RESEARCH ORGANIZATION OF THE ARMED FORCES SF.cURITY AG»lCY 

The following report has been prepared at· the request or the Director or 

the Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA) to assist in a revision of the AFSA 

organization in order the ·greater ernphasis may be placed on problems of a 

scientific and research nature. Increased emphasis on research was recommended 

by the Special Co~nications Advisory Group (SCAG). "Pie final re~ort ~f this 

group dated 12 March 1952 stated: , 

.. "It is SCAG's firm opinion that a strong basis research program is of 

great importance in supportin~ developmental and operational work of AFSA and 

that a separate basic research organization should be set up. Research should 

be kpe separate from d~velopment and operations with personnel and facility 

assignments which cannot be infringed upon by developrrent and operational requirements. 11 

This opinion was supported by the AFSA Executive Group for SCAG on 16 April 

1952 as follows : 

"The AFSA Executive Group unanimously supports the SCAO recoJl'll'l!endation in 

regard to the separation or research from development, including the transfer of 

the "applied research" now conducted in the Office of Operations to the Office 

of Research." 

At the first meeting of a committee formed to revise the AFSA research 

organization on 6 May 1952: 

11The Committee decided that the most feasible course of action would be 

to assign to one person the responsibility of preparing a· recom11:ended organization and functions along with a corrplete description of methods of operation and 

relations with other AFSA units. 11 

Cr-r ____ .,_ r-ar-• 
.REFID:A70072 --

This report does not constitute a complete description of nethods of 

operation and relations with other AFSA units, but rather attempts to set up 

the basic elements of the o~ganization and define relationships with other 

A~SA units at the most critical points. Thus the report should be regarded as 

.a working paper or perhaps a s~eleton to which detailed structure may be added. 

In the preparation of the report, opinions expressed by $CAG members 

have been incorporated insofar as practicable. 

OBJECTIVE: 

In setting up the proposed Office of Research as well as the position 

of Technical Director, the objectives of the reorganiza~ion rrust be considered. 

AFSA is faced with technical problems of great complexity which require the 

application of scienti!ic methods of a most advanced nature. l''urthermore, 

these problems are in many respects peculiar to AFSA so that the Director of 

AFSA cannot rely completely upon, other agencies, Government or private, for 

their solution. Although AFSA is presently carrying out a minimum amount of . . resea~ch in connectidn with its research and development program, the reorganization has been proposed to attain the following objectives: 

/ 

1. To ensure that AFSA has a strong research staff which is capable of 

bringing to bear the most advanced scientific principles to AFSA 

·problems. 

2. To develop and implement long-range plans for the technical advanc~-

ment of AFSA. 

.3. To maintain an atmosphere which will ensure a continuing supply 

or highly qualified scientific personnel. 

The primary reason for the separation of research from development is to 

provide the research personnel fr~edom from ooerational pressures and hence . . 

with the opportunity :for consi~ering problems from along term point of vi~. 

It further· has the advantage of per~ttinp, ~he Office of Development to pursue 

projects from a strictly engineering point of view once the :functional · 

- 2 - 5EiCF~E1' 
Sc:eR=T 

SECURHY \NfORMA1\QN 

~REF ID:A70072 

characteristics have been established. 

' 

Although in certain cases there may be questions as to whether certain projects should be placed under research or development the general distinction should 

be clear. The Office of Development deals with en~ineering and desi~n problems 

leading to specific equipment while the Office of Research deals with :eneral 

problFtl1S leading towards increased knowledge or basic design principles. For 

certain problems within AFSA it !TBY be advisable to carry on parallel work in the 

Office of Operations and the Office of Research, the former concentrating on the 

solution of the specific problem with the latter concentrating on eeneral 

techniques applicable to the specific problems and others of the same general 

category. 

This paper contains a general description of the responsibilities of the AFSA 

Senior Technical Director and the functions of the proposed Office of Research. 

In considering the branches of the Office of Research, opinions e~ressed by SCAG 

members have been incorporated. With regard to the Operations Research Dranch, 

little detail has been given. This field is a highly specialized one and some one 

with direct eJ<perience in the field such as.Dr. Robertson of \"15En should be 

consulted. No discu::s:knhas been included concerning the Office of Development 

since this office would continue as present with the transfer of its research 

activities. The organization of this office as recently proposed seems in line 

with the establishment of the new Office of Research. 

