NPIC Target Recognition vs. Ground Resolution Experiment 1. The subject experiment, which is designed to provide the Director, NPIC, with critical data for guidance in making recom- mendations for future reconnaissance collection systems, has progressed to the point where operational photo interpreters are needed for active participation. 2. The first phase of the experiment has been established on a. base which will require one day's effort by each of sixty photo interpreters. To make the results more realistic in terms of actual operational work, the photo interpreters selected should have a minimum of one year's experience interpreting system-type photography. 3. To ease the management of the experiment and reduce the possibility of interference with operational work, it is planned to accommodate eight subjects in the experiment per day. To further assure the realism of results, a cross-section of interpreters is being requested, divided by parent organizations as follows: CIA/PID - 15 men DIA/DIAAP-lP - 15 men NPIC/PAG - 30 men, half CIA and half DIA. 4. Your coo eration with the res onsible team members is requested. will be directing the effort with the support of of &DS, of CIA/PID, and I lof DD/S&T. )DR-Dupe Executive Director, N SECRET GROUP i Excluded from automatic downgrading and de:l ificatioe Annroved ForRdease 2006/06/29.. .IA-RD-P~Z$B0477OA0018DD-02 -3_, Approved For Release 2006/06/29: CIA-RDP78B04770A001800020009-3 Approved For Release 2006/06/29: CIA-RDP78B04770A001800020009-3
