This summary report lists the NPIC intelligence
targets imaged on photography.
Items are arranged in three sections.
The "SUMMARY" section provides short descriptions
for newly identified targets and previously reported tar-
gets showing change, and also provides order of battle
information.
The "NAC" section provides a listing of those targets
which reflect no apparent change in facilities from the
most adequate previous description. The summary in
which this description appears is designated by the ap-
propriate mission number, prefixed by the letters NAC
and appearing on the photo reference line. Military
installations where there is no significant change in fa-
cilities and where no order of battle can be determined
are listed under this section.
The "ID" section provides a listing of those targets
which could be identified but not interpreted.
If the publication contains no summary, or NAC, or
ID targets, the appropriate section is omitted.
Targets in each section are arranged 1) by country,
2) within the country according to subject, 3) within the
subject by WAC area, and 4) within the WAC area by
geographic coordinates in ascending order. An explanation
of column headings and photo references used in pre-
senting the information is contained in the appendix. The
map base used (when available) for the derivation of
coordinates in this summary is the latest and applicable
edition of the AMS series L509, scale 1/250,000, L701
and L7012, scale 1/50,000, and the ATC series 200, scale
1 / 200, 000.
The user of. this summary is cautioned that the scan
of photography was accomplished in a relatively short
time and often without the aid of precise analytical and
mensural techniques commonly employed in detailed photog-
raphic analysis. Consequently, although the information
presented herein is essentially accurate, additional, de-
tailed analysis may somewhat alter portions of the in-
formation.
P.AA defenses are divided into three categories: light
(ZPU-1, ZPU-2, ZPU-4, 37MM), medium (57MM, 85MM),
and heavy (100MM and larger). The term HMGAA (heavy
machine gun antiaircraft) indicates a weapon smaller than
a ZPU-1. Where a category cannot be determined, the site
will be listed as an AAA site and the number of guns in-
dicated (example: 6-gun AAA site, occupied/unoccupied).

APPENDIX
City, Installation--This column contains the name of
the city or town nearest the installation, followed by the
name of the installation. If the name of the installation is
not known, it is titled according to its function. Where
appropriate, the city and installation names are followed
by a capsule description.
Coordinates--Coordinates are referenced to the SW
corner of the minute square. When the subject installation
covers a wide area, coordinates are given for the approxi-
mate center of the installation.
WAC--This column provides the World Aeronautical
Chart number for that area in which the subject installation
is situated.
_Installation Numbers--This column is divided into two
subcolumns. The first subcolumn lists, when known, the
BE installation number assigned to the installation. The
second subcolumn lists the installation number assigned by
NPIC. Installation numbers, when used to reference an
item, should be prefixed by the appropriate WAC number,
since installation numbers are repeated from WAC to WAC.
For example, there is an NPIC target number 0468-15-A
and an NPIC target number 0467-15-A. In each instance,
the NPIC installation number is 15-A, but the installations
appear on different WAC charts.
COMDR target numbers, when available, are listed
directly above the photo reference data.
The photo reference data indicates the frame(s) on
which the installation appears.
CONDITIONS AFFECTING PHOTOGRAPHY
Following the photo reference data, symbols indicate
conditions which affect the appearance of the installation
on the photography. The symbols are: C (clear), SC
(scattered cloud cover), H (haze), CS (cloud shadow), HC
(heavy cloud cover), SD (semidarkness), S (snow), O (obli-
quity), GC (ground cover), CF (camouflage), and GR (ground
resolution).
Interpretability of the photography is categorized as
G (good), F (fair), or P (poor).
Target coverage is denoted by the symbols T (total)
or PT (partial).
The mode of coverage is indicated by ST (stereo),
NS (nonstereo), or PS (partial stereo).
