenna Site 3 (Figures 3 and 5) con-
tains a large earth-mounded control building similar to the
one at Antenna Site 2. The overall dimensions of the earth-
mounded building and the earth-mounded annex are approxi-
mately 445 feet by 285 feet; the main building is approxi-
mately 370 by 280 feet and the annex is approximately 160
by 75 feet. On the top of the main building are at least 2
or possibly 3 of the same type of raised unidentified struc-
tures as are on the building at Antenna Site 2. The central
control building is surrounded by 2 hardened (subsurface)

antennas, at least 2 probable hardened (subsurface) antennas
under construction, 28 double rhombic antennas including
14 probable double rhombic antennas, 1 probable single
rhombic antenna, 7 dipole antennas, and 1 vee antenna.
The double rhombic antennas vary in length from approxi-
mately 350 feet to approximately 1,200 feet.
This site was first observed on
I photography, at which time only a secondary access
road and a clearing for the control building were visible.
On photography, the control
building was under construction within an excavation and
at least 25 of the antenna clearings had been completed.
photography indicates
that the earth mounding is probably complete on the control
building, 1 HF antenna is under construction, and construc-
tion has been started on the hardened (subsurface) antennas
similar to those present at Antenna Site 2. No identifiable
security fencing can be observed around the antenna site.
Administration and Support Area. The Administration
and Support Area (Figures 2 and 3) contains at least 55
buildings of various sizes and functions. The earliest avail-
able photographic coverage of the area is on
___________fwhich was of such poor interpretability that it
is not possible to distinguish the buildings clearly. On
photography, the coverage
is of somewhat better interpretability and there are at least
18 buildings visible. On
photography, the Administration and Support Area appeared
to be very nearly complete. Aprobable auxiliary powerplant,
complete with an earth-mounded fuel-storage facility, was
under construction on the eastern edge of the Administration
and Support Area.
A construction chronology of this facility is included
in Appendix B. This chronology is followed by maps show-
ing the approximate azimuth projections of the HF antennas
and antenna groups (Figure 31), the approximate azimuth
projections of the hardened (subsurface) antennas (Figure
32), and Table 1 which contains the antenna azimuths, desig-
nations, types, and possible correspondents.

and is approximately 2 square miles in area. It contains
3 HF antenna fields designated Antenna Sites 1, 2, and 3,
and an Administration and Support Area with at least 55
buildings of various sizes and functions. The antennas in-
clude 51 fishbone receiving and dipole antennas and 16
hardened (subsurface) antennas.
Within Antenna Site 1 is an aboveground control build-
ing similar in appearance to the control building at Novo-
petrovskoye Antenna Site 1. The antennas surrounding the
control building predate the SRF HF back-up communications
facilities at deployed missile sites. Antenna Sites 2 and 3
were constructed during the same time as the SRF HF back-
up communications facilities.
Antenna Site 1. Antenna Site 1 (Figures 8 and 9) con-
tains 10 fishbone and 6 horizontal dipole antennas including
2 possible horizontal dipole antennas. Antenna number 4
on Figure 9 is a long-distance fishbone receiving antenna
and the remainder of the antennas in this site are short-
and medium-distance dipole and fishbone antennas. This,
the original antenna site in this facility, was first observed
on photography.

 This mission revealed at least 10 antenna clearings arranged
in a radial pattern around a control building approximately
180 feet by 40 feet. Two very small support buildings and
2 possible switching buildings were apparent on subsequent
photography. Little or no apparent change has been observed
at this site since the identification of the initial antenna
pattern.
Antenna Site 2. Antenna Site 2 (Figures 8 and 9) con-
tains a very large earth-mounded control building (Figures 6
and 10) which is basically rectangular in shape, but with an
annex on one end. The overall dimensions of the control
building and annex are approximately 285 feet by 260 feet,
with the main building approximately

