Program Plan
As indicated elsewhere, an important element in our
planning to cope with the significantly increased volume
of imagery anticipated in FY 1971 and FY 1972 is the
vigorous. prosecution of our research and development
program. We plan, in FY 1971, to initiate or continue
projects falling under three hea ings: Simp ification,
Imagery Handling, and Detailed Exploitation. A listing
of special projects is presented below.

b. PI Correlated Stereogram Maker
The objective is to develop a device fo
printing fully rectified, correlated and
properly aligned stereograms from imagery
with different perspectives. This equipment
would produce stereograms for PI?s to use in
their own working spaces, and would eliminate
the necessity for their sharing the use of
more complicated and expensive optical instru-
ments for viewing stereo imagery.
c. Ultra Violet Rear Projection Viewer
The objective is to develop a rear
projection viewer which will permit a number
of imagery analysts to study the same imagery

2. Imagery Handling: Projects aimed at enabling
NPIC to handle, process, store and retrieve imagery
in more efficient ways, with particular regard for
the very large increase in materials expected.
a. Dry Silver and Non Silver Processes-
The primary objective of this project
is to develop equipment for dry processing of
photo materials. This would be faster, more
economical and less noxious than current
chemical processes. Eventual replacement of
chemical facilities would provide additional
space for ofoer purposes. b. Chip Storage and Retrieval "qx1
Although the in-house study on the use of chip 7-2,
film in exploitation has not yet been completed,
it will probably confirm the advantages of this
method. The objective of this project is the
development of techniques and equipment for
economical and efficient storage and retrieval
of imagery in this format. o ?4 O=Cc ,

C. Automatic Transport Materials 25X1
Even though chip film will probably be used
in exploitation, NPIC is faced with a severe
problem in the physical handling, moving and
storage of roll film; the problem will become
more severe as greater volumes are received.
The objective of this project is to develop
equipment for automating these tasks to the
maximum feasible xtent.

a. Imagery Analysis The prime
objective of this project is to learn more
about the nature of the photographic image,
in particular how to enhance and improve
imagery as an aid in the extraction of intel-
ligence therefrom. During FY 1971, it is
expected that special equipment for these
purposes will be developed.

e. Automatic Dodging Equipment 25X1
"Dodging" is a technique employed to ren er
with as much fidelity and quality as possible
the densities or shadings of imagery in the
production of photographic prints. The purpose
of this project is to develop techniques and
automated equipment to permit the making of
chips or prints with the highest possible
quality for assistance to imagery interpreters
and for NPIC publications'.
f. Test and Eva--ation Equipment 25X1
The equipment now being developed and o uce
according to NPIC specifications is increasingly
complex and unique. The purpose of this project
is to develop specialized equipment to check
conformance with NPIC standards and specifications
so that NPIC will not have to risk using equip-
ment with built-in and undetected flaws and
shortcomings by relying solely on contractor
assurances.

Initial design studies are now under way in the
intelligence community for a 25X1
photographic reconnaissance sys em. by I-X ,
general parameters of this system should be firmed up,
and work will begin on the development of subsystems
and components. Such a system raises hitherto unex-
plored problems of readout, exploitation, storage and
retrieval, and will require new applications of optical,
electronic, and computer technologies. The very nature
of a system demands the closest possible
interface between the design and development of the
collection portion of the system and the design and
development of the readout and exploitation portion.
For the exploitation portion a whole range of concept,
feasibility, and systems and subsystems design studies
will be required as well as the development and fabri-
cation of unique components. These efforts must proceed
in close collaboration with design and development work
on the collection portion of the system.
We have therefore projected an additional l I 25X1

FY 1973, the program will have proceeded to the point
where actual development of operating components will
take place; with this in mind we project an increase of 45A

