2. 'Last 'August, when we. reviewed' ,this problem. we ,·thought ,that 

'there,m1iht, b~, two additional option.: 'i) develop,an' IMPROVED COlONA 

search systelll, 'with 4.5 foot' resolution, and 2) delay, HEXAGON by • y.ar 

or more in'order to reduce FY68-FY70 commdtments. We conclude that 

neither ~f these "makes sense. Developmelit',costs, for -an' IMPROVED ' 

CORONA with this resolution would ,be roughly the same as the deyelop· 

meDt 'costs remaining for ·'HEXAGON·. ' Delayi~g HEXAGON would cost almost 

.S, .ucb in' -the short' run .nd ,Ott more:1D 'til. 10111 run. , ' , 

" 3,., The HEXAGON Sy8 tem could provide a unique reconnaissance 

capability for the 1970's. ',For example, 7million'square 'Dd1e. iQ' 

the Sovie~ Union' has been built-up and a single ,HEXAGON mission of 

30 days d~~ation could provide cloud'~~ee. high-resolution photography 

(2.5 to 4 foot resolution) of about, three-fourths 'of this are'a. Also 

included'would be -about, 4500 lookS'at 6000 of the high priority targets 

of interest to,'DoD and USIB; In c~n,' a single QAMBIT mission by 

1970 will provide higher' resolutio~ _·3 foot) photograp~y 'of 1500 

,of theae targets. However, since this GAMBIT'adssion will photograph 

JaUch ,les.than one per, cent of 1;he area: covered by tbe HEXAGON,· GAMBIT 

does not perform the II search~' function. , Today. this function is per- , fQrmed by the' CORONA, system with .., to 10 foot resolution. ' 

4. '.the 2.5 to 4 'foot resolution of HEXAGON is markedly more " 

productive than the CORONA t to ·10 foot resolution., ' DIA, CIA ,and NPIC 

studies ,on, the, value of re,solution indicate. that there isa ",breakpo'int'" • 

'iii' re8olution productivity at the 3 to S foot range. For 'example,' -the· : 

: loWer', 7' to 10 fQOt ,resolution of CORONA will detect the' large features 

as80ciated ~rth ICBM' deployment, aircraft," and' 8carr1rig for ~ons~ructioD. 

HEXAGON-like resolut,ion is, needed to identify' smaller vehicles ~ 

weapoDs, and specific types of cODstruc,tion.' Becauae ot'the. value of, ' 

HEXAGON resolution, we conclude that more ,'than balf of ~he targets now 

covered by', the. GAMBIT system c.o~d be adequateiy covered hy HEXAGON. 

1.180, as long a8 surveillance is' oJ'e ,of ,its objectives" GAMBIT missions " 

cauDot be optimized for high' ~e80lutloo;, techntcal,intelligence objectives. 

. 5. We have identified three major contributions' to intei~igence' that 

are,uniguely p08siQle with a HEXAGON system: ' ' 

a. It will significantly improve our ~blllty ~'o search !!2!!.

. ' b.' It will significantly improve ou~, intelligence on gr~und , forces by p'roviding better and fastel: understanding of' force readiness, 

logistical·.s~pport, . and major redeployment •. ,Specifically, it wilt be 

p&rttcuiarly helpful in detecting redeployments of Soviet forces " .. 

towards NATO, China~~lities of Chinese forces :and their 

y deploymentjand the ~orces. If a'satellite is in . 

orbit durinl a,·cri8is. (roughly sen.' 11k.lihood w:Lth Option· II, or III)' it 

'can provide excellent intelligence,' after-delays of a few days or a. 

week, on ~orce deployDaent, buildup, and w1thdrawal~ ., 

. c. It will unigue1x'enable us to detect and asseas mobile. 

forces such as ICBM'.s, IRBH;8, and tactical' offen8ive and defensive 

m1a811es. . 

