(U)  Collection  Evaluation  Program 
4Q  ^  The  results  of  the  initial  test  of  the  collection 
evaluation  system  were  received  during  this  period.  .  This 
test  run  involved  some  200  documents  and  approximately  3,000 
individual  items  of  information. .  As  a  result  of  deficiencies 
uncovered  in  this  testing,  a  number  of  basic  changes  in  the 
system,  both  in  the  format  of  documents  and  in  the  method  of 
handling  information,  have  been  made.   The  revised  program 
has  received  tentative  approval. 
The  computer  program  for  combining  electronically 
the  collection  management  data  with  the  analytical  inputs  and 
storage  in  a  form  suitable  for  rapid  manipulation  is  underway. . 
This  programming  is  being  performed  by  the  Directorate  of  Data 
Systems  and  Statistics  (AFASC) .   As  soon  as  this  program  has 
progressed  to  a  point  where  a  reasonably  accurate  completion 
date  can  be  forecast,  the  system  will  be  placed  in  effect 
gradually  in  order  to  permit  maximum  indoctrination  of  indi- 
vidual analysts  as  the  program  progresses.   Data  will  be 
stored  in  documentary  or  punched  paper  tape  form  until  the 
computer  program  is  completed,  at  which  time  the  information 
can  be  combined  and  stored  on  magnetic  tape.   It  is  antici- 
pated that  initial  implementation  of  the  system  will  commence 
in  the  first  quarter  of  Fiscal  Year  62.   Assessment  will  be
made  of  the  potential  value  and  impact  of  this  system  on  Air 
Force  collection  capabilities  toward  the  end  of  Fiscal  Year 
1962. 
(U)  Summary  of  Short  Term  Aerospace  Intelligence  Requirements 
(STAIRS)  Activity 
During  this  period  559  STAIRS  were  received  with 
490  validated  and  forwarded  for  collection  action.   The  re- 
maining number  were  processed  in  production  centers  for  read- 
out, issued  as  guidance,  or  returned  as  being  duplicative. 
^[  H&  4**2  STAIRs  were  served  on  field  elements  for  col- 
lection  action  and  627  STAIRs  were  cancelled.   As  of  30  June 
1961  the  number  of  STAIRs  outstanding  for  collection  action 
was  362. 
(Unci)  On  21  April  1961,  AF  Regulation  200-15  was  dis- 
tributed, prescribing  the  new  Air  Intelligence  Report  format, 
AF  Form  112  and  112a,  effective  1  July  1961.   Through  this 
action  the  Air  Force  joined  forces  with  the  Department  of 
Array  and  the  Central  Intelligence  Agency  in  using  a  common 
Intelligence  Report  format  -  a  goal  touched  off  in  December 
1955  with  the  establishment  of  a  Working  Group  under  the 
direction  of  the- Committee  on  Documentation,  United  States 
Intelligence  Board  (CODIB) . 
(U)  Revision  of  PAIR-1  and  CAIR-1 
!Hfl|  The  first  change  to  the  January  1961  edition 
of  Priority  Aerospace  Intelligence  Requirement  (PAIR-1) ,
( 
Soviet  Missiles  and  Astronautics,  was  disseminated.   The 
change  reflects  the  addition  of^ 
The  PAIR-1  change  schedule  will  be 
responsive  to  the  monthly  additions  to  and/or  deletions 
from  the  Air  Force  Intelligence  Center  (AFIC)  site  list. 
P)  A  quarterly  revision,  consisting  of 
(U)  Staff  Duty  Section 
(Unci)  As  a  direct  result  of  the  implementation  of  the 
High  Tide  survey,  mentioned  in  the  previous  report,  person- 
nel allocations  for  this  function  were  discontinued.   The 
function  itself  is  maintained  by  desigating  specified  per- 
sonnel within,  the  Directorate  of  Collection  to  be  available 
during  off-duty  periods  and  to  report  to  the  USAF  Indications 
Center  several  hours  early  each  duty  day.   This  procedure 
has  enabled  the  Directorate  of  Collection  to  continue  its 
quick  capability  during  non-duty  hours.
(U)  Central  Intelligence  Agency  (CIA)  Liaison  Office 
(U)  National  Intelligence  Directives 
MH0)  During  this  period,  the  Human  Resources  Branch 
has  been  successful  in  bringing  about  changes  in  certain 
National  Intelligence  Directives  (DCID  2/3  and  2/8)  which 
broaden  the  scope  of  Air  Force  participation  by  authorizing
a  priority  claim  for  exploiting  certain  types  of  sources 
having  air  intelligence  collection  potential. 
