1. In order to increase its signal analysis capa-
bility, the Special Support Center of OC-SPD has obtained
a number of computer programs during the past two years.
Two signal classification programs and a signal enhance-
ment program, each having a number of supporting rouutines
which can be also used as individual general purpose p
s were developed by external contractors; a number of
gram ,
general purpose signal analysis programs were written by
the Scientific Applications Division of DD/S&'T/OCS: and,
an optimum seeking classifier with feature evaluation
routine was obtained from DD/S&'./ORD/Atl. These programs
comprise a basic digital signal analysis package as
depicted by the functional chart which is contained herein
as an attachment.
2. These basic signal analysis programs are not
presently located in one centralized location, nor are
they compiled into a documented and indexed package.
Certainly, a centrally located package of programs would
be very advantageous to the Special Support Centerl and,
as discussed between our respective personnel, it would
probably serve to generate optimum usagand that
of the programs. Therefore, it is requested
Scientific Applications Division accept the task of com-
piling the signal analysis programs into a documented
and indexed package which can be based at the DD/S&T/OCS
computer facility. In order to implement the task, the
Special Support Center will deliver to the Scientific
Applications Division the card decks, operating instruc-
tions, and documentation of all signal analysis programs
it has had developed. dtheitask wi3lassistance

the Special Support Center liaison officer.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Request for Contractual Services - Office of Communications
1. The Executive Officer of the Office of Communications tele-
phoned me on 27 November 1968 to say that he had a request for contrac-
tual services to provide computer support to one of their contractors
working on an R&D project. I suggested that he send it here for review
before sending it on to the Office of Logistics for action.
2. I received the request on Monday 2 December 1968. The
Office of Research and Development/DDS&T has been furnishing computer
support to the contractor. ORD is changing its hardware configuration
and will not be able to continue to furnish this service during Decem-
ber and the three months following. The project is due for completion
in March 1968 and it is considered important to maintain continuity.
3. I discussed this with the Director of Computer Services
after having learned from the Office of Communications that they had
not, and Mr. Briggs agreed that he should determine the feasibility of
having OCS furnish the service since ORD can no longer do it. Subse-
quently the project officer in the Office of Communications discussed
the question with the Chief of the Operations Division/OCS and it was
agreed that OCS could furnish about 25% of the computer support required.
4. I reported this full sequence of events to the Chief,
Information Processing Staff/OPPB and obtained his concurrence with
the proposal that we proceed with the request for contractual services
for that portion of the computer support which OCS is not able to
furnish.

SUBJECT : ADP Progress Report
SANCA
1. Reprogramming of the SANCA system is continuing with two (2)
part-time programers from OCS Management Support Division and one (l)
full-time programmer from the OCS Technical Staff. The new SANCA tape
search program has been operating since February 1968. The Data Cell
search program is nearing completion and debugging and testing by this
office will begin in May.
2. The new SANCA update programs, for tape and for the Data Cell,
will probably be the last programs completed and it is hoped that these
programs will be completed by July 1968,
3. Summer employees will again be assigned to work on "clean-up"
projects related to SANCA. They will be assigned to such tasks as
adding biographic information to the S,ANCA records.
1. The new SPECLE system became operational on 15 April 1968. The
SPECIE records are now stored on disk and updates and searches of the
file can be performed on s. daily basis.
2. Remarks information contained on the SPECLE manual back-up
records will soon be coded and included in the SPECIE machine record
so that consideration can be given to eliminating the manual records
at a later date.
3. SR&CD feels that the next step in the develox?_mlent of the pfe-
sent SPECLE system should be remote access of the SPECLE file by Cathode
Ray Tube. Three (3) CRT's are already installed in SR&CD. It is possible
that one of the existing CRT's could handle telephonic requests for special
clearance information if a remote access capability is acquired.
