Evaluation Team for Analysis of Concepts for a Scan
& Search P.I. Station
1. The Center ig in the initial design stage of a Scan tSa Search
P.Z. Station with ahtegral atieon
would be a rear-projection viewer Combined T.~f
viewing microstereoseope on a small attached light table. The purpose
of this station is to facilitate scan and search of large volumes of
roll film on a rear projection screen -- yet permitting high resolution,
direct viewing of small areas of interest through the mierostereoscope.
2. The development project is to be performed in two phases:
Phase I is for a complete design of a system in seven months; Phase II
is for fabrication and delivery of one complete prototype by March
1971.
3. Phase I (Design) incorporates two distinct stages: (a) con-
ceptual studies (no detail) of several optional configurations of a
station; (b) complete optical, mechanical, and electrical design of
the configuration selected by NPIC. Under Phase I(a) (conceptual
25X1 studies), will deliver to NPIC, at the end of July, 1969, the
results of these conceptual studies of several potential configura-
tions. These studies will include for each configuration the major
technical parameters, the technical risk of success and the approximate
25X1 costs. NPIC had directed.Ito study seven different configurations.
The major operational differences between these configurations is
their flexibility,to accommodate film from one or several collection
systems -- the question being how much cost (and risk) is NPIC willing
to pay for this operational flexibility?
4. In order that the final selection (of the configuration to
be designed and fabricated) reflect all of the concerned Center com-
ponents, an evaluation team is being formed under the direction of
TSSG/DED. It is requested that you appoint a representative from
Declass Review by