Attached to the report are suggested organization charts, an estimate of 

personnel requirements. These personnel requirements are not completely over 

and above present complements, since some of the activities are bein~ carried out 

by present personnel. Further study would be required to determine the actual 

increase in the AFSA conplement inplied by the establishment of the new otfice.

be filled only ~fter careful review of the qualifications of prospective 

candidates. The position is one of great :i.Jrp,ortance and sho~ld not be filled 

i:rranediately unless a person of exceptional qualifications presents biJ11Self. 

After appointment of the Senior Technical Director, it is probable ~hat 

the service functions of both the Office of Research and the Office of 

Development should be combined under his direct cognizance insofar as practicable 

in order that the directors of these offices be able to concentrate on scientific 

and engineering matters. 

OFFICE OF RESEARCH 

The Office of Research is established in order that .\FSA may be in a pos~tion 

to apply the most advanced scientific techniques to the solution of its current. 

and. future problems. The Office of Research is segregated o~ganizationally fron1 

the Office of Developnent and the Office of Operations in order that its scientific 

staff be able to carry out a program of long range significance uninterrupted by 

the operational pressures of the Office of Operations or the urgent requirements 

for the development of specific equipment in the Offic~ of Developrrent. However, the Office of Research will be expected to assist the other offices of AFSA

increasingly acute with the introduction of new conputing equipment utilizing 

various· forirs of input and output. It is therefore felt that the subjeet 

warrants a spec~l branch in the Division of Computer -!lese~ch. The head of 

the branch will set up a long range program pointed toward eventual standardization. It is estimated that 6 people will be required. 

DIVISION OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH 

The scientific method called operations research developed as a recognized 

activity in response to the military needs of World War II where it was known 

variously as operations analysis or evaluation and weapons system evaluation. 

"Operations research is a scientific method of providing executive d~artments 

with a Quantitative basis for decisions regarding the operations under their 

1 control." The method proved successful in many cases. Admiral King states "Operations research bringing scientists in to analyz~ the technical impact of the 

fluctuations between measure and countermeasure nade it possible to speed up 

our reaction rate in several critical cases. 112 

AFSA has a variety of problems which ~ be susceptible to this scientific 

method. Examples are: 

l. Evaluation of communications intelligence as ~gainst jamming and 

countermeasures.

SECRET SEi6aRM INP0RMl'PION 

MEMCRANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF 

SUBJECT: Comments on the attached Engstrom Study 

1. Although, I am not too familiar with the C<J4:INT research problem, 

this proposal seems to place basic research too far away from operations. 

The breakdown of research functions is good. However it could be better 

handled if administratively a part of the Office of Operations. 

2. This study practically ignores Communication Security. Although 

its applicability on COOEC is apparent. The -effect of such an organization 

on CCMSEC would be considerable. Tltj.s paper does not say where the new 

COMSEC equipnent division of the Office of Development wuld get its guidance. 

Presumably, guidance would come froDt_ the Office of Research and not the 

Office of Communication Security. This would not be acceptable as equipment 

would be developed on security ideak only, and the Office of Communication 

Security would lose completely the ground it has gained in basing development on operational requirements and user needs as well as security objectives. 

3. In the proposed organizatiOilJ care must be taken in order that we 

trulJ" expand our research activity and not- merely reshuffle essentially the 

same crew we already have. ·

" r·\l Office • UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT 

TO Chief, Office of COMS!X:: DATE: 18 July 1952 

FROM Planning Group, Mr. T. R. Chittenden 

SUBJECT: Comments on Proposed Reorganization of the Research & Development 

Activity of AFSA 

1. ~fllaaem with Ml'. Attsb±n's ee1aeats--~ --this study does not take into 

considera.tion the COMSEC problem and for that reason must be considered as incomplete 

in its anal.ysis of the problem of reorganizing the research and development activity 

of AFSA. 

2. I propose that instead of taking an action which is designed to increase the 

actual research and development staff of AFSA that consideration be given to the 

following idea. 