and the annex approximately 100 by 100 feet. The earth-
mounded control building is surrounded by 8 hardened (sub-
surface) antennas, 14 fishbone receiving antennas, and 3
horizontal dipole antennas. Earth scarring in the area
where an earth-mounded building was subsequently con-
110 feet by 110 feet. The control building is surrounded
by 8 hardened (subsurface) antennas, 16 short- and medium-
distance fishbone receiving antennas including 1 probable
fishbone antenna, and 2 horizontal dipole antennas. Antennas
numbered 46 and 36 on Figure 9 are paired long-distance
fishbone receiving antennas. Each of these antennas is
approximately 900 feet long.
On F_ I photog-
raphy, no construction activity could be observed at the
end of the access road serving this site. The site was
next observed on photography,
at which time the actual control building can be identified
in a mid-stage of construction. From subsequent photo-
graphic coverage, it may be inferred that the small annexes
on Antenna Site 2 and Antenna Site 3 earth-mounded control
buildings are of less importance than the earth-mounded
control buildings, as the annexes are the last to be con-
structed and earth mounded. The annexes would appear to
function in support of the larger earth-mounded control
buildings.
Administration and Support Area. This area (Figures 8
and 9) contains at least 55 buildings of various sizes and
functions. An athletics field is west of and outside of the
security fence which surrounds the facility. A probable
auxiliary powerplant and associated earth-mounded fuel
storage facility is on the northern edge of the support area.
This support area has increased in both size and activity
as the construction of the earth-mounded control buildings
progressed.
A construction chronology of this facility is included in
Appendix B. This chronology is followed by maps showing
the approximate azimuth projections of the principal HF
antennas and antenna groups (Figure 33), the approximate
azimuth projections of the hardened (subsurface) antennas
(Figure 34), and Table 2 which contains the antenna azimuths,
designations, types, and possible correspondents.
Ramenskoye Central Command
Communications Facility (Receiving)
The Ramenskoye Central Command Communications
Facility (Receiving) is at 55-31N 038-03E, approximately
20 nm south-southeast of Moskva (Figure 1). The facility
(Figures 12, 13, and 14) is single fenced and contains a
total of 26 HF antennas including 1 dipole, 12 fishbone,
25X125)AX1
mounded central control building,
I-fs surrounded by 6 hardened (subsurface) antenna
Two lattice towers of unidentified function and 4 smal
support buildings are also near the control building. An
Administration and Support Area is on the southeastern
edge of the facility and contains 17 structures including
a small heating and power plant, a probable operations
building, a long vehicle-maintenance building, and a small
earth-mounded building of undetermined function. The re-
maining 13 buildings appear to be logistical in function.
The Administration and Support Area appears similar to
those areas found at Soviet deployed MRBM and IRBM
complexes.
At this time, the exact function of the Ramenskoye
facility has not been determined. It is sufficiently similar
to the Novopetroskoye and Naro-Fominsk facilities to be
justifiably identified as a Central Command Communications
Facility of some type. The presence of the hardened
(subsurface) antennas and the extent of the hardening of
the control area leads one to believe that the function of
double fenced; the outer or perimeter security fence was
constructed around the area of the control building during
an early stage of construction; the inner security fence
surrounds the control building and the loop service road.
Eight hardened (subsurface) antennas are arranged in a
symetrical pattern around the control building, between the
2 fences. No guard or light towers have been identified.
Antennas numbered 29, 19 and 18, 26 on Figure 9 are
paired long-distance fishbone antennas. Some of the other
13 fishbone antennas are also paired. The dipole antennas
are of the short- and medium-distance type. The small
rectangular building that is on the access road and in front
of the earth-mounded control building appeared at approxi-
mately the same time as the radial antenna pattern. It is
possible that this structure was used for operational testing
of the communications equipment while the earth-mounded
building was under construction.
Antenna Site 3. Antenna Site 3 (Figures 8 and 9) is
similar in appearance and development to Antenna Site 2,
and contains a very large earth-mounded, control building
with an annex on one end (Figures 7 and 11). The overall
dimensions of the control building and annex are approxi-
mately 290 feet by 265 feet, with the main building approxi-
mately 265 feet by 220 feet, and the annex approximately

