The DRSP, activity "Survivable and Enduring Intelligence System
(SEIS)" involves concept definition studies for. a system w*hich would
supplement present and projected enduring intelligence and
in~elligence-related capabilities. Because reconnaissance satellites
will be the primary means used for this collection, many of the
details of this effort will remain within the BYEMAN system until a
decisior. on sys.te.m acquisition is reached. At that time, a decision
will be rendered on the appropriate classification level for the
program and 2 more detailed classification guide will be published.