Instead of attempting to gather together a large and 

relatively expensive research staff within the government, 

let us focus our actions and thinking on the means for using 

the research facilities and the research brains which are available in 

the universities and the commercial. institutions of this country. 

3. There are two principa1 advantages to be gained from expanding our use of 

outside research facilities as opposed to expanding the staff and research facilities 

within AFSA. 

a. The first is that the use of research organizations outside the government would provide more opportunities to take advantage of scientific 

developments in other fields and to exchange di scientific information. 

This latter goes on freely among research people and scientists 'Who are 

not hemmed in by security regulations. Security regu.la.tions are needed 

when specific scientific principles are applied to AFSA's_specific 

problems but are not needed, in fact have a stultifying effect upon,. 

pure research into basic scientific principles. In other words, I doubt 

that in pure research work there would be very much classified information either brought to light or revea1ed by the exchange of data with other 

scientists engaged in similar lines of' research. Certainly this Agency 

has benefited from the research work that has been done outside the 

government, at least outside this Agency, in the field of digital computers. 

It is the application of the computer to a military problem and the results 

which are achieved which are classified, not the fact that a computer is 

able to function in such and such a manner. Therefore, I think tha:t more 

in:f'ormation would become available to the Agency and that the efforts and 

products of more people engaged in related lines of research could be 

applied by the staff within AFSA to the specific problems which AFSA faces.

TO Chief', Office of' COMSEC DATE: 18 July 1952 

FROM Planning Groilp' Mr. T. R. Chittenden 

SUBJECT: Comments on Proposed Reorganization of the Research & Development 

Activity of' .AFSA (Continued) 

b. The second is that we have seen through years of' experience in the field of 

cryptology the difficulty which the government has in interesting sufficient 

numbers of' qua1if'ied research people to enter this very restricted field 

and to stay with it for a suf'f'icient length of time to be of value. The 

Agency does not pay enough money nor does it otter euf'f'icient opportunity 

for recognition in a scientific field to lure high calibre research 

scientists to come into the Agency and bury themselves behind the walls 

of' regulations which have been put up to maintain security. Actually, it 

is ex_pecting too much of a man to expect that he would cut himself of'f 

voluntarily :from the scientific field in which he is most interested end 

in which he has been trained. How many good research minds have been 

killed in this Agency and how many more have we scared of'f' from ever 

assisting the government simply because of the unbelievely inept method 

of handling them as people and particularly as scientists1 I believe it 

is a waste of talent which the nation no longer can afford. · 

4. With respect to the idea of' an AFSA Senior Technical Director, I do not 

believe that AFSA is ready for a technical director of' the sort described herein. 

AFSA is not properly organized to make use of the talents of' such a man. Unless 

there is a fundamenta1 change in the manner in which the Agency is supervised 

and a change in the source of direction, then there is no place for a Senior 

Technical Director. I do not believe that the present Technical Director of' the 

Agency, or f'or that matter, any of the Technical Directors of' the Offices have 

actually functioned as the two words imply, namely, directing the technical activity. 

It certainly did not work out during the time Dr. Sinkov was the Technical Director 

of AFSA-04. Thie Agency started off with a. philosophy that the key positions in 

the Agency, particularly the ones involving policy making and decision making, should 

be m.ili tary. Al though ve have been told that this philosophy is no longer being 

followed, there has not been a sharp change to the contrary. The Technical Director 

must have the power of decision. If he does not ha:ve then he is a technica.l adviser 

and not a director. If' this is so, he should be called such, and should be responsible 

only for giving advice and not, as is implied in this paper, for directing the 

technical effort of the organization. Therefore, to bring about technical direction 

from the type of man which the paper outlines there must be an organizational change 

Yi thin AFSA of' greater magnitude than is outlined in this paper. Until the Technical 

Director of the Agency is given the power of decision over the principal technical 

programs and a voice in formulating the basic administra.tive policy of' the Agency, 

then he cannot be the man to charge with the responsibility f'or ensuring that the 

Agency has a continuing and adequate staff to meet the technical problems of' AFSA. 

He could not actually supervise the operations of any of' the technical offices 

until he has the power to decide, not merely advise.