the Ramenskoye facility is within the higher levels of the
Soviet command communications structure. In addition to
the earth-mounded control building and hardened (subsur-
face) antennas, the azimuthal projections of aboveground
antennas give reasonably good coverage of the prime
areas of missile deployment. Precise correspondents,
however, have not been determined.
A brief construction chronology of this facility is
included in Appendix B. This chronology is followed by
maps showing the approximate azimuthal projections of
the principal HF antennas and antenna groups (Figure 35),
the approximate azimuthal projections of the hardened
(subsurface) antennas (Figure 36), and Table 3 which
contains the antenna azimuths, designations, types, and
possible correspondents.
CENTRAL COMMAND OPERATIONS
OR HEADQUARTERS FACILITIES
Previous NPIC reports 1, 2, 3/ on SRF field communi-
cations facilities implied that the higher in the echelon of
command, the more space required for the operations area
of the communications facility. At the missile launch
complexes, the lowest echelon analyzed, the communications
operations were conducted in a hardened, earth-mounded
control building at the center of the antenna field. At the
SRF probable regional headquarters facilities, probably
the division level, the communications operations required
not only a larger earth-mounded control building than at
the missile launch complexes, but also an added head-
quarters area. This headquarters area contains a triple-
sectioned, earth-mounded building and adequate support
buildings.
Every communications facility in the Moskva area
was studied on all interpretable photography available.
Each of the facilities was examined for similar earth-
mounded buildings, support and headquarters areas. From
this examination, both the Central Command Communica-
tions Facilities and the Central Command Operations or
Headquarters Facilities were identified. The 4 Central
Command Operations or Headquarters Facilities identified
to date are near Perkhushkovo, Chernoye, Sharapovo, and
Chekhov. All of these are considered to be central command
facilities of some type, although not necessarily SRF Central
Command Facilities. One of these, the Perkhushkovo
facility, is favored in this report as the most likely candi-
date to be the Probable SRF Central Command Headquarters
Facility because of the large size of the 2 earth-mounded
personnel buildings and their immediate support buildings
which were constructed during the same time as the
facilities at the launch complexes, the regional headquarters
facilities, and the new facilities at Novopetrovskoye and at
Naro-Fominsk. The 3 other command centers predate the
construction of the SRF HF back-up communications sys-
tems. In addition, the Perkhushkovo facility is favorably
situated (Figure 1) approximately midway between
Novopetrovskoye and Naro-Fominsk, and the Perkhushkovo
earth-mounded control buildings are of the rectangular,
low-profile type similar to the earth-mounded buildings
within the Novopetrovskoye and Naro-Fominsk facilities.
Perkhushkovo Probable SRF Central
Command Headquarters Facility
The most significant components of the Perkhushkovo
facility (Figures 15 and 16) are the 4 semiburied, earth-

mounded buildings within a separately secured area on th
west side of the facility. Two of these buildings are each
approximately 360 feet long and 135 feet wide, and after
construction they appear as one large mound. The other 2

 APPENDIX A
HARDENED ANTENNAS
The objective of this appendix is to present a general
description of hardened (subsurface) antennas. The reader
is also encouraged to read the referenced reports,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13/ on hardened antennas as these are
probably the best available sources of background informa-
tion on hardened antennas.
The hardened (subsurface) type of antenna is newly
identified in the USSR in this report. This is the first known
specific information published on actual deployment of them
in the USSR. The presence of this type of antenna was one
of the prime identification signatures in determining the
association of the facilities described in this report with
the SRF.
The use of hardened antennas, both in the US and the
USSR, has been made possible as the result of rather recent
technical achievements. Therefore, extensive research
which would have delayed this report will be required before
a full report on Soviet hardened (subsurface) antennas may
be prepared.
SOVIET HARDENED
(SUBSURFACE) ANTENNAS
Soviet hardened (subsurface) antennas (Figures 26
through 30) appear to be constructed of numerous dipole
antennas, each approximately a quarter wavelength long,
which are arranged linearly in parallel rows to form a
rectangle. The entire antenna array appears to be buried
to a depth of approximately Based on the spacing
and depth of the emplaced dipoles, the resonant frequency
of the Soviet hardened (subsurface) antennas is inferred
to be within the lower portions of the HF spectrum.
During early stages of construction, the general appear-
ance of the hardened (subsurface) antenna is that of a buried
fishbone antenna, but with the dipoles placed closer together.
The dipoles of the entire antenna assembly are carefully
buried in intersecting trenches which are then earth-
mounded. Thus, the earth-mounded antenna array becomes
a part of the earth. Soviet hardened (subsurface) antennas,
therefore, are neither pop-up type nor are they stored in
coffin-like cavities. It is also apparently important to keep
Approved~~el~s~~~1
the dipoles reasonably dry as the top of the grid is slightly
above the normal level of the earth's surface and the
antenna presents a low profile. The dipoles of the antenna
are center fed as noted from the conspicuous trench which
bisects the array. Transmission line attenuation is ap-
parently critical because the antennas are always placed
close to the earth-mounded control building.
An anomaly was observed with respect to this type of
hardened (subsurface) antenna. As deployed by the Soviets,
the antenna array apparently has some directivity as indi-
cated by its alignment with respect to certain aboveground
HF antennas. Most of the available engineering studies
indicate that the array is omnidirectional and propagates a
conventional Norton surface wave. If the Soviets have
designed and deployed a directive hardened (subsurface)
antenna, the antenna orientation may then point to other
components of the SRF command structure. At this time,
inspection of the antenna orientation and plotting preliminary
azimuths indicate a much longer range than normally
accredited to this type of antenna. Ranges of from 600
to 1,000 nm are anticipated.
The dimensions and orientations of the hardened
(subsurface) antennas at the Novopetrovskoye facility are
included in Figures 4 and 5, at the Naro-Fominsk facility
are included in Figures 6 and 7, and at the Ramenskoye
facility are included in Figure 12.
APPENDIX B
CONSTRUCTION CHRONOLOGY
Novo petrovskoye
The Novopetrovskoye facility was first identified on
photography. This coverage
is hazy and of poor interpretability. Antenna Site 1, which
may be active at this time, consists of a single large control
building, 1 smaller building, and at least 5 and possibly 10
probable rhombic antenna scars and clearings. Antenna
Site 2 contains a small clearing and a possible small build-
ing, but no antenna clearings or other construction are
apparent. There is no evidence of any buildings or antenna
clearings at Antenna Site 3, but there does appear to be a
road leading to the clearing in which an earth-mounded
control building will be built. The support area is in a very

