MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, National Reconnaissance Office 

SUBJECT: Revised FY 1969 Budgets 

1. Attached hereto are reV1S10ns to the Agency's FY 1969 

budget submissions for the IDEALIST and General Research & 

Development (Aircraft) programs. 

2. The revised IDEALIST FY-69 program totals $23.599 

million as compared to the original estimate of $23.375 

million, a net increase of $224K. The operational concept 

remains as stated in BYE-0045-67. The only significant differences from our original estimates occur in the Airborne 

Electronics and Camera areas of the New Equipment category. 

The changes are explained in the attached detailed review 

(Attachment A). The format has been changed in accordance 

with an informal request received from your office. Major 

categories are: New Equipment; Support; Maintenance Technicians; Construction, Operations and Maintenance. 

a. Requirements for procurement of new equipment 

are listed on an individual item basis. 

b. The Support category covers all contracts for 

spares, overhaul and engineering support, including 

airframe, cameras, airborne electronics, pilots, and 

life support. Each contract line item identifies 

funding required for the IDEALIST program, and that 

required for our share in items in which we have a 

common interest with the DRAGON LADY program. Where 

possible, we have identified costs applicable to U-2C 

and/or U-2R aircraft. 

c. Maintenance Technicians comprise one category 

which covers all maintenance technicians from all contractors.

3. The revised General Research & Development (Aircraft) 

FY-69 budget totals $14.615 million (Attachment B) as compared 

to the original estimate of $8.700 million, a net increase of 

$5.915 million. OSA's portion of the revised R&D program 

amounts to $7.965 million (Attachment B-1), and ORD's portion 

amounts to $6.650 million (Attachment B-2).

t'!EW EQUIPMENT 

" Listed below are the items we feel must be funded during 

fiscal year 1969. A careful review of the status of the 

development of systems for which funding was requested in 

our previous submission indicates that Systems l3D, 21, and 

23 will not complete flight testing until FY 1970. Hence, 

the request for funds for these systems is being deferred 

until 1970. Systems 6C and 9E should complete flight testing 

during FY 1969 and funding for these systems is requested 

herein. 

The funding for the "HI! Cameras is for the complete purchase although delivery of these three items would not be 

completed until FY 70. If partial funding were to be considered, 

then $1.234M would satisfy FY 69 requirements. Funding for 

three lightweight "B" Cameras is requested to offset anticipated 

attrition.

Following the initial studies of FY-68 , an

tested in existing airborne hardware. (Under 

conditions of heavy atmospheric haze, variations in exposure requirements from vertical 

to 750 off flight path often exceed the exposure 

latitude of the film being used. This study 

will explore the feasibility of applying a new 

filtering technique to the solution of this 

problem, allowing accurate exposures in the 

presence of varying conditions of solar azimuth, 

background scatter and camera pointing angles.)

REVISED FY-69 BUDGET PROPOSAL 

SUMMARY 

I. Aircraft Sensors 

A. High Resolution Infrared Reconnaissance Systems 

The lack of significant funding toward the 1/50 

mrad scanner in FY 68 will delete the requirement for 

aircraft installation and flight test funding in FY 69 

(as previously recommended). However, this Office 

will continue to recommend that the 1/50 mrad scanner 

development be initiated, and toward that end the $2000K 

for the 1/50 mrad scanner development, from the FY 68 

recommendations, are now transferred to the FY 69 recommendations. (It is assumed $lOOK for a design study 

will be approved during FY 68.) The remaining recommendations in the IR program -- continuing support for 

IR research, extended development of multiple detector 

techniques and real time viewers, and a moving-target 

indicator program - have not changed since last submitted and remain at $1,600K. 

(Original Budget Estimate $2.600) Revised Estimate $ 3.600K", 

In all other ORD project areas, no additional changes 

are recommended. These are repeated here in brief: 

B. Multi-Spectral Photography 

C. Low Light Level Reconnaissance Systems 

D. Image Processing/Data Reduction 

E. Materials Research (600K ORD; 150K OSA 

originally budgeted 750K) 

L. Multisensor Systems