SUBJECT: Comments on Proposed Reorganization of the Research & Development

5. I firmly believe that the principe1 AFSA approach as far as the problem 

of research is concerned shou1d not be one in which AFSA attempts to do the 

research itself or ett~ts to build up a tremendous staff which would assure 

independent research, but to marshe1 and manage the research potential which is 

available in the nation for work of the type we are interested in. In other 

words, let us truly expand our research activity and not merel.y reshuffle 

essentially the same crew that we al.ready have.

DR. WILLIAM F. FRIEDMAN, Consultant 

Department of Defense 

Armed Forces Security Agency Washington 25, D.C. 

Reference: 00435, 26 June 1952 

Dear Dr. Friedman: 

Since I do not plan to be in Washington soon my comments on the proposed reorganization are as below: 

1. 

2. 

3. 

Dr. Engstrom has rounded this proposal up in 

excellent fashion and any other thoughts I have 

to offer are on the second-order side. 

Some of the words concerning the function of 

the Office of Research (pages 5 and 6) stress 

"assistance" to other offices and research to 

support n current" needs. Interpreted improperly this could put the Office of Research in the 

position of a service group. To operate successfully their first responsibility must, of course, 

be the solution of tomorrow's problems rather 

than today's. Assistance on current problems should not.be left out of the specification. But it is hoped the words used will be interpreted properly by future Senior Technical 

Directors and Directors of Research. 

Under the Division of Mathematioal Research a 

first responsility might perh~ps be similar to 

that of Mathematical Research here in Bell 

Laboratories. This is improvement of mathematical 

tools and extension of mathematical concepts as 

applied to the specialized fields or interest. 

While our Mathematical Research Department is not 

a service group it dev.otes a sizeable part of its 

effort to current problems in order to determine 

where mathematical research is needed. 
• 

'• 

--

Dr. William F • Friedman - 2 

I find no reference to a field1esearch that 

is gaining wide attention in b&th industrial 

and service laboratories. It has various 

names such as "Human Engineering", "Equipment Use Studies", "User Preference", .or. simply "Psychological Resea~ch". And it is concerned 

with fitting the characteristics of machines 

to those of humans in order to realize the best 

overall results. There ~re many ways in which 

a good research team of this type could contribute substantially to your program. I would 

suggest that the group be headed by a competent experimental psychologist with a suf,~icient 

knowledge of electronic equipment, to discuss 

with others concerned the broader problems of 

design that arise in human-machine relationships. The group should pref erabl' include a first class 

electronics engineer with psychological interests 

and ultimately, seYeral technical assistants 

(possibly some girls) with formal training in 

experimental psychology. These technical assistants 

would be responsible for the necessary routine 

tests. A good example of such a group in the 

Service area is that under Dr. Arnold Small at 

N.E.L. in San Diego. An example of an industrial 

group is that under Dr. John Karlin in Bell 

Laboratories. On your proposed organization chart the logical place for such a group would 

seem to be under Operat~ons Research. 

Sincerely yours,

RESEARCH ORGANIZATION OF THE ARMED FOR.CES SECURITY AGENCY 

The following report has been prepared at the request of the Director of 

the Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA) to assist in a revision of the AFSA 

organization in order the greater emphasis may be placed on problems of a 

scientific and research nature. Increased emphasis on research was recommended 

by the Special ColllITllnications Advisory Group (SCAG). The final report of this 

group dated 12 March 1952 stated: 

11 It is SCAG 1s firm opinion that a strong basis research program is of 

great importance in supporting developmental and operational work of AFSA and 

that a separate basic research organization should be set up. Research should 

be kpe separate from development and operations with personnel and facility 

assignments which cannot be infringed upon by developIJEnt and operational requirements." 

This opinion was supported by the .AFSA Executive Group for SCAG on 16 April 

1952 as follows: 

"The .AFSA Executive Group unanimously supports the SCAG recommendation in 

regard to the separation of research from development, including the transfer of 

the "applied research" now conducted in the Office of Operations to the Office 

of Research." 

At the first meeting of a committee formed to revise the AFSA research 

organization on 6 May 1952: 

"The Committee decided that the most feasible course of action would be 

to assign to one person the responsibility of preparing a recommended organization and functions along with a corrplete description of methods of operation and 

relations with other AFSA units. 11

e REF ID :A70072 • 

This report does not constitute a conplete description of methods of 

operation and relations with other AFSA units, but rather attempts to set up 

the basic elements of the organization and define relationships with other 

AFSA units at the most critical points. Thus the report should be regarded as 

a working paper or perhaps a skeleton to which detailed structure may be added. 