1. In your Program Submission you list the specific projects which
you intend to pursue. Please indicate when the specific systems
kinder development in each project will be in operation. Please
discuss further work planned within those projects and associated
costs.
a. Automatic Target Recognitio I- These FY-71 funds will
be used for refining and modifying the prototype Automatic
Target Indexing Device developed with FY 69 funds and to convert
the experimental prototype into an operational piece of equipment.
It should be operational by 1972. A small portion (approximately
20%) of the FY 71 funds will be directed toward maintaining some
fundamental and applied research in the general category of
Automatic Target Recognition, such as ways to sort and identify
selected targets during search and scan. This involves laying the
technical ground work for future research and development in the
areas of automatic change detection and automatic target classification.
We believe it worthwhile to maintain this line of research annually
at a level of in keeping with
our RFD role as described in NSCID #8.

anticipate starting in FY 70 with an initial feasibility study.

boarding of the equipment and should result in a prototype by late

which will be used as an operational device. This is an expensive
developmental effort, but one or two of these devices should
justify this R&D expenditure by eliminating the need for large
numbers of highly sophisticated and very expensive viewing
instruments.
c. Ultra Violet Rear Projection Viewer) I- This FY 71 funding will '25X1
cover the final development of an operational prototype, the design
of which is to be started in FY-70. We anticipate that the prototype
viewer will be available by 1971; Production of operational units
should begin by late 1972.
d. Imagery Interpretation Research - This effort is fundamental 25X1
to establishing the technological base for the majority of our other
research and development efforts. It is anticipated that it will
be a continuing program at about this same general level of effort
throughout the planning period. The final products of this research
serve as the basis for establishing specifications for future
developmental equipment and recommendations for operational changes
to improve the efficiency of the Center's exploitation program.
Future work planned within this category will be aimed at meeting
the changing situation within the Center, i.e., coping with new
inputs resulting from future acquisition systems, alterations in
production requirements and variations and modifications in
operational procedures. We believe the projects for payoff in
this program to be high.

f. Imagery Analysis I - This continuing "state-of-the-art"
effort covers applied research and development directed towards
understanding more fully the fundamental nature of the photo-
graphic image and its relationship to achieving superior quality
in the photographic process. We anticipated that most of the
funds in FY-71 will be spent in the development of specialized
equipment to implement those techniques examined in earlier
years, e.g., imagery enhancement and restoration of degraded
imagery. We believe imagery analysis is the key to our business,
and although it does involve some far out research, we feel the
high potential for payoff requires that. we devote an annual
level-of-effort of al to'this program.

Z. Mensuration Equipment
- This project should result in
advanced prototype measuring equipment by 1972 and 1973. The
equipment will incorporate design changes obtained through our
imagery interpretation research program and our precise
measurement studies, as well as the better wide field optical
systems currently under development. Mensuration equipment
under development now and in the near future will probably
satisfy most of our foreseeable needs. But we believe that we
should in FY-71 and 72 begin R&D which looks ahead to new
generations of measuring equipment.
h. Precise Measurement Study ~- These FY-71 funds are for
the continuation of a combined in-house and contractually
supported program to be established in FY-70. We are seeking
to determine the essential design parameters for mensuration
equipment to be developed under the program described in the
statement above (pars f) with the first specific results
appearing in 1971 and 1972.

the feasibility of the design of a highly specialized viewer.

j. Automatic Dodging Equipment
- This funding covers the 2 5X 1
design and fabrication of operationally suitable automatic
dodging equipment for chips and high-quality prints. (Dodging
is a technique used to render with as much fidelity and
quality as possible the densities or shadings of imagery).
Prototype equipment should be ready by 1972 and, if successful,
could result in the design and implementation of other equipment
utilizing the same techniques in the field of graphics re-
production.
k. Test and Evaluation Equipments I- These FY-71 funds 25X1
cover a series of short-term efforts which are required in
response to on-going R&D activities. Since these efforts are
keyed to developments in other individual R&D programs, we
cannot describe them in detail at this time. It is clear,
however, that we will have a continuing requirement for T&E
equipment throughout the planning period.
1. Dry Silver and Non-Silver Processes ~~- This is a 25X1
continuation of our FY 69-70 program in dry silver and non-
silver reproduction processes. By FY-71 development should
have progressed on
dry silver materials to the point where
we should be able to build prototype equipment for the
utilization of both normal and reversal processed
films. 25X1
The FY-71 funds also included research and equipment development
in the areas of dry non-silver materials, techniques, and
equipment. The prototype equipment could be available in 1971
and 1972 with limited production units available in late 1972