6. '. We have' identified more than twenty· cases where minor improve1P8nts_in intelligence will' be p08s;Lble and we expect that"these would 

DUmber .in the hund~eds. Typical examples include the abili~y to: 

. a. Reduce pe~ipheral and overhead air reconnaissance. 

b.' Improve intelligence on reg1~nal l()gistlcs, depots and 

transportation. 

- c. Increase und'ers tanding , 'of activi~1es at R&D facilities and 

at research'institutions. 

d. Provide better intelligence by allowing more extensive 

correlation of COMINT and satellite photographyofal~ and,naval 

activities. . . 

e. Improve intell~gence on number. and locations of air 

.defe~8~ x:adars. 

'We dou~t ,that these',many minor improvements would, in themselves, 

justify. deployment' of' HEXAGON but· they will p.rovide a significant 

bonus value if HEXAGON is deployed." . 

7. 'In the .areas of fixed air or missil~ . defenses, naval force'., 

~. long range' air,atomicenergy, and fi~ed ballistic missiles, we' have' 

. not been able' to identify major intelligence problems for which 

, HEXAGON would contribute s.ignificantly. However,' the unexpected value 

of the GAMBIT system to intelligence on ground forces 1s but orie example 

of the inability to predict ,the value o.f a radlcally new system such 'as .~OON. .

8. The major disadvantages of developing HEXAGON are' cost, 

developmental risk, and conttnuity of coverage. W:Lth regard .toco8t, 

if HEXAGON is not developed,' the NRP· budget could be reduced in the'· 

FY 69-71 period. This·reduction may b~ desirable 'as pressures increase 

·to 'deploy new photo, systems. such as MOL or an Indications and Warning. 

System .(I&W), or' to depl~y electron1cand tR systems. Some of. these 

Don-photo.syst.ms may receive unexpected priority .a a re.ult olan , arms limitation agreement· or 'a sudden turn in the developme~t in'Soviet 

~trategic forces •. However,' the outyeax: annual cost· of Option II., . aust~re HEXAGON; is about the same as' that of a CORONA and GAMBIT . pro- . 

gram withoutHEXAooN. If HEXAGON developmental costs. are amortized 

over five or mOre years, HEXAGON need not cost much ··more.' 

9. With ~egard to developme~tal risk, the'HEXAGON development is 

in its third year •. All c.omponents ar~ de~igned and engineering models 

are being completed .and t·ested. There'i$ a general consensus that 

hi~h risk. areas are 'identified and under control. 

10. With respect to continuity of coverage, if HEXAQON is cancelled,' 

7 CORONA and 7 GAMBIT missionspe.r year will provide 14 attempts, an 

estimated 12 successfut launches, and 230 or more days of coverage •. If' 

the.austere·HEXAGON option is selected, this will mean only 8 attempts 

/ per year, an'estimated seven' successful launches, and 175 or more days 

of·cov-erage. The 'latter program leaves more gaps in coverage, particularly. if two successive lil1ssions fail.' . 

11.. The a~stere HEXAGON option .should provide about as good coverage 

as is being achieved today. It will also provide the unique HEXAGON 

benefits of high,resolution~nd faster search,'mob1le ·force·detection,. 

,and better ground force coverage. Continuity of coverage will be 

somewh4t less. . 

12. Another advantage of deploying HEXAGON is that it Will present 

more options in the early seventies for. mixes of photo reconnaissance 

systems. 

a. If HEXAGON 1s developed and if the MOL development.leads to 

an operational, very high resolution system, it seems likely. that the 

GAMBIT sys tem may . be terminated. . ' .. 