In the preparation of the report, opinions expressed by SCAG members 

have been incorporated insofar as practicable. 

OBJECTIVE: 

In setting up the proposed Office of Research as well as the position 

of Technical Director, the objectives of the reorganization nust be considered. 

AFSA is faced with technical problems of great conplexity wh_ich require the 

application of scientific methoda of a most advanced nature. Furthermore, 

these problems are in many respects peculiar to AFSA so that the Director of 

AFSA cannot rely completely upon other agencies, Government or private, for 

their solution. Although AFSA is presently carrying out a ndnimum amount of 

research in connection with its research and development program, the reo~ganization has been proposed to attain the following objectives: 

1. To ensure that AFSA has a strong research staff which is capable of 

bringing to bear the most advanced scientific principles to AFSA 

problems. 

2. To develop and irrplement long-range plans for the technical advancement of AFSA. 

3. To maintain an atmosphere which will ensure a continuing supply 

of highly qualified scientific personnel. 

The primary reason for the separation of research from development is to 

provide the research personnel freedom from operational pressures and hence 

with the opportunity for considering problems from along term point of view. 

It further has the advantage of permitting the Office of Development to pursue 

projects from a strictly engineering point of view once the functional 

- 2 - SECREl~. 
v 

SECRET 

-SECURffY \NF ORMAl\00 

REF ID:A70072 

characteristics have been established. 

Although in certain cases there may be questions as to whether certain projects should be placed under research or development the general distinction should 

be clear. The Office of Development deals with engineering and design problems 

leading to specific equipment while the Office of Research deals with general 

problEmS leading tm-rards increased knowledge or basic design principles. For 

certain problems within AFSA it nay be advisable to carry on parallel work in the 

Office of Operations and the Office of Research, the former concentrating on the 

solution of the specific problem with the latter concentrating on general 

techniques applicable to the specific problems and others of the same general 

category. 

This paper contains a general description of the responsibilities of the AFSA 

Senior Technical Director and the functions of the proposed Office of Research~ 

In considering the branches of the Office of Research, opinions e:xpressed by SCAG 

members have been incorporated. With regard to the Operations Research Branch, 

little detail has been given. This field is a highly specialized one and some one 

with direct e:xperience in the field such as Dr. Robertson of WSEG should be 

consulted. No discaffi:knhas been included concerning the Office of Development 

since this office would continue as present with the transfer of its research 

activities. The organization of this office as recently proposed seems in line 

with the establishment of the new Office of Research. 

Attached to the report are suggested organization charts, an estimate of 

personnel requirements. These personnel requirements are not completely over 

and above present complements, since some of the activities are being carried out 

by present personnel. Further study would be required to determine the actual 

increase in the AFSA complement implied by the establishment of the new office.

AFSA SENIOR TECHNICAL DIRECTOR 

The Senior Technical Director has the following responsibilities: 

1. Planning the AFSA research program and implementing approved 

plans. 

2. Planning the AFSA development program and implerenting approved plans. 

). Carrying out special studies and projectsfor the other offices of 

AFSA insofar as he deems it practicable. 

4. Ensuring a continuing corrpetent scientific staff to carry out the 

research and development needs of AFSA. 

5. Supervising the operations of the Office of Research and the Office 

of Development. 

The Senior Technical Director will be supported by the Director of Research 

and the Director of Development. He should work closely with the technical 

directors of AFSA-02 and AFSA-04 in planning and in implementing the research 

and development program. The Senior Technical Director will strive to keep 

the Office of Research primarily engaged in its long-range program but will 

also have the responsibility of ensuring that the research program is of 

rri.axilTDlm assistance to the other offices of A.FSA. He will have the authority 

of final decision in matters concerning special projects to be undertaken by 

the Office of Research at the request of AFSA. The qualifications which 

the Senior Technical Director should possess are as follows: 

1. He should have advanced scientific training, PhD or equivalent. 

2. He should have at least 15 years experience in planning and 

implementing research and develop~ent programs.