early stage of construction, is probably singly secured, and
contains approximately 20 buildings.
photography is the next 25X1
coverage of the facility and is of fair interpretability.
At Antenna Site 1, much track activity is apparent around
the control building, and at least 5 secondary buildings, 2
probable cooling ponds, and scattered stacks of construction
materials are identifiable. There is a long linear scar to
the south of the control building which may be an attempt to
bury an incoming powerline. At this stage of construction,
Antenna Site 1 is surrounded by at least 30 antenna clearings.
Antenna Site 2 is fenced on at least 1 side and an earth-
mounded control building is under construction within an
excavation. This antenna site is surrounded by at least 10
antenna clearings in varying degrees of completion. There
is some construction evident at Antenna Site 3, probably
work on the excavation. This antenna site contains 1 small
building and at least 1 section of the fence which surrounds
the site during construction. There are also at least 2
antenna clearings associated with this site. The clearing
which is probably used to pile the spoil from the excavation
is apparently free of spoil, indicating the excavation work
probably had not yet begun. However, there does appear to
be a rounded, L-shaped mound or revetment at the point
where the excavation will be dug. The Administration and
Support Area contains as least 30 buildings, and the road to
what will be the probable auxiliary powerplant is apparently
being used more than on the previous photographic coverage.
The next coverage of the facility is on
photography, but interpretation is limited.
At least 2 secondary buildings have been completed at An-
tenna Site 1, and the site is now surrounded by approximately
25 antenna clearings. The excavation has been completed at
Antenna Site 3 and the control building is under construction
in the excavation. The construction area at this site appears
to be singly secured, and contains at least 1 rectangular sec-
ondary building. The site is surrounded by approximately 25
antenna clearings at this stage of construction. The Ad-
ministration and Support Area now contains a minimum of
50 buildings and is at least partially secured. The small
construction area east of the Administration and Support
Area contains 3 probable small buildings, and construction
is apparently continuing.

