plicable activity along an improved road near
the site has not been reported previously. The
road extends west-northwest/east-southeast, is
approximately 35 feet wide, and has been im-
proved for 16, 000 feet. At the western terminus
there is a loop turnaround (not shown in Fig-,
ure 9), and at the eastern end of the improved
section there is a semicircular area of scarred
earth (Figure 9, item 1) containing an unidenti-
fied object. The distance from the outer edge
of the semicircle to the near edge of the road
is 305 feet.
Two smaller semicircles have been cleared
along the north side of the road, approximately
3,335 feet (item 2) and 7,085 feet (item 3)
west of the large semicircle. The distance

25X1 D Photography of revealed a
significant addition underway at the po;,sible
AMM-associated electronic facilities at SA-1
SAM Sites E05-1 and E33-1. On that photog-
raphy it became evident that a second triad was
being constructed at the same end of the l,~unch
area as the original at each site, probably sim-
ilarly oriented and approximately the same size.
Photography of the same date revealed no com-
parable construction at SAM Site E15-1., and
the coverage of Site E24-1 was of poor image
quality, badly blurred.
Details regarding SAM Sites E05-1 and

Three clearings, probably the preliminary

largest clearing (Figure 47, item 1) is :?,150
feet south of the largest building of the existing

mately 400 by 170 feet; the two smaller clear-
ings, in line with the smaller buildings of the
existing triad, measure 125 by 115 feet anti 125
by 85 feet. The clearings form a triangle with
two sides 850 feet long and one side 910 feet

Since the ~ coverage of this site, 25X1 D ~
previously reported, ~ construction has begun
on a second triad, on the east side of the launch
area and generally in line with the existing
triad. The probable foundation for the large
building measures 225 by 140 feet (Figure 48,
item 3) and is 2,030 feet from its counterpart
on the west side of the launch area. Two
clearings complete the triad, the western one
(item 4) covering an area 210 by 155 feet, and the
eastern (item 5) covering an area 320 by 240 feet.
An imaginary line connecting the centers of the
two clearings and the probable foundation would
form a triangle with sides 790, 905, and 870
feet long, comparable to the western triad's
measurements of 800, 1,015 and 860 feet. Ad-
ditional roads to serve the new triad were under
construction in 25X1 D'
and there was indication of clearing for the
large building during that time.
Photography of -shows that on the 25X1 D
ground at the northwest corner of the existing

to be cylindrical, 120 feet in diameter, and an 25X1 D

On the basis of this survey of the changes
taking place at the Moscow SA-1 SAM sites,
the following conclusions can be drawn:
A major modification of the Moscow SA-1
sites, consisting primarily of the constructionof
earthen revetments, is underway with no ap-
parent disruption of the operational capability
of the sites.
The placement, size, and configuration of
these revetments vary, indicating that sym-
metrical deployment within the site is not re-
quired.
The construction of additional building
