MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. James Taylor
Executive Director, CIA
THROUGH: Director, Intelligence Community Staf
FROM: Cnairman, COMIREX
25X1 SUBJECT: Funding Requirements for CAMS II
7 August 1987
1. Over the past year COMIREX has continued its functional requirements
definition effort for a new CAMS system. At the same time, a study group
consisting of COMIREX, DIA, and NPIC, with technical support from OD&E, was
created at the direction of the Deputy Director, Intelligence Community Staff,
to determine why large imagery database development programs should not be
merged. The study group completed its analysis in mid-July and recommends
joint development between COMIREX and DIA of a new collection requirements
management system, and a phased approach to eventually merge the DIA
exploitation management system with the NPIC INS system. The collection
requirements management system will have OD&E as the development office, with
initial operating capability planned for 1993 (assuming that funds will be
25X1 provided for development).
2. The purpose of this memorandum is to point out that between now and
1993 at the earliest, the imagery community must continue to operate with the
25X1 current CAMS.

3. At an absolute minimum, we must maintain the health of our current
CAMS as well as service a growing number of users. We project a user growth
rate of ten additions per year which will require additional hardware. We
also will need to find a replacement for GIMS, or take over GIMS support as
this system is phased out by OIT. And, there is a good likelihood that new
terminals will be needed to replace the aging Delta Datas. In adoition to the
above descriped needs, we fully expect that some enhancements will have to be
made to our current CAMS to operate in the environment of the late 198@s-early
1990s. Consequently, we need to make sure that we protect the necessary funds
to operate and maintain the system and provide for those enhancements which
are absolutely essential. We cannot afford to have additional rd ino
25X1 our CAMS funds like those taken in FY-1987 and 1988.

4. I would like to have my staff brief you and Danny Childs during the
next several weeks with the details of our concerns. We would plan to have
OIT present at the briefing. Please have your secretary call mine to set up
an appointment at your convenience. (U)
