III - NAVAL WARFARE CAPABILITIES (NISC-00W) (U) CAPT V. K. Bowles continued as Head of NISC-OOW. Mr. Thomas Robinson, Deputy Head, was transferred to NISC-50 in February 1981. Mr. Ray Elliott became Acting Deputy as of that date and was selected for the position in November 1981. Other organizational changes included the reassignment of LCDR Wilbur Shepherd and the entry onboard of CDR Ed Walters and LT John Norseen. (U) During this period, 395 threat support taskings were completed and 17 threat assessments were produced in support of various program, projects or laboratory efforts. (U) NISC-OOW personnel presented 135 major briefings, attended 200 meetings, and were involved in 30 conferences/workshops/visits. The briefings were presented to OPNAV, NAVMAT, other members of the Intelligence Community, the General Accounting Office (GAO), and various Congressional/Senatorial staffs. (U) During the past year, the following four DIA Publications were disseminated: CH-1 to "The Soviet Naval Threat Circa 2000 (U)" "Soviet Threat to U.S. Naval Undersea Forces (STUF) (U)" "Soviet Threat to U.S. Naval Air Forces (STAF) (U)" "Soviet Threat to U.S. Naval Surface Forces (STSF) (U)" (U) The compilation of inputs to specific National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs) comprised another area of OOW production. During 1981, OOW personnel contributed substantive inputs to NIE 11-3/8, NIE 11-12, NIE 11-14 and NIE 13/7-81. (U) NWP 12-8, "The Threat Intelligence Summary for Naval Air Forces", was distributed to Fleet users in late 1981. This is the first time this publication has ever been issued. An update is planned fer late 1982. NWP 12-5, "The Tactical Action Officer Handbook", underwent a major revision which was issued to Fleet users in November 1981 as Rev. C. Beginning with NWP 12-5 (Rev. C) this publication will be updated quarterly by message and/or page change. (U) NISC-OOW continued coordination of the NISC Weekly Wire (Part 1 - Intelligence) production. Fifty-two Weekly Wires at the SECRET level and 22 supplements at a higher classification were produced during 1981. The popular reception of the Weekly Wire by the Fleets and multi-service shore commands continues. At the end of the year, addressees totaled 686 (257 shore commands and 429 mobile units). This total reflects a growth from the 651 total at the start of the year. (U) The Navy Member and Chairman of the DCI's Weapon and Space Systems Intelligence Committee's (WSSIC) China and Korea Seapower Panel (CKSP) continues to be a member of NISC-OOW. The CKSP is an Inter-Agency Panel with designated representation from CIA, DIA, State, Navy, NSA and NPIC. The Panel prepares periodic briefings on Chinese and/or Korean naval developments for the WSSIC and its cognizant sub- committees. Guests from all echelons of the Intelligence Community, to include cognizant National Intelligence Officers, attend the CKSP's monthly meetings. Members of the CKSP Executive Committee have contributed to or authored papers for national level consumption. IIT-1

VIII~- INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT (NISC-60) (U) During the past year (1981-82) the NIPS Miniaturized Data Base (NISC-61) played a significant role in supplying and updating the Intelligence holdings of some very high interest, newly established, Command/Strike Forces such as the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force (RDJTF) McDill Air Force Base, Florida; the Caribbean Contingency Joint Task Force (CCJTF) U.S. Naval Station Key West, Florida; the Super Carrier CARL VINSON (CVN 70) and numerous Marine and Air Force Commands that were either newly established, or whose geographic area of responsibility changed to meet today's requirement for a global strike capability. (U) The NIPS Miniaturized Data Base, composed of five major files: (1) Air Tactical Target Graphics (ATTGs), (2) Amphibious Studies (AMPHIBs), (3) Air and Seaplane Stations of the World (ASSOTWs), (4) Intelligence Publications (NAP Microfiche File), and (5) Selected Photography File (Photo File), is one of the largest, most widely used Intelligence Data Bases available in the Navy today. This miniaturized base of primarily Naval interest materials is updated and distributed monthly. During the fime frame 1981-1982, over 500 new Intelligence Publications, 825 Tactical Target Graphic/Data Sheets, 397 ASSOTWs and 200 AMPHIBs were added to the data base, translating to (counting routine monthly updates and new data base issues) over 2,982 ,830 microform pieces produced and distributed by NISC during this period. (U) During the second half of 1981 the NIPS data base began taking on a "New Look" adding Medical Capability Studies, Escape and Evasion Plans, Place Name Gazateers, etc. to the data base (documentation that previously did not meet the standard NIPS selection criteria). Commander, Naval Intelligence Command (NIC-05) the newly established NIC Data Administrator is currently looking at the various NAVINTCOM data bases for content and material placement in an effort to better satisfy user requirements. Therefore, with the NIPS Miniaturized Data Base being a viable, compact, easy accessible media for intelligence materials, it is anticipated that the NIPS base will eventually expand in both the amount of users currently receiving the base and variety of materials contained within the data base. (U) The Translation Division (NISC-62) continued to produce its three major publications, the Soviet Naval Digest, Soviet Shipbuilding, and NAVSCAN. Questionaire responses indicate users feel that these are unique sources of information. A WESTFLEETS supplement added to NAVSCAN in mid-1981 provides information on naval developments in non-Communist nations. An EASTFLEETS newsletter, a NAVSCAN -type publication on naval and maritime happenings in the Far East, was initiated in January 1982 and will appear as often as volume of source material and interest warrant. The lag time in preparing and publishing translations of Soviet Naval Digest and Soviet Shipbuilding issues has been reduced to six months. (U) During 1981 and early 1982, there has been a sharp increase in the number of ships requesting translations of Welcome Aboard brochures into various languages for use in visits to foreign ports. VIII-1
