This report, formerly published bimonthly by the GMAIC Deployment
Working Group (DWG) in mimeograph form, has been expanded to include
additional data. It will continue to be published bimonthly in this new
format.
Dissemination of the report was previously limited to holders of
the DWG report, Soviet Surface-to-Surface Missile Deployment. Because
the information contained herein is both supplemental and self-sustaining,
distribution will no longer be limited to holders of the above report.
The current format provides a comprehensive, ready reference
listing of all ICBM, IRBM, and MRBM deployment locations, types of
site configurations, photographic references, estimated construction and
operational status, and other evaluations of the DWG. Additional data
may be added to future revisions.

This report is the sixth revision of Evalu-
ations of Soviet Surface-to-Surface Missile De-
ployment prepared by the Deployment Working
Group of the Guided Missiles and Astronautics
Intelligence Committee. The fifth revision,
dated 1 February 1963 and disseminated under
control number
isting instructions for handling
0 material.
There has been no evidence from any source
to revise the basic information included in the 1
February revision. However, a reanalysis of all
available photography of each ICBM site was
made in an effort to determine more precisely
the construction timing and pace of the Soviet
deployment program. This effort resulted in
minor changes in our estimates of operational
status.
A total of 136 ICBM launchers has been
identified to date at deployed complexes. Of
this total, about 100 are believed to be opera-
tional. See Figure 1 for locations of deployed
ICBM complexes. The four basic ICBM site
configurations are characterized as follows:
TYPE I - A first-generation soft site with a
rail-served pad similar to Launch
Complex A or B, Tyura Tam. To
date, this type has been observed
only at Plesetsk.
TYPE II - A second-generation soft site with
two road-served pads similar to
Launch Complex C, Tyura Tam.
This type was first observed at
Yur'ya and subsequently at 11 other
locations. There are two basic
modifications of this type.*
TYPE III - A hardened site observed at Launch
Complex D, Tyura Tam, and at eight
confirmed ICBM complexes. Each
site consists of two launchers (prob-
ably silo type) and a control bunker.
The degree of hardening cannot be
determined from available evidence.
The excavations during construction
are about 200 feet wide and 500 feet
long. An accurate measurement of
depth has not been determined from
photography.
TYPE IV - A soft configuration consisting of two
road-served launch pads. The con-
figuration was first observed at Tyu-
men' and subsequently at three other
confirmed ICBM complexes. It
differs from TYPE II sites as fol-
lows: (1) the pad separation is be-
tween 800 and 870 feet instead of 980
feet, (2) the ready building is 820
feet from the pad and is smaller
(115 by 130 feet), and (3) there is a
"plus sign" pattern at the rear or
side of the launch area at most of the
sites under construction, the pur-
pose of which has not been deter-
mined.
*The USAF and DIA members of GMAIC believe that
there are three configurations of this type. They assert
that the Type IV site is but another modification of the
Type II site. The NSA member believes that all soft, road-
served ICBM sites should be grouped as Type II until the
missile system involved has been determined.
