FORECAST FOR AUTOMATION DIVISION, FIELD ACTIVITIES, OSA
ACTIVITIES FOR FY-1965 AND FY-1966
1. MISSION:
To provide Project Operations and the Satellite
Operations Center, NRO, through electronic data processing
methods, those usable products which will appreciably
decrease the time of. the preparatory phases of operations,
greatly increase the planning flexibility, and provide
display data to be used by competent authority in the
decision making process.
The term "usable products" includes complete
flight planning for OXCART and IDEALIST, ephemeris computa-
tions and plotting for satellites, command and control
analaysis and such other future programs as determined
feasible and desirable.
2. FUNCTIONS AND OBJECTIVES:
a. The tasks for the First part (first six months
FY'65) of this period will be to complete programs
presently in formulation and continue support of
operational requirements of the Satellite Operations
Center (SOC).
b. she objectives for the latter part (last 18
months) of this period will be:
(1) Refine original programs to provide
additional information or more detailed information
formated to the users requirements.
(2) Develop sophisticated command and control
programs for satellite operations.
(3) Complete flight plan programs for OXCART
to include considerations of all parameters, such
as fuel consumption using varying profiles, emer-
gency alternates, and minimum fuel requirements
at selected points.

(4) Refine plotter programs to provide the
capability to plot target information, flight
strip information and other pertinent data re-
quired by the SOC or the OXCART project.
(5) Continue study of future program require-
ments to support current and future operational
projects.
a. The concept of operations for the Automation
Division encompasses the requirements for specified
equipment, adequate space for personnel and equipment,
and personnel manning consistent with good management
principles considering total work load and required
program completion dates. The IBM 7090 scientific
computer with its associated peripheral equipment,
operated by the Office of Computer Services (OCS), will
be utilized for all program computations. In addition,
the following equipment is required in this Division:
(1) One UNIVAC 1004 Processor
(2) One IBM 026 Card Punch
(3) One IBM 056 Verifier
(11) One Electronics Associates Inc. (EAI)
Dataplotter.
(5) One Friden Teledata and Flexowriter
25X1A
in support of the OXCART project include:
(1) One Electronics Associates Inc. (EAI)
Dataplotter.
(2) One Friden Teledata and Flexowriter
c. Electronic data processing equipment required
at the SOC include:
(1) One Electronics Associates Inc. (EAI
Dataplotter.
(2) One UNIVAC 1004 Processor.
b. Electronic data processing equipment required

d. Miscellaneous EDP supplies and other office
supplies will include:
(1) Magnetic tape
(2) Paper tape
(3) IBM cards
(4) 500' mylar roll
(5) Plotter ink, paper and tape
(6) Tab paper
e. The personnel manning for the Automation
Division is predicated on forecast requirements as
projected through coordination with the Operations
Staff of the SOC and OSA. The division is composed
of two branches. The Programs Branch will consist
of a Digital Systems Analyst as Branch Chief and
seven Digital Systems Programmers,
f. The Automation Division will require a minimum
of 1636 square feet of space. Of this amount, the
machine room requires 500 square feet, 1056 square
feet of office space is required for personnel, and 80
square feet for administrative files, etc.

4. FUNDING ESTIMATES (PER FISCAL YEAR)
funding required to support the concepts
enumerated above is predicated on the assignment of 0
25X1
people, and the rental of all equipment in paragraphs 3.a.,b.,
and c. above, except the three plotters which have been
purchased during FY'64. The sceintific computer and
associated peripheral equipment will be funded by OCS.
