CONSULTANT OBJECTIVE
P & DS REQUIREMENT FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES IN THE FIELD OF OPTICS
I. Introduction
Optical problems, ranging the gamut of simple to complex, confront the
P & DS with a high degree of frequency. Presently the Development Branch, P & DS,,
has only one person with ftx experience to resolve problems both simple
and fairly complex. The EDL Branch, P & DS, has one person with experience in
a selective field of optics. With the departure of the one person (military
Staff w,1~ have
ssignment) now on the development Bmxmxk, the Branch every little
optical capability.
In any event, there is a stringent requirement for a consultant with the
?Ktffx:kxi highest level of academic and practical experience in optics, who can
offer guidance to the Staff in coping with the realm of optical problems it
continually experiences. Considering the fact that better than 90% of all
photographic exploitation equipment is used to present imagery to the eye, it
is impossible to build instruments without optics of some degree of complexity.
, Iith or without an in-house capability of solving many of these problems, it is
always necessary to solicit a source which has at hand the state-of-the-art
(or anticipated state-of-the-art) in the field of optics and to draw upon such
current knowledge in order to design up-to-date instruments for exploiting the
prospective in reconnaissance photography.
