MEMORANDUM FOR:
SUBJECT : The Office of Imagery Analysis Management Information
System (MIS)
1. The MIS is an on-line computerized file designed to provide OIA
management with current information on OIA projects and published reports.
Information is kept current within the file for approximately two years
and is then transferred to magnetic tape and stored off-line. Data on
over 2000 projects and some 3000 reports are retrievable on a near real-time
basis.
2. Maintained within the ODP system., this data base is similar to the
OASIS file incorporating the same computer language and Delta Data terminals.
First operational in mid 1972 using NPIC computer support, the MIS was
transferred to ODP in early 1975.
3. Weekly hard copy listings are sent to each division providing
information on the status of their projects. In addition, at program
review time, each branch chief is provided with two reports containing
information on their branch projects including the number of hours
expended on each, and the number of hours each analyst has charged
against all of their projects.
4. The PRISM number is 1B784