is cloud covered. photography
does not have the same high quality of interpretability, but
the facility is cloud free. Antenna Site 1 contains a large
central control building, 6 medium-sized rectangular build-
ings, 1 T-shaped building, 1 small square building partly
enclosed by a fence, 2 circular probable cooling ponds, and
several storage sheds and piles of construction materials.
The control building is surrounded by approximately 45
antennas in various stages of construction. At Antenna Site
the control building is still under construction in the
2
,
25X1 excavation and a new structure has been built within the
- construction fence at the southeast end of the excavation.
This structure may now be complete. It was visible on
to be incomplete. The main control building, before being
earth mounded, is approximately 160 feet by 115 feet and
(photography, but then appeared
the new adjacent structure is approximately 115 by 60 feet.
On one side of the site, the fence merges with a pair of
25X1
small rectangular buildings, and there is another building
outside the fence. The site is surrounded by approximately
30 antenna clearings. Antenna Site 3 is surrounded by a
construction fence, and the central control building is
apparently still under construction. Two circular objects
are on the southwest side of the control building. They
appear somewhat like cooling ponds, but they are subse-
quently covered although not earth mounded. The con-
struction area also contains 2 small buildings, several
sheds or piles of construction materials, and, outside the
gate, 1 or 2 small buildings. A new structure is at the
northeast end of the excavation. It is apparently similar
to and was first apparent at the same time as the new
structure at Antenna Site 2. The main control building,
before being earth mounded, is approximately 115 by 110
feet and the new structure is approximately 115 by 70 feet.
The new structures at both Antenna Sites 2 and 3 do not
appear to protrude above ground level. Antenna Site 3
is surrounded by approximately 30 antenna clearings.
There does not appear to be any change in the Administra-
tion and Support Area, but the small construction area
just to the east now contains a possible generator building
and 2 possible earth-mounded fuel storage tanks.

begun to earth mound it.
photography is clear,
oblique coverage. There is no apparent change in Antenna
Site 1. Antenna Site 2 control building is apparently in a
late stage of earth mounding. The main construction work
at Antenna Site 3 seems to be complete, but apparently the
earth mounding of the control building has not yet been
started. The new structure at the end of the control building
now appears to be approximately the height of the control
building. It also has several unidentified objects on the
roof which appear to be similar to those on the roof of the
control building and which are visible after earth mounding.
The coverage ofl photogra-
phy is limited by snow and scattered clouds, but the resolu-
tion is good. There has been little change in Antenna Site 1.
Construction in this area is probably complete because the
extra construction shacks and piles of materials appear to
have been removed. Antenna Site 2 control building is still
in a late stage of earth mounding, although partial cloud
cover precludes a precise determination of its status; ap-
proximately 17 antenna clearings are visible. Antenna Site
3 is cloud covered, and consequently cannot be viewed.
Antenna Site 1 is surrounded by approximately 40 antenna
clearings. Antenna Site 3 includes at least 30 antenna
clearings. No changes were observed in the Administration
and Support Area.
photography is good, but
difficult to interprets because of the road patterns and
irregular snow melting. At Antenna Site 1, one of the
rectangular buildings in the group at the west end of the
main control building has been removed, leaving at the
west end 2 medium rectangular, 1 T-shaped, and 1 small
rectangular buildings. In the same area, they appear to be
adding more antennas, probably 2 groups of double day/night
rhombics, or 8 new antennas in all. Nothing new can be
determined about Antenna Site 2. Antenna Site 3 appears
to be nearly complete, but the earth-mounded control
building is clear of snow. At this time, evidence of con-
t
struction of at least 2 hardened (subsurface) antennas was
first observed. No changes are observed in the Administra-
tion and Support Area.

photography indicates` ~' ` q
that they probably have removed 2 more buildings
from the west end of the control building at Antenna Site
1, which leaves 1 T-shaped and 1 medium-sized rectangular
buildings. Antenna Site 2 control building is still in a
late stage of earth mounding. The auxiliary structure
at 1 end of the control building appears to be about one-
half the height of the main building, and apparently has
not been earth mounded. At Antenna Site 3, the earth
mounding may be complete, but there is still so much
earth scarring in the earth-mounded area that it is difficult
little change in the overall facility. Antenna Site 1 is
partially cloud covered and no changes are visible. The
earth mounding Was definitely complete at Antenna Site 2,
but no other changes are apparent in this area. The earth-
mounding at Antenna Site 3 is probably complete, but the
construction fence is in place, and construction debris has

The Naro-Fominsk Facility was first identified on

to be operational at that time. The 2 access roads to
Antenna Sites 2 and 3 can be observed. Earth scarring in
the area of the future earth-mounded control building at
Antenna Site 3 indicates the building maybe in an early stage
of construction. The central control building at Antenna
Site 1 is surrounded by at least 10 forest clearings for
fishbone antennas. A clearing in the forest for an
unidentified inclined structure is also visible. The number
of buildings in the Administration and Support Area is
undeterminable on this photography