or early 1973. (It is possible that a breakthrough in this
field4occur with some other firm. Nevertheless, we feel
that this level of funding for our purposes is about right).
m. Chip Storage and Retrieval II- This program also is a
continuation of an FY 69-70 effort and should result in prototype
equipment for operational use in the 1972 through 1973 time
frame. No additional R&D funding is anticipated at this time. -A
extent 1this effort depends on the estimated impact on the Center
of new collection systems. If we become convinced that there
is no crucial need for chips, the R&D effort will, of course,
be eliminated.
25X1
n. Automatic Transport Materials ~- This project is a follow-on 25X1
to a research program to be started in FY-70. The FY-71 funding
should result in prototype equipment in late 1972 or early 1973,
based on specifications developed under a previous design study
contract. (A recent review of the film handling situation
indicates that we may not require such sophisticated equipment.
Should this indication prove valid, we plan to use these funds
for other R&D work, (See our response to Question #3).

2. Discuss new projects you can now foresee for the period FY 1972-
('!'he following is generalized answer to the above question.
In a few days we will provide narratives arranged by technical
categories and displayed in tabular form with appropriate funding
estimates.)
Research and development at NPIC is currently at a transition
point. (See our Project 70-80 report, attached). This is the result
of two factors: first, we have just moved through a period in which
the Center was seeking short-term, quick, pay-off solutions to existing
problems. This policy combined with two successive austere budgets
(FY 68 4 69) resulted in considerable curtailment of the scope and
magnitude of our research and development program; secondly, the Center
has reached a technological plateau. In the past, we have in the main
conducted an equipment and project-oriented R&D program. This was
practical because there were large numbers of technological gaps
requiring extensive work, such as light tables, microstereoscopes, and
the various other viewing devices. Much could be done in the area of
viewing equipment because so much needed to be done. A series of
successful developments in this area has now largely closed the gap.
The same is true of many other areas of technical interest to the
Center.
It is now necessary for us to think more in terms of systems and
long-terms payoffs rather than individual projects and quick results.
This will require a much broader technological base than we now
possess. During FY 70 and 71, we intend to lay the foundation for

establishing that base. It is, therefore, difficult at this time to
project individual projects in the FY-72 to FY-75 time frame or to
specify the equipment we will develop in response to operational
requirements for the FY 72 to FY 75 period.
Nevertheless, certain specific areas of endeavor can be isolated:
b. If we think of the Center as a system, then it is certainly
a human-limited system. If we are to improve the efficiency of
this human-limited system, studies in the area of imagery
interpretation research will have to continue.

are very difficult to foresee at this time, because so little

 Approved.er Release 2005/06/08 A-RDP78B01A000200030015-9
is known of the system or the nature of the Center's involvement.
We assume, however, that we will be involved and have earmarked
funds for this purpose. (See our response to question 4.)
d. Automation of the viewing process, pre-program scan, audio-
stereo correlation, and automatic edge sensing in mensuration
devices have to come under extensive investigation during the
FY 72 - 75 period.
e. Exotic reproduction materials, techniques and equipment
will have to be perfected and brought into' operational use.

a new concept in imagery interpretation optics; it is the first system
designed from scratch exclusively for use in our business. Assuming
successful development of the system for its primary purpose, we would

would require an additional 0 in FY 71.
Finally, an additional

Interpretation Research to develop superior equipment training packages
to insure that our highly sophisticated new systems will be used at maximum

The above are the basic areas in which the additional funding would be
utilized. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to assign
priorities at this time since priorities are basically established in
relationship to operational requirements or based upon the relationship
of a technological base to some oncoming piece of equipment. In the latter
situation, we would require a much more detailed knowledge of the specific
equipment in the FY 72-75 time frame while in the former case we would require
a better knowledge of future requirements than is now available.