.. b. The HEXAGON.launcher and space vehicle are being developed 

to carry the MOL-DORIAN optics. If HEXAGON is cancel.1ed, the option of 

unmanned sy'stem with DORIAN opti,cs won' t be' availa~le. . . .. ......

c. The. cORoNA. syst'em h~s rea~hed' the limi.t of :l:ts, improve~nt. ' 

The current system uses a Tfior-Agena launcher with a fixed-film 

,'panoramic camera., A slgnif:l.'C'ant :l.mp'rovement to the system to ~'rf.na 

resolution below five feet would require "a new booster 'and an optical 

bar camera., This development would ,entail a develop~nt co.ting several 

. hundred million dollars.' On ~he other hand', there 'is a,very significant 

potential' for evolutionary imp'~ovement in the ',HEXAGON sys,teUl ~ncludlna 

loaa.~ ltf. and bt.h.~ ~ •• ol~tion. . ' , , 

d. It may be desirable to modify HEXAGoN or to increase the 

number of HEXAGON missions per year so that a HEXAGON vehicle 1s aloft, 

, more th~ got of the time. This capability,would provide crisis 

, coverage of any area wi~hin.a week or se;;eral days if .critical. 

13. Accordingly, we conclude. that the austere Option II is preferable, 

to cancelling HEXAGON. ,the major advantages o£ the planned'HEXAGON 

program (Option'III) over the austere HEXAGON program (Option II) are: 

1) 30~-fa8ter search, and '301 mOre surveillance and 2) better continu~ty 

- of coverage of important surveillance targets ',(if one HEXAGON or one 

GAMBIT fails we a4 to: 5 month gap' in coverage). 

'" Option III ,requires FY' 70 for long-lead time items 

and will require at in annual operating 'costs 

after FY 7i. Therefore, we recommend, tentative support' of .option III 

by (1) purchasing rong-lead time items' in FY 70 and (2) requesting a", 

DoD and USIB analysis of requirements for a mix of 'HEXAGON aDd GAMBIT 

systems.' In the interim, the approved mtx should be ago in Option II, 

austere HEXAGON. ' 

. 14. If HEXAGON is developed, the FY 69-FY 70 technology development 

for an Indications and Warning (I&W) Sy~tem shouid procede"at a normal, 

unaccelerated pace unless one is' ready' -to justi..fy the system- 801ely' on

a. 'Each six months cover 80 to', 90. per, cent of the develop.~d 

areas' (6.'8 million square miles) of the soviet Union and China. In 

this role, for example, the system has discovered most' starts 'of 

fixed ICBM's and SA-S Tallinn sys tems.' ,. , " . . 

b.' Each twelve months cover 75 per' cent .of the' underdeveloped" 

areas (2.8 million Bqu~re miles) of, th~ Soviet Union and China. ' In 

th~s role, the system ~etec~s developing areas or targets·that will 

require higher resolution coverage •. ,To date, one of the most 

important result~ has been,to"negat~" i.e. indicate that suspicious 

activity was not taking .pla,ce. - ' 

'. c. Cnver with medium resolution, clusters of, targets such as 

missile ranges or highly -~eyeloped areas which can only be partially' 

photographed with the higher resolut,ion GAMBIT system. 

d.' Map or search an additional 12.5,mil~ion square miles per

IV. Short Term Options 

We have evaluated three options as follows: . 

OPTION I ,-Cancel HEXAGON. Cancel HEXAGON immediately. For pY 70 

and after, continue the GAMBIT and CORONA programs'each at seven launches 

per year ~ith six successful expected'. . . 

OPTION II'~'Austere HEXAGON. Phase ·doWn the'CORONA program·as 

planned and by FY 7,2 reach a level in the GAMBIT and 'HEXAGON· programs 

of.four launches per year each with an expectation of more than three' 

successful each. Roughly speaking, this' option' would provide' about',' , the same level of search and surveillance as i8 currently. being' 

achieved. ('.1'bis assumes that HEXAGON'w1l1'bedeveloped according to 

plan and that' laun~h failurei are, not '. excessive). 

,OPTION III' - Planned HEXAGON. The' same ' as' OPTION II, only reach 

--. 

a level in the GAMBIT and HEXAGON pr.ograms· of five launehe8per yeaT. 

each, with an expectation of mar,e than four: successful. each. This option 

would 'provide significantlY.better search and 8urvelilarice than are 

being achieved today. " .