(U) Due to an increased flow of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean periodicals and classified documents containing valuable information available nowhere else, a translator in those oriental languages was hired in May 1981. (U) A two-week Advanced Language Proficiency Course held at NAF Washington (Andrews AFB) in June 1981 was attended by 25 naval reservists. Instruction in translation and speaking skills in five languages was provided by tiree Translation Division staff members and by three members of the Division-sponsored Naval Reserve Unit 0166. (Unit 0166 has grown by about a third (22-34) in the past two years, and given the Division correspondingly greater support, notably for the WESTFLEETS supplement to NAVSCAN.) A Soviet book Soviet Naval Operations in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945, translated by naval reservists working under the direction of Mr. William Cramer of NISC-62, was recently published by the Naval Institute Press. (U) As an adjunct to the Russian and German language training offered to intelligence personnel during the last three years, the Translation Division has established a language tape-cassette library. The library also aide the objective of increasing the capabilities of Division members to undertake interpreting assignments. (U) Mr. Russell Zavistovich of NISC-62 was mainly responsible for the preparation of a 675-term glossary of Soviet naval abbreviations relating to Soviet naval ship classes and types and associated terminology used in Soviet naval and shipbuilding texts. The reversal of the Soviet Shipbuilding dictionary, undertaken with the help of Naval Academy personnel, was also completed in early 1982. (U) The year 1981 saw the approval of career-ladder position descriptions for Translators a the grade levels GS-07/09/11/12; Language Assistant at levels GS-07/08, and Clerk (Typing) at the levels GS-04/05. Also approved were GS-13 Language Specialists position descriptions without supervisory responsibilities. The approval of these new position descriptions has done much to improve office morale, and will provide career incentives to prospective employees. (U) Activity in the Informations Systems Division (NISC-63) during the 1981-82 period was mainly confined to development of the collateral library automated circulation system installed the previous year. The SCI library total automation system, also installed last year, is still being debugged while the Alpha-Micro microcomputer system which became operational in October 1981 continues to save considerable time and energy. Other innovations that were placed into full time operation in 1980, such as SOLIS, NSA's SIGINT on line information storage and retrieval data base of DoD RDT&E technical reports and current projects, were widely used by NISC analysts. Three commercially available data bases (DIALOG, ORBIT, and BRS) are in the process of being acquired. They are expected to be made available to the analysts by March 1982. VIII-2
(U) The NISC-63P publications unit continues to produce several library periodicals that are widely received by NISC analysts as well as other library users. Other frequently used services include the Moscow Publications Procurement Office (PPO) program, map and chart acquisitions, CIRC inquiries and Terminal Access Systems (TAS). Statistics for 1981-82 show an increase over the same period last year of approximately 35 percent. These statistics include CIRC, DIAOLS/COINS, SOLIS and DROLS searches plus an increase in the number of IIRs and publications received, items circulated and routed plus material cataloged and indexed. (U) The major effort in the Reprographics Division for 1981-82 was the review and planning for the renovation of the Photographic Laboratory and Print Shop. Scheduled to commence in mid-1982, the $500,000 project will result in a major facelift for both areas to include new lighting, relocation of equipment and functions to provide for more efficient flow of work. The entire project is expected to be completed in early 1983. (U) The Micrographics Branch moved to NIC Building #1 in December 1980. The move was accomplished in a smooth and orderly manner with minimum loss of production. In January 1981, this branch merged with the NIPS Augmentation Team to form NISC-61, the Micrographics Division. (U) The Print Shop purchased and installed an eight unit press, collators, and a paper cutter which enhances the capabilities to ensure the timely dissemination of time-sensitive materials. A Kodak Copier 150 ATF was exchanged for a Xeros 9400 VR Copier which provides the capability to automatically reproduce two-sided copies of publications. (U) The Photographic and Special Phote Techniques Branches combined production for Fiscal Year 1981 exceeded 1,300,000 units which reflects a 300% increase from Fiscal Year 1980. The increase in production resulted from the acquisition of new equipment, improved training programs and effective preventative maintenance of all equipment. (U) The 1981-82 period for the Editorial Division (NISC-65) was one of steady expansion and introduction of new phototypesetting equipment. (U) The Editorial Division processed 75 scientific and technical documents and special reports totalling 11,000 printed pages. The Graphics Branch illustrated over 16,000 drawings, briefing boards, brochures and vugraphs. (U) The Omnitext automated text editing and phototypesetting subsystem and the Itek Corporation Mark I phototyesetter were replaced with Alphatype II text editing system and the Mark V phototypesetter. The replacement system is expected to increase publications production by ten percent resulting in an annual savings of approximately $20,000 per year. (U) The Compugrahic IV Edit/Writer phototypesetting system was installed in the visual aids section of the Graphics Branch to ensure completion of quick response graphic tasks which includes a yearly load of 15,000 vugraphs. Satellite inputs from vugraph originators throughout NISC via online terminals is expected to be in operation in early 1982. VIII-3
IX - IMAGERY DEPARTMENT (NISC-70) (U) The Imagery Analysis Department (NISC-70) was headed by Captain D. L. Black from January to September and by Captain R. W.