Defense. 

6. He should ha~e contacts with university and industrial research 

as well as general engineering developments. 

7. He should be familiar with general technical advances throughout 

the country. 

The position of Senior Technical Director should be rated as GS-17 

or higher. It is reco:mrnended that the poSB:i.tion of Senior Technical Director 

be filled only after careful review of the qualifications of pro~pective 

candidates. The position is one of great irrq:>ortance and should not be filled 

immediately unless a person of exceptional qualifications presents himself. 

After.appointment of the Senior Technical Director, it is probable that 

the service functions of both the Office of Research and the Office of 

Development should be combined under his direct cognizance insofar as practicable 

in order that the directors of these offices be able to concentrate on scientific 

and engineering matters. 

OFFICE OF RESEARCH 

The Office of Research is established in order that AFSA may be in a position 

to apply the most advanced scientific techniques to the solution of its current 

and future problems. The Office of Research is segregated organizationally from 

the Office of Developrrent and the Office of Operations in order that its scientific 

staff be able to carry out a program of long range significance uninterrupted by 

the operational pressures of the Office of Operations or the urgent requirements 

for the development of specific equipment in the Office of Developnent. However, the Office of Research will be expected to assist the other offices of A.FSA 

on specific problems whenever the Senior Technical Director or the Director of

meet current and future needs of AFSA. 

2. Izrplementing approved plans. 

3. Provide assistance for other offices of AFSA as determined practicable 

by the Senior Technical Director. 

4. Takes measures to ensure a continuing expert staff. 

5. Administers the affairs of the Office of Research. 

The Director of Research should have the following qualifications:

3. He should have familiarity with scientific research at university, 

government and industrial laboratories. 

4. He should have experience in government research,particularly in 

connection with the Department of Defense. 

Because of his broad responsibilities and, the wide scope of activities 

under his direction the Director of Research should be rated as GS-16. 

The Office of Research includes an Administrative Group sufficient for 

administering the affairs of the Office. 

Assistance in connection with- monitoring research contracts will be 

required. However, it is considered that general administration will be provided by the staff of the Senior Technical Director when available in order 

that the major attention of the Director of Research may be f~cused on technical 

matters. A staff of 5 people should suffice for his administrative needs.

A technical library is a most important tool for the research worker. 

It is probable that the technical library should be transferred from the Office 

of Development to the Office of Research when practicable. 

A services group mu.st be maintained for such laboratory facilities as the 

Office of Research may require. It is estimated that 10 people will be required 

for this purpose. 

The Office of Research will include four divisions: 

1. Division of Mathema.ticial Research 

2. Division of Physical Research 

3. Division of Computer Research 

4. Division of Operations Research 

DIVISION OF MATHEMATICAL RESEARCH 

The increasing complexity of the problems facing AFSA has :rrade it necessary 

to attack some of them by mathematical and statistical methods of a high degree 

of sophistication. The division of ma.thenatical research will maintain a staff 

of skilled rrathema.ticians to meet the needs of AFSA in this field. Although 

it rray be necessary for other offices of AFSA to retain some·ma.thernaticians for 

their day to day problems it is expected that questions which are essentially 

mathema.tical or statistical will be referred to this division. 

The head of the division will set up a long range program of research on 

those aspects of rna.thema.tics and statistics which will provide AFSA with its required support in the field. 

The qualifications·of the head of the division are as follows: 

1. He should have advanced training in ma.thematics and statistics, PhD 

or equivalent. 

2. He should have experience in directing research programs in mathema.tics.

The division will maintain branches as follows: 

MATHE~ATICS BRANCH 

The Mathematics Branch will carry out a continuing program in the special 

branches of mathematics which are of i:rrportance to AFSA. The head of the branch 

will maintain contact with the general field by keeping familiar with current research 

at other establishments. Statistical studies of language as well as code and cipher 

phenomena will be pursued. The branch will continue to investigate such general 

fields as matrix approximation theory, cyclic structure of sequences, logical 

implication with particular reference to AFSA probler.is. It is estimated that this 

branch will ultimately require 20 people. 