On photography, the / facility is partially obscured by scattered clouds, and the
interpretation is limited. No forest clearings for the fish-

the earth-mounded control building. Antenna Site 2 is
25X1 partially cloud covered, but several clearings in the forest
for the fishbone antennas are evident. There are no
25X1
apparent changes in Antenna Site 1. The number of buildings
in the Administration and Support Area is undeterminable
on this photography.
On photography, the forest
clearings for the fishbone antennas, the dipole antennas, and
the associated feeder lines to the antennas are fairly well
defined at all 3 antenna sites. A large excavation for the
earth-mounded control building is apparent at Antenna Site
3. At Antenna Site 2, earth scarring indicates the control
building may possibly be in an early stage of construction.
There is no apparent change in Antenna Site 1. Since the
clearin
s for the feeder lines can be observed at Antenna
g
25X1
Sites 2 and 3, it is assumed that the fishbone and dipole
25X1
antennas have been erected and that the antennas were
operational at the time of this photography. The Administra-
tion and Support Area contains at least 20 buildings.
On photography, the
construction activity is continuing at both of the earth-
mounded control building sites and an inner security fence
is around each site. The stage of completion of the earth-
mounded control buildings cannot be determined on this
photography. At least 3 forest clearings for hardened
25X1 (subsurface) antennas around the earth-mounded building
25X1
25X1
25X1
at Antenna Site 2 are now apparent. No changes can be
observed in the antenna clearings or in Antenna Site 1.
Snow precludes further interpretation of this photography.
OnI photography, the earth-
mounded building at Antenna Site 2 appeared to be in a mid
stage of construction. At Antenna Site 3, earth backfilling
of the earth-mounded control building and an excavation
for an annex are apparent. The earth mounding of the control
building can be observed. Two small support and security
buildings are now on the access roads tothe earth-mounded
building sites. The Administration and Support Area has
been expanded to approximately 40 buildings. A majority
of the additional buildings appear to be large institutional-
type or barracks-type structures. A probable auxiliary
to the control building, a support building and several
other smaller buildings can be observed at Antenna Site 1.
On photography, the back-
filling of the control building at Antenna Site 3 was up to
the level of the roof and a possible small crane was on the
roof. One of the lower floors had been constructed in the
annex to the earth-mounded control building at Antenna
Site 3. No construction activity can be observed on the
annex to the earth-mounded control building at Antenna Site
2. The number of cleared areas for hardened (subsurface)
antennas had been increased from at least 3 to 5 at Antenna
Site 2, and at least 3 new clearings for these antennas can
be seen at Antenna Site 2. One of the clearings at Antenna
Site 2 appeared to have had some aggregate dumped on it to
form a flat rectangular mound approximately 10 feet high.
On photography, the control
building at Antenna Site 3 was approximately 85 percent
earth covered and the annex to the earth-mounded control
building appeared to be complete. Five rectangular,
hardened (subsurface) antennas were located around the
earth-mounded building at Antenna Site 3. Six rectangular
hardened (subsurface) antennas were located at Antenna
Site 2. The excavation for the annex to the earth-mounded
control building at Antenna Site 2 is also apparent. Earth
mounding of the control buildings was incomplete.
On F- I photography, the
earth-mounded control buildings were in a late stage of
being earth mounded with the roof outline and portions of
the building still visible. The annex at Antenna Site 3 is
now roofed and the annex at Antenna Site 2 is still under
construction. There were no changes in the number of
hardened (subsurface) antennas which surround the earth-
mounded control buildings or the number of HF antennas at
the central control building of Antenna Site 1.
photography is limited
by poor interpretability and obliquity, but there are indica-
tions that the earth mounding of the control buildings is
probably complete.
There were no apparent changes in the earth-mounded
control buildings observed on
=photography, but a second security fence was evident
around each earth-mounded control building. These fences
25X1r
enclose both the earth-mounded control buildings and the
hardened (subsurface) antennas at each antenna site. Snow
limits further interpretation.
On Photography, both of
the earth-mounded control buildings and their additions
were completely earth mounded. The hardened (subsurface)
antennas that can be observed have a complete appearance
with smooth tops, and a loop road serves the earth-mounded
loop road can be observed along the north side of the
earth-mounded control building. A total of 8 hardened
(subsurface) antennas are at Antenna Site 2 and 8 hardened

performed on the antennas is approximate because of the
limiting conditions of the photography. There has been
