SUBJ&CT Development of DIA's Intelligence Management Information.
System (INIS)
THE TROBLEM
1. To provide active IC/Data Support assistance to the DIA :rojeot
Team developing the DIA Intelligence Management Information System /MI3).
FACTS BEARIOG (Ti THR PROBLEN
2 As follow-on to a November 1971 CSD(I) initiative, DIA/DP was
tasked to develop an intelligence management information system for the
(I/SRV and to aupport ASD(I) program review and management activities.
DIA s now entering the advanced stage of design for a system to support
operations and resources management.
3. This system (1)48)11111 tie together a variety of DIA fUnctional
and administrative management systems and relate them to the objectives and
priorities in .78X Annex A, the ODIP and SRV Structures, and the CIRIS, LMIS
will interrelate, by means of a common management language, certain existing
information gyetems now used for operations and resources management within
the DIA Directorates. IMIS will provide DIA standards end definitions for
common functional, subject and geographic categori s.
4. The IMIS structure will support the resource review process and
will provide a base for the 4evelopment and review of resource milestones
leading to the actual appropriate resource level for each GDIT*Wenit/
activity. Piet major programing and budgeting events are identified --
January FYDP; (2)POP (a proposed new form of DIA program guidance to the
Services and Commands); the Service PON; GDIP (the D/DIA program proposal
to ASD(I); and the OSD eDM. The IMIS will be updated for each of these
events. Data will be collected once a year froa its and activities in
the field and submitted through Commend and Service channels; the other four
updates will be accomplished by DIA irogren Element Managers in coordination
with their Service counterparts.
5. The INN is to be computer-driven.

There is no direct association between the development of INIS
issue, now before the CIA Management Committee, to provide external
*utes remote terminal interactive access to community data maintaiaed
for the DCl/IC in CIA computer*. As IMIS progresses, however, problems
regarding interface between DIA ami DCI (CIA) computers, equipment end files
will have to be solved. It would be desireble for DCl/IC Data Support Grou
to maintain teehnical liaison to solve these problems as they arise.
15. The proposed 'BAC Management Information Working Group ()TWO
have a role in monitoring MIS developaent in a community content. IMI
first a DIA tool for the amazement of the GDIPARY and for DIA operations.
CONCLUSICKS
16. INI is a construetive development. If suezessful t will make
important contributionsto aDrP/aRvaanagement and to the intel1iisecce commun-
ity coordination and review processes. The development of DI'S ahould be
encouraged an* supported by the DCI and the IC Staff.
17. Approve the above conclusions and autherise IC Data Sapp-eft Group
to init ceetinuing technical liaison with DIA/DP and the IMIS
Project Team, and (2) actively support the development of substantive and
computer aspects of IMI8 that relate to the interface of IN78 with CIRIS
mod other evolving csammity amagement infOrmatieo sechanisms.