CRYPTANALYTIC BRANCH 

The-CrYJ>tanalytic Branch will carry out a continuing program of investigation in cr:yptanalytic methods. The head of the branch will maintain familiarity 

with current and past methods in order that the work of the branch be most 

effectively directed towards probable future AFSA problems. A continuing program 

of studies will be maintained on such general problems as wiring recovery in 

cipher.ma.chines, e:xploitation methods for :ma.chine ciphers, additive recovery. 

The work should include investigation of methods of call sign analysis. It is 

estimated that this branch will ultimately require 10 people. 

CRYPTOLOGIC BRANCH 

The Cryptologic Branch will carry out a continuing program in privacy methods 

including ciphony and cifax. The head of the branch will rraintain familiarty

of key generation, speech privacy systems, additive generation. The work should 

include studies of call sign systems as well as methods of identification and 

arithematication. Personnel requirements for this branch are estimated at 10 

people. 

SPECIAL TASK BRANCH 

- . 

The Special Task Branch is established primarily in order to carry out special 

programs for other offices of AFSA although certain special tasks may well originate within the Office of Research. Such special tasks must have the approval 

~ of the Senior Technical Director and the Director of Research. A typical task 

I 

might be the assignment of some aspects of special cryptanalytical problems 

from the Office of Operations for examination from a research point of view. The 

special task branch will operate in many cases on a task force basis with assistance 

from personnel in other branches of the Office of Research as well as other 

divisions of AFSA. It is estimated that the Special Task Branch will require a 

~ staff of 6 people. 

DIVISION OF PHYSICAL RESEARCH 

AFSA bas a variety of requirements which require research in fields such as 

computers to operate at very high frequencies; analysis of radio wave forms; 

propagation phenomena antenna design; special recording tecbri:i.qu~s. Some of 

these problerns require advances in fundamental physics. Although a great deal 

of research is now in progress in this area in connection with general communications, so~e of AFSA's requirements are of such a special nature that AFSA sponsorship of work in the field is necessary. It is expected that the head of the 

Division of Physical Research will set up a long range program of research in the

2. He should have experience in planning and directing research prograJT1.s. 

3. He should be familiar with current scientific advances in the 

physical sciences with particular references to electronics and 

col'lllTlllnications. 

It is expected that the head of the division will have the services of 

consultants who are experts in the required fields. 

The division will naintain branches as follows: 

COMPONENT RESEARCH ER.A.NCH 

The Component Research Branch will carry out a program of investigation of 

new components which have promise of being of future importance to AFSA. Research 

may be performed within the Branch or b:r outside contract. Examples are investigation of NHF computer components such as presently contemplated with the Corona 

group; investigation of static memory devices in connection with computer, circuits. 

It is expected that the Branch will assist the Office of Development in the 

specification of component techniques for future equipment. This branch is 

estinated to require about 15 people. 

ELECTRIC.AL RESEARCH BRANCH 

This branch will be responsible for planning and implementing a program of 

research in support of the radio, comnunications and intercept aspect of AFSS 1s 

problems. It will maintain contact with outside researches in the field supporting 

them when necessary by projects within the branch or by outside contract. Examples 

of projects which would be carried out by this branch are analyses of optimum

antenna design, methods of identification of radio waves, special recording 

techniques, propagation studies as required in connection with intercept 

activities. '.i.his branch is estimated to require 20 people. 

SYSTEMS BRANCH 

The Systems Branch will conduct continuing studies of problems concerning 

the physical techniques utilized in the collection, dissemination and analysis 

of RI material. It shall plan and implement a research program directed at 

.. systems which cannot efficiently resolve the manifold problems involved in worldwide communications networks. It will also consider problems related to location 

and integration of intercept activities. This branch is estinated to require 

10 people. 

DIVISION OF COMPUTER RESEARCH 

Much of AFSA's analytical work involves application of special electronic 

computing devices. The needs of AFSA in this field require application of most 

advanced techniques. The Division of Computer Research will set up a continuing 

program of analysis of co:rnputing techniques. It is expected that the head of 

the Division will be familiar with existing cornputation equipments and their 

capabilities. He will be consulted in connection with the functional design of 

all special co:rnputational equipment required by the other offices of AFSA. He 

will work closely with the head of the Mathematical Research Division. It is 

reco?rUnended that the Division of Computer Research operate a general purpose 

computer devoted exclusively to research purposes in the operation of which 

the Director of Research determines priorities. 

