Possible
ADP Benefits of CIA/DIA
Building Collocation
Introduction
This paper addresses possible benefits to be
-gained in ADP management and capabilities which would
result from collocating DIA and CIA ADP resources at
Langley. Economic benefits are possible in the follow-
ing areas:
the availability of the combined CIA and DIA ADP services
a maintenance support
o site preparation
a space utilization
a facility management
v ADP resource sharing.
Estimates of savings are included but it must be
recognized that these figures are not based on a
detailed analysis and are subject to revision.
Additional benefits would be realized throe h
to the analyst: of both agencies.
Assumptions
The following assumptions are used in this paper:
.o Occupancy of a new DIA/CIA building
.at Langley will begin in 1982. Benefits
are in 1982 and future years.
o DIA-SAFE (formerly ADISS) will be the
follow-on system to DIAOLS and will
achieve operational capability in
].982.
o The CIA-SAFE system will be separate
from DIA-SAFE, and CIA-SAFE will achieve
operational capability in 1982.
o Any ADP management and security issues
between CIA and.DIA can be resolved.

Maintenance Sut}port
Location of DIA ADP facilities at Langley would
allow centralized maintenance support for all CIA and
DIA ADP equipi::ent. Although the vendor mix in 1902
and future years cannot be predicted now, it is likely
that common vendors will be used by CIA and DIA. Both
agencies have equipment from the same vendors now and the
hardware for CIA-SAFE and DIA-SAFE will be from common
sources.
. An estimate of the cost savings resulting from
centralized ADP maintenance support is a minimum of
$150,000 per year.
In addition, travel time to repair terminals connected
to common systems such as CANS, and CIA/DIA SAFE would be
reduced.
Site Preparation
Construction of a single computer site or multiple
contiguous computer sites in a new building would be
more cost effective than constructing separate sites in
the CIA headquarters and the new DIA building. The
CIA/DIA SAFE yst.ems, for instance, could be installed in
a con mon site thus saving duplication of alternate
(emergency) power sources, uninterruptable power supplies,
air conditioning, vaulted areas, tape libraries, fire
detection and suppression systems, etc.
The cost benefit of collocating the CIA/DIA.SAFE
computer sites at Langley rather than building two
separate sites is estimated at $1,000,000. This would,
however, require additional space in the new building
for ADP equipment and supporting personnel over that-
projected in present DIA building plans.
It would not he cost effective to move installed
computer sites in the CIA Headquarters building to a
new building. The investment in environmental. and
utility systems that would have to be duplicated plus
the cost of moving the equipment would be several. million
dollars.
Space..Uti.lization
Consolidation of ADP sites also results in better
space utilization.

The CIA and DIA SAFE systems would each require
approximately 20,000 square feet of space if installed
in separate buildings. Combined into one site it is
estimated that these two systems could be configured in
approximately 30,000 square feet, a net savings of 10,000
square feet.
Facility Management
CIA and DIA both provide 24 hour/day, 7 day/week service
to ADP users. Combining machines in fewer computer centers
and reducing the number of remote job entry stations would
reduce the number of people needed by 10-20% over operating
separate centers.
For the CIA/DIA SAFE systems, a combined facility
operation would save 8-16 positions over operating separate
sites. The dollar value of this savings .is estimated to be
$500,000 per year.
ADP Resource Sharing
The CIA computer facilities planned for 1982 and
future years would be able to absorb the DIA IBM S/360/65
batch load and the DIAC`LS non-intelligence applications
(Note: not on-line DIxAOLS services). This sharing of
resources would eliminate one computer thus saving some
800 square feet of machine room space and $22,000 per year
in maintenance charges. Offloading non-intelligence
applications from DIA-SATE would give better response to
intelligence analysts using this system.
The ADSTAR system will provide a document storage
and retrieval capability for CIA. A similar requirement
is predicted for DIA-SAE?E. Collocating and combining
input processing and /1DSTAl document storage and retrieval
for CIA and DIA could save $1,000,000 over developing a
duplicate system. Additional positions and space would he
required in Headquarters, however, to support the DIA load.
A greater potential for sharing data files would result
from collocation of CIA and DIA-SAFE.
A CIA analyst using SAFE, for instance, could have a
-subset of the Order of Battle file stored in SAFE. Easy
access to the full OB file in DIA-SAFE would eliminate
the need for the duplicate file.
