It was rather a child of necessity. Just another step IS the evoluttofl*ry process taking place Se the days of World War II. 2. It is a truism that war accelerates scientific and technological developasat - World Ur II was no exception. When you stop and think of the scientific and t chnic*1 advances made since World War II - - it's staggering! Prom the time that the first atomic bomb was exploded in New Nexico, July 1945, the Intelligence Camunity has been faced with mounting scientific and technical problem,, especially with the Sov ie t Union. Is September 1949, the Soviets exploded their first atomic device and proge*ded thereafter to become a nuclear peer. In August 193?, the Soviet Union announced the firing of an ICBM. Later that year, in October, the USSR placed the first Sputnik into orbit. The United States followed with its first satellite, Explorer I, on 31 January 1988. Gagarin and Shepard performed their history-making space flights a ,few years later. and there we were - - in Buck Rogers' twenty- fifth century about five hundred years ahead of schedule.

The pace Of scientific and technological revolution has not slow d dolt but continues to accelerate. Thus, the intelligence network has been pressured more and more to keep abreast of the scientific and technological revolution espe- cially in the USSR, and report quickly and as accurately an possible. 4. We, in the Intelligence Community, have solved may problems of this nuclear, missile, and space age by means of technical collection and analysis. Naturally since the data collected is technical, it requires technical translation and interpretation. In the beginninng, the CIA collected it "s da- ta on a compartmented basis, by resorting to various units scattered throughout the agency; for example, the Office of Communications, the Office of Scieatifte Intelligence, Nation- al Photographic Intelligences Center (NPIC), the former Devel- opment Projects Division (M) of DDP, Technical Services :Division (TSD) , and others. But an the problem multiplied and became more complex, it became obvious that there had to be a coagulation of these parts. 5. The first step in this direction occurred late in. 1983 when the Directorate of Research was established. The nissiou of DD/R was the development and Operation of intelli- gence collection systems.

Lent's look at DD/3&T and understand what it is and what it is not. - -? First, it is an organization. leaving an integrated and organic capability to perform all scientific and technological functions within the spectrum of-intelli- gence. In this organization, we have the Alpha and One" ; we have a capability to generate a collection method or de- vice designed to collect against a gap in our intelligence estimate or analysis of a Soviet 8&T development; to conduct the necessary research to toot the feasibility of the idea ; to further develop and carry through on industrial production; to deploy and operate in the foreign field- collection media; to collect the intelligence information; to analyze its mean- ing; and to accomplish finished intelligene production. We believe this to be .a unique organization and one that : 1. organizes and postures the CIA S&T assets to wok with counterpart organizations and other Federal +establ.is ut c, 2. creates a prof ioxal scientific intelligence fra- ternity within CIA whereby exchange of information can take place without doing . violence to conventional concepts of cospartmentation, and create an organizational environment allowing for the career development and utilization in the widest Approved For Release 2005 fig RcE4 RDP89BOO98OR000300130031-4 Approved.

Another component in the DD/S&T is the Office of Computer Services of which Mr. Joseph Backer is the Assistant Director. Before this office came under the DD/S&T, it con- sisted sissted of the CIA Automatic Data Processing Staff uuder the DD/S, and Project CHIVE,, a substantial information and retrieval effort under the DD/I. Those units were brought together to form kprincipaal computer center for the Agency. 14. Computer activity in CIA is comparatively new. As recently as three years ago, the first computer was brought into the Agency to do payroll and accounting work. Bin that time we have five major computer installations in the Agency. They cover the waterfront as far as plicatiom s are concerned and represent an outlay of for rental. 15. With the rapid advances in computer technology and the mushrooming of installations throughout the Agey, it is quite natural that the Director recognized the need for a principal center which would consolidate the Agency& assets in this field and coordinate and guide the overall effort. OCS will perform these functions, in addition to serving the operating needs of it's customers.
