NPIC PROJECT NUMBERING SYSTEM
The attached Table I depicts the procedure for determining
NPIC project numbers.
The account numbers 0 thru 9, appearing in the first
-- numbered column of Table I, are the first digits of the
NPIC eight position project numbering system. These num-
~--~~"~""'~-'bers~represent-the general category of the project.
The second digit in an NPIC project number is de-
rived from the applicable block in line with the number
forming the first digit. An exception to this is in the
KH-8 blocks which utilizes the Znd thru the 5th position of
the project number for the mission designation, and the
sixth position for the "bucket designation". The third
thru the 6th number of the normal project numbers represent
_ a._consecutive numbering account. The 7th and 8th positions
are used when designating lettered splits to the master pro-
ject,number. -
In case of the 15---- anal 17---- series project numbers,
_.a _suhdivision has been made to identify the various air-
craft programs and is shown in Table II.
In the case of the 54--- series project numbers, a sub-
division has been made to identify various countries/or-
ganizations which NPIC services. i.e;
-. Misc. 450001 - 452999
"DIA 453001 - 453999
- ~ ~ NSA 454801 - 454999
