to establish an automated storage and retrieval capability at such time
as there are sufficient numbers of SITD's to warrant such a move. Costs
have not been estimated for this requirement.)
4. It should be noted that NPIC produced SS6 SITD's for DIA in
FY 70, and that DIA has estimated 400-500 would be required in support
of their FY 71 Basic Reporting Program. SITD's are currently published
as a page of a Basic Report, with a 135-copy distribution.

1. In December 1968, NPIC completed an analysis of the impact that
could be expected if it were to produce and print target delineation
graphics. Included in that analysis was an assessment of direct labor,
material, and equipment costs. Indirect costs Caere.not considered.
Information relative to the expected quantities and types of target
deli___neation graphics that would be needed during.the period 1969-1974
was obtained from the Chairman of the Data Base iVor}:ing Group. He
estimated that the cumulative total could be frarn 1300-3800 for the five
year period. The NPIC analysis estimated that the unit cost of producing
a standard target delineation graphic was

of this evaluation, production costs were included. A total of 57 SITD's
were prepared, 40 of which were produced completely by NPIC acid 17 were