The Head of the Division of Computer Research should have the following 

qualifications: 

1. He should have advanced scientific training, PhD or equivalent. 

2. He should have 5 years experience in connection with the programming 

and operation of digital computing equiprnent.

and cr;yptographic processes •. 

4. He should be eJq>erienced in planning and implementing computer 

research programs. 

The Division will maintain branches as follOlvs: 

LOGICllL DESIGN BRANCH 

The Logical Design, Branch will carry out continuing studies of the basic 

analytical methods utilized in the computing problems of AFSA both in general 

purpose and special purpose equipment. It will carry out programming studies 

to determine optimum methods of carrying out computational problems ·ai existing 

equipment and will make recommendations in connection with the functional and 

logical design of proposed equipment. It will carry out special studies for other 

offices of AFSA in this general field when approved by the Senior Technical 

Director or the Director of Research. It will assist the Mathematical Research 

Division in prograJlll'lling and computing matters. It is estina ted that approxirrately 

10 people will be required in this branch. 

RESEARCH COMPUTER OPERATIONS BRANCH 

It is considered most irrportant that the Office of Research have an operating 

general purpose computer under its control. The Computer Operations Branch will 

operate this colll'uter. It will plan and illl'lement out a program of continuing 

studies in all matters of a research nature in connection with co:rrputer operations 

including studies of checking techniques, life studies, optimum methods of maintenance. It will carry out special studies for other offices of AFSA when approved 

by the Senior Technical Director or the Director of Research. It is estimated 

that l> people will be required by this branch.

AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT RESEARCH BRANCH 

Many problems of AFSA involve complete data handling systems. In this 

connection studies are required to determine functional characteristics of 

)"4J1:"'f~~ 

peripheral and translation Which will alter data forms in such a manner as to 

/\ 

be suitable for special machine processing. This peripheral equipment 

has not been given adequate attention in the past. These problems are becomming 

increasingly acute irl.th the introduction of new conputing equipment utilizing 

various forms of input and output. It is therefore felt that the subj·ect 

warrants a special branch in·the Division of Computer Research. The head of 

the branch will set up a long range program pointed toward eventual standardization. It is estimated that 6 people will be required. 

DIVISION OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH 

The scientific method called operations research developed as a recognized 

activity in response to the military needs of World War II where it was known 

variously as operations analysis or evaluation and weapons system evaluation. 

"Operations research is a scientific method of providing executive departments 

with a Quantitative basis for decisions regarding the operations under their 

l control. 11 The method proved successful in many cases. Admiral King states "Operations research bringing scientists in to analyze the technical impact of the 

fluctuations between measure and countermeasure ma.de it possible to speed up 

our reaction rate in several critical cases. 112 

AFSA has a variety of problems which ~r be susceptible to this scientific 

method. Examples are: 

1. Evaluation of communications intelligence as against ja.mming and 

countermeasures.

2. Evaluation of central processing vs. field processing. 

3. Intercept target evaluation. 

Operations research is in general carried out on a task force basis. It 

is recomm.eruted that a man with experience in this field be appointed to head 

the division and that he rely on personnel from other branches of the Office 

of Research to assist him in carrying out specific missions. The ultiJJBte 

personnel requirements for this division is estimated as approximately 5 

people. 

The requirements for the head of the division are as follows: 

1. He should have advanced scientific training, PhD degree 0r 

equivalent. 

2. He should have experience in the field of operations analysis. 

3. Military experience is required either direct or association with 

the Department of Defense. 

4. He should have had e:xperience on a supervisory level on scientific 

projects. 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESEARCH PROGRAM 

The establishment of a strong Office of Research within AFSA will take 

a number of years. However, certain steps toward this end can be taken now. 

The following measures are indicated: 

1. Establishment of an Office of Research and appointment of an acting 

Director of Research. The acting Director of Research will prepare 

with the assistance of management consultants a Table of Organization 

for the Division along lines suggested in this report. 

2. Transfer to the Office of Re~earch the present Ma.the:rrs.tical Research 

Division (34) of the Office of Research and Development.