(U)  US-USSR  Exchanges 
(U)  Conferences 
(U)  Space  Detection  and  Tracking  Program 
(Secret)  In  January  a  conference  was  chaired  by  the 
North  American  Air  Defense  Command  (NORAD)  to  consolidate 
all  user  requirements  for  the  NORAD  Space  Detection  and 
Tracking  System  (SPADATS) .   The  Human  Resources  Branch
participated  in  this  action  which  was  specified  by  the 
Secretary  of  Defense  when  he  gave  operational  control  of 
the  system  to  CINCNORAD.   The  resulting  paper  was  coordina- 
ted with  all  participating  agencies  including  Arn»y,  Navy 
and  the  specified/unified  commands.   This  paper  formed  the 
basis  for  a  development  and  funding  plan  for  the  system 
which  will  center  about  an  electronically  steerable  antenna 
array  radar.   Intelligence  requirements  were  prepared  by 
AFC IN  and  approved  by  US IB.   They  reflect  US  intelligence 
community  needs  and  are  now  totally  contained  in  the  NORAD 
system  requirements  document. 
The  AFCIN  chaired  Space  Surveillance  Intelli- 
gence Support  Committee  succeeded  in  its  efforts  to  imple- 
ment action  that  would  produce  a  Space  Surveillance  facili- 
ties catalog 
The  Survey  inputs 
will  be  compiled  on  punch  cards  by  the  Office  of  the  Secretary 
of  Defense/Director  of  Defense  Research  &  Engineering  (OSD/ 
DDR&E)  and  will  form  the  basis  for  a  future  study  to  identi- 
fy gaPs  aad  to  recommend  utilization  of  suitable  facilities 
appropriate  to  Space  Surveillance  tasks.
The  Air  Force  portion  of  the  Sensor  Facility 
Survey  requested  by  DOD  and  monitored  by  AFCIN  for  Air  Force 
was  completed  by  June  of  1961  with  the  receipt  of  pertinent 
questionnaires  from  Air  Force  Systems  Command  (AFSC). 
(flMPMp  Representatives  of  AFCIN,  Air  Force  Missile 
Test  Center  (AFMTC) ,  Aeronautical  Systems  Division  (ASD) , 
and  National  Space  Surveillance  Control  Center  (NSSCC)  met 
several  times  to  discuss  actions  necessary  to  improve  the 
capability  to  photograph  earth  satellites  from  ground  bases 
stations.   Discussions  chiefly  concerned  the  limitations  of 
the  mobile  Boston  University  Camera.   The  Human  Resources 
Branch  summarized  these  discussions  and  staffed  the  comments 
and  recommendations  in  order  to  obtain  an  ACS/Intelligence 
policy  decision  on  the  utilization  for  AFCIN  purposes  of 
transportable  ground  based  photographic  devices  in  connec- 
tion with  in-flight  Earth  Satellite  Vehicle  (ESV)  photography. 
(U)  Defector  Program
(U)    National   Photographic   I  nter pr e  tat  ion  Center    (NPIC) 
In  accordance   with  provisions  of 
and 
(regarding  the  military  services*  participation 
'in  the  NPIC,  USAF  was  tasked  to  support  the  NPIC  with  25  per- 
sonnel.   The  Directorate  of  Collection  was  made  the  project 
office  and  action  was  initiated  in  February  to  obtain  the
spaces.   A  decision  was  made  by  ACS/ Intelligence  to  have  AFIC 
operationally  control  this  USAF  NPIC  detachment.   Due  to  man- 
power ceiling  at  AFIC,  the  25  NPIC  spaces  when  obtained  would 
be  held  in  the  Central  Control  Group.   As  of  the  end  of  FY  61, 
these  spaces  had  not  been  provided  but  action  is  still  in 
progress.   In  the  interim,  AFIC  has  loaned  three  persons  to 
the  AF  NPIC  detachment  and  three  officers  have  been  transferred 
in  advance  of  space  allocations.   Indications  are  that  the  spaces 
will  be  identified  by  mid-July  1961.   Of  the  25  personnel, 
The  photo  interpreters  will  be  phased  in 
over  an  approximate  one  year  period.   Aggressive  action  is 
being  taken  to  insure  that  USAF  participation  in  the  NPIC 
fis  expedited.
