SAMOS UPWITATION PUN

•

1. The SAMOS reconnaissance system will provide photographic

sad electronic intelligence source material for production of

intelligence reports, studies and estimates; geodetic data,

gissile trajectory tapes, trays or matrixes, air navigation •

and target materials, and topographic saps.

affective exploitatioak wl the. latent intelligence received

at the tracking and acquidftion stations will be dependent on

the advance preparation for processing and distribution of

specific source material to specific lccations. It trill also

be dependent on the advance preparation for timely production,

exchange and distribution of intelligence information in narrative,

digital or graphic form as required for mutual support and as

appropriate to avoid unnecessary duplica • i:..3 between the production agencies.

The following governmental agencies and military organizations have a need for varying amounts and kinds of intelligence

source material to be obtained by this system:

Smploitatlon will be achieved in three separate but related

phases. The first phase to be accomplished within the SAMOS

Technical Operetta" Control and Intelligence Data Processing

facility will produce information required for command of

satellites on orbit and initial intelligence. These functions

will be performed by MUDS liquipment. The second phase to be

Information derived from the ferret reconnaissance (subsystem 11 ) will be analysedyby SAC and disseminated as as

intelligence product. Recorded. refined and calibrated electronic

signals will be forwarded to the Aero Space Technical intelligence

Center for technical aaalysis. Other recorded smisdions will be

distributed to appropriate agencies.

material is the production of intelligence luformation, air

navigation sad target materials by SIC, sac, AOC, Dept of

the army, Dept of the Navy, and Central Intelligence Agency.

Standing production control and coordination*chansels will

be used to effect required intelligence action. •

.s. Outing Phase Is initial intelligence and selected source

notarial will be distributed from the SAMOS Intelligence Data

Processing Facility to other organizations and agencies. After

receipt of these other organizations and agencies, the reconnaissance data from RAISON will be „in e.sgrated during Phase II

and Phase III with source material collected by other means

and lose its identity in the int•lligen:e products. These

intelligence products will be produced and disseminated through

standing.production and dissemination channels using 438L or

existing capabilities.

The items to be produced and disseminated during Phase II

will influence National Security Policy, Strategic Warning, and

Quick Reaction Activity. Nome of these items are:

1. Information feedback needed for effective flight

control of satellite on orbit.
