(1) MISSION. The Director of Research and Development
is responsible for maximizing to the greatest possible
extent the application of science and technology in further-
ance of the Agency mission. The office effort covers a
wide range of technical disciplines applied to techniques,
components, and subsystems of concern to the Agency as
a whole as well as preliminary investigations of future
systems for collection, security and analysis of intelligence
data. To accomplish this mission, the Office is directed
toward two prime areas, Physical Sciences and Life
Sciences. In the Physical Sciences the five major areas
of interest are Optics, Applied Physics, Radio Physics,
Physics-Chemistry, and Analysis. In the Life Sciences
the two principal areas are the Biological and the Medical
& Behavioral.
