25X1X7
5. Plans
None.
6. Problems
The Branch initiated project, "Impact of Soviet Guided Missiles
Program on the Soviet Electronics Industry" (36.2376) is running into
difficulty due to the status of agreed estimates on Soviet missile
capabilities. The analyst on this Branch project has not been able
to go beyond a very preliminary stage. It is believed that the
project due date will require revision.
7. Recommendations
In connection with the problem stated above it is recommended
that this project be rescheduled to tie in more closely with the 1959
NIE schedule. This will also permit the use of the results of the
proposed external research contract in the B-200 SAM system, if this
project receives EIC approval. The proposed new due date to St/PR is
1 April 1959. The research time left open by this postponement can be
utilized effectively by Projects 30.2419, "Economic Session of Soviet
Electronics Conference", and 36.2378, "Trends in the European Satellites
Electronics Industries".
8. Other Information
a. Projects Due in September
