I. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AGAINST PLAN:
STATINTL
A. System Acquisition Phase Prime Contract - During
this period the main thrust of the contractual activity
shifted from requirements analysis to system and subsystem
design activities, the supporting analyses, user language
concept formulation, and integration and test planning. On
12-14 February meetings were held between representatives
from the Consolidated SAFE Project Office (CSPO) an==o
resolve those problem reports which had not been resolved at
the January System Requirements Review. By the end of the
meeting 485 of the original 516 problem reports had been
resolved. The remaining items are not expected to delay
publication of the baseline System Requirements Specification
in March.
System design focused on the following activities:
Preliminary allocation of system requirements to
subsystems using the proposed design from the
Design Competition Phase.
Establishment of detailed outlines for the three
major system design deliverables: System Design
Specification; Subsystem Interface Control Docu-
ments; and Subsystem Development Specifications
(B1) .
Refinement of system design through: development
of a layered network architecture model; defi-
nition of major system transactions; and subsystem
process design.
Other design activities included work on the System
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability Analysis Document,
allocating performance requirements and loading parameters
to subsystems and defining the initial set of top-level
concepts for the user interface and language. Definition of
SAFE test concepts is in progress and the outline for the
SAFE Test Concepts Document has been prepared.
The initial phase of the ADPE specification activity
resulted in delivery of a coordination copy of the hardware
request for proposal (RFP) package to the CSPO for evaluation.
The Government is now reviewing this document with the goal
of issuing it to prospective bidders in mid-March.

In the communications area, work was begun on a special
study to determine the cost and feasibility of expanding the
requirements of the CIA (SAFE) wideband system to include
requirements in addition to SAFE. This study is expected to
take approximately 5 months. In addition, negotiations were
completed with the subcontractor selected to install the
coaxial cable system in the CIA Headquarters Building. A
letter contract to begin work will be issued shortly so that
work can begin before the subcontract is definitized.
According to Ocost performance reporting, this
period was essentially on target with respect to cost. Most
project areas are operating on schedule. There are behind-
schedule conditions (typically not more than a week) in
several areas; th ave not yet affected any major milestones
or deliveries but intends to give them increased project
management attention during the next period.
II. ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR MARCH 1980:
System Acquisition Phase Contract - The baselined
system requirements specifications will be published in
early March. A conversion requirements analysis work plan
will be defined and conversion requirements analysis will
begin. System design refinement will continue. The hardware
RFP will be issued to prospective bidders approximately 28
March. A change proposal will be prepared on the Government's
request to delete the contractor's procurement of terminals
for both CIA and DIA from the contract. Work will begin on
the installation of the coaxial cable in the CIA Headquarters
Building when security clearances are completed for contractor
personnel, now anticipated for early April.
A. DCI Panel Briefing - On 8 February,
an

Technical Advisory Panel.
The briefing covered cross-Agency ADP and bibliography
reference systems.
