SUBJECT: Procedure for Improvement of Immediate Reporting
1. Some work has been done within this division, with the
assistance of the Collateral Support Division, in devising a sy-
stem that may be an aid to the photo interpreter in the immedi-
ate reporting phase conducted by the Center. This system may
be particularly useful for the BttAS3 KNOB IPIR currently being
-orc+iueed.
The system deviied utilizes the Minicard machinery
currently operated by CSD and results in the production of a ref-
erence book which the PI can use while scanning the photography
and preparing his work sheets. The book consists of a map, photo-
grapa; and the latest PT write-up of individual targets. The
r p and photograph are used for location, identification and.
orientation as compared with the phottx-, image being scanned. The
~1.. to raph and latest write-up sheet are used primarily for com-
parison. Comparison and reporting of changes are the most im-
x;,taut ingredients of our present BRASS KNOB IPIR' . Accuracy
f. f reporting should also be enhanced by having in one package
the 1&test photoph and write-up that can be used to check
chwn;c:es and insure consistency in reporting. Such a compendium
will c.:C course serve other useful urposes such as target reference,
CO 2OB .corking group support and quick available reference for inter-
ureters dispatched to field readout areas.
;3. It is suggested that the feasibility of using a system
as generally outlined above be Investigated. A sample book is
avail?ible in this division and fur':her questions on subject can be
