DIRECTORATE OF COLLECTION (U) Added Emphasis Being Placed on Reconnaissance aa As a result of the high premium placed on photo reconnaissance of Cuba, the Air Force photo reconnaissance capability has been expanded. qn On 30 January 1963, two newly configured RB-26 aircraft de- parted from Eglin Air Porce Base to augment the reconnaissance capability in South Vietnam. The aircraft were equipped with 6" thru 36" focal length lens for daylight reconnaissance and K-47 night photo cameras using flash bombs as the illuminate. Additionally, both aircraft were equipped with infrared sensing devices. ‘ be Since the reconnaissance capability was still not adequate, two RB-57A's were deployed to South Vietnam. These aircraft do not possess a night capability, but they are programmed to have infrared sensors in- stalled. The 3" forcal length panoramic cameras provided with these aircraft are providing a new low level operational capability. The photography from this type of camera provides exceptionally good resolution imagery from horizon to horizon. ah Considerable effort has been expended to update our recon- naissance capability in South Vietnam and Southeast Asia. The results have been immediate and most productive.
GAP pproximately 90 per cent of all air strikes generated in Vietnam have been a result of photo reconnaissance. In addition, the esti- mated Southeast Asia air order of battle has been confirmed in some in- stances, as a result of the covert aircraft activities.

Also, during this period, the PACOM Registry was established and became the channel, via DIA, for all requice- ments previously served on the component command by the service departments. These two transfers materially affected numerous Air Force collection require- ' ments procedures. However, during this period, 217 Specific Intelligence Collection Requirements (SICRs) were forwarded to DIA for validation; 424 validated SICRs were served on Air Force collection elements; and 439 SICRs were cancelled. As of 30 June 1963, there were 566 SICRs outstanding on collectors.
