Support Requirements, FY 1982 - FY 1986 F
Memo to AC/MS/DDA fm D/CO dtd 20 Sept 79,
same subj (OC-M79-636)
Introduction
1. This memorandum identifies Administration Directorate
new communications support requirements for the period FY 1982
through FY 1986. The requirements shown below are either'new
or significantly changed from what is currently being provided.
Unless otherwise noted, all existing services will remain
unchanged through FY 1986. 0
2. In defining its new communications requirements, the
Office of Data Processing (ODP) has identified needs that are
Agency-wide in nature--communications support necessary to
provide data processing support for Agency-wide ODP users. We
have chosen to identify and rank each generalized ODP require-
ment and, as a subset thereto, as appropriate, each specific
Administration Directorate requirement. Requirements are
listed in priority order--first ranked being most important.
Unless otherwise indicated, each requirement is valid through
FY 1986 and assumes early FY 1982 implementation.
Requirements
1. Support for Expanded Headquarters Building Data
Services (ODP)
The ODP bus communications requirements for FY 1982
through FY 1986 are included in the Wideband Bus Communications
/ Pages _1 thru

System design and development effort being conducted by the
Consolidated SAFE Project Office/ODP. These requirements have
been coordinated with the Office of Communications so they are
not repeated here. Tab A is a confirming copy of the prelimi-
nary statement of requirements. Use of wideband bus technology
for these and other requirements will probably be necessary in
view of the terminal installation rate discussed below and the
desired increase in transmission rate for some installations
to 9600 bits per second, which will sa urate the OC distribution
grid during this planning period.
25X1
2. Installation of Dual, End-to-End Isolated Path,. Trunk
Carrier Circuits Between the Hea uarters.Buil ing and
Selected Outbuildings ODP
ODP has previously stated that the data communications
required to service ODP customers must have .995 average reli-
ability and .995 average availability per circuit with no more
than one uncorrected error per week per circuit. This require-
ment remains valid and necessary for the provision of an ODP
on-line service availability of .99. I
The availability requirement above equates to a 25X1
maximum outage of 3 minutes per day for a 10 hour service
period. Because of the single thread trunk carrier configura-
tion* in use at most CIA outbuildings today, any failure of
the transmission medium, crypto, or MUX equipment can render
all data service inoperative or degraded for an extended period
of time.** lul
To provide required data service, two separate,
isolated trunk carrier circuits should be available between the
Headquarters Signal Center and each outbuilding Crypto Equipment
Room. Each circuit should have its own MUX and crypto equipment.
Two basic requirements for dual, isolated trunk circuits are:
a. Switching (or loading) from one trunk to a
second trunk must-be initiated and controlled from the
Headquarters Building, requiring no intervention at the
.outbuilding; and
b. Capacity must be such that either trunk to an
outbuilding can accommodate all data service to the out-
building with no degradation.in throughput. F
Trunk carrier as used here is defined as the transmission
medium (microwave, landline, or a combination thereof) and
the trunk-associated crypto and MUX equipment.
**An extended outage for data service is defined as a two-hour
period or greater.

--.Installation of new data terminals (non-SAFE);
-- Relocation of in-use data terminals;
-- Replacement of in-use data terminals;
-- Provision of new data communications lines; and
-- Upgrading the speed of existing data communica-
tions lines.
ODP has estimated the following Agency-wide requirements for
.the installation of new terminals and relocation of existing
terminals:
FY-82 FY-83 FY-84
Installations
Relocations
Tab B provides additional details concerning these estimates.
Note that included in the new installations are CAMS require-
ments for 15 CRT terminals and.3 medium high speed printers
per year and the addition of 10 graphics terminals to the CAMS
configuration in FY 1983. The terminal projection presented
for FY 1982 includes CAMS FY 1981 requirements which were
programmed by OC at an enhanced level.
For purposes of comparison, the following

The installation estimates shown above do not include two addi-
tional categories of requirements:
-- Replacement of existing Delta Data 5260 terminals
with the new ODP terminals is scheduled to start
in FY 1981 and to be completed in FY 1984. Replace-
ment will be scheduled at the rate of approximately
200 terminals per year, subject to the availability
of funds. Replacement terminals will not require
any change in communications support.

5. Secure Data Transfer Capability Between Headauarters
7. Data Line and Patch Panel Installations (ODP)
The rate of Agency-wide new terminal installations
raises a requirement for more communication controller capacity
in the ODP computer centers. In turn, OC will be called upon
for the installation of additional data lines between the
Central Distribution Frame (CDF) room and the computer centers,
and for the installation of patch panels. Such new capacity
will be called for as follows:
FY 1982: Install 336 asynchronous and 48 bisynchronous
data lines between CDF and the GC-47 Special
Center. Install and connect patch panel in
GC-47 with same capacity (DDO System).
FY 1982: Install 448 asynchronous and 48 bisynchronous
data lines between CDF and the GC-03 Ruffing
Center. Install and connect patch panel in
GC-03 with same capacity.
 FY
1986:
Install 336 asynchronous and 48 bisynchronous
data lines between CDF and the GC-47 Special
Center. Install and connect patch panel in
GC-47 with same capacity (DDO System).
FY
1986:
Install 388 asynchronous and 48 bisynchronous
data lines between CDF and the GC-03 Ruffing
Center. Install anc. connect patch panel with
same capacity. .I I 25X1
The installation of patch panels and RFI racks, etc.,
to support the installation of five new ODP front-end processors
was programmed by OC at an enhanced level for FY 1981. The .
front-end processors will be acquired by ODP in FY 1980; this
requirement must be satisfied in. Y 1982 to. allow continued
.customer access to ODP services. lI I 25X1.
8. Minicomputer and Word Processing Networks (ODP)
Agency-wide data terminal projections include a sub-
stantial number of word processing installations. The majority
of these word processors will be standalone installations. In
the FY 1982 to FY 1986 period, we can forecast requirements to
connect a percentage of installed word processors or minicom-
puters to communicate with. like devices in the same building,
in other buildings, or with the central computers in Headquarters.
A conservative planning rate for the installation of minicom-
puter and word processor systems that will require network
communications support is four per year for the FY 1982 to
FY 1986 period. We see the need for this servi coming but
cannot as yet provide specific applications. II 25X1
Network throughput will be required at 9600 bps with
a :995 ability and one uncorrected error per week per cir-
cuit. lul
These enhancements to the commercial and secure voice 25X1
systems are necessitated by the increases in personnel assigned
tol and the increased emphasis on security. This
requirement should be programmed for FY 1982 if not satisfied
in FY 1980 or FY 1981. I

between the and Headquarters Buildings be increased to
provide users access to the desired Headquarters exchange with
a maximum.of two attempts during a normal working day for both
black and secure lines. Further, ODP requests that the hours

10. High Speed Line Requirements (ODP)
New equipment coming into the ODP systems as standards
and the expansion of existing ODP services drive a requirement
for higher speed data lines, both within and external to the
Headquarters Building. Equipment or services which make up
.the high speed line requirements are:
a. New Agency standard CRT terminal, with burst
usages in the.2,000 - 20,000 character range. For
terminals with floppy disks, burst usage could be in
the .100,000 character range. .
b. Word Processing. Stations. While the number'of
"connects" between word processing stations and ODP host
computers is expected to be relatively low, large volumes
of data would be transmitted during each connect session.
c. The increasing user requirement for ODP to provide
registry type services (volume hardcopy output) at
dispersed locations.
d. An increase in the number of minicomputers
being interfaced to the ODP main systems.
