S1AIFCT: Imagery Information Technology
NPIC's programs for improving and adding to its capabilities for
automated handling of information include plans to investigate further
the possibilities of enhancing the speed, ease and accuracy with which
photointerpreters, editors, supervisors and other professional personnel
work with increasing amounts of textual and graphics data, both for
analytical and report production purposes. NPIC's aim is to adapt or
develop AlP systems for such purposes which will enable the Center to
cope with and exploit increasing aamarunts of data at no increase in
manpower. We call this area of our programs Imagery Information Technology.
plan to pursue this aim along two related lines of development
followed by procurement. One line of this ADP effort emphasizes enhance-
ment of the exploitation process. This encompasses the recall and
reference to past missions, revious analyses, and Imagery-relevant
collateral information. A significant step in automating this work is
being taken by the Center through the establishment of the Integrated
Information System. Further efforts along this line will be directed
toward upgrading and expanding that system to meet requirements over the
next five years and beyond.
The second line of effort will be directed at automating the editing,
graphic production, and report generation portion of the exploitation
process. Unlike the analytical phase, little has been done previously
along this line.
For the F 72-76 Plarming period, we have proposed a total

estimates based on our past and present experiences with the costs of
such development and procurement, not on any certain knowledge of what
specific development or procurement alternatives will be chosen three to
six years from now. From our experiences we do anticipate that much of the
procurement costs will be for the software which accompanies the equipment
hardware.
