a 1 DIRECTORATE OF COLLECTION (U) Collection Evaluation Program QM 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, 2 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 informatioa 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 “ie,
° a 2 ra made of the potential value and impact of this system on Air Force collection capabilities toward the end of Fiscal Year 1962. ; (0) Summary of Short Term Aerospace Intelligence Requirements (STAIRS) Activity ah 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. bY 482 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, _ (Uncl) On 21 April 1961, AF Regulation 200-15 was dis- tributed, prescribing the new Air Intelligence Report format, AF Form 112 and ll2a, effective 1 July 1961. Through this action the Air Force joined forces with the Department of Army 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-1l WERE The first change to the January 1961 edition of Priority Aerospace Intelligence Requirement (PAIR-1), *
“a Soviet Missiles and Astronautics, was disseminated. The change reflects the addition of QED 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. rumen) A quarterly revision, consisting of Dy t (U) Staff Duty Section (Uncl) 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 rN (U) National Intelligence Directives @um®) During this period, the Human Resources Branch has been successful in brirging 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 SS EE (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 o-=
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 Arry, 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 AFCIN and approved by USIB. They reflect US intelligence community needs and are now totally contained in the NORAD system requirements document. (QM. 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. Qs 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 and to recommend utilization of suitable facilities appropriate to Space Surveillance tasks.
qn 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). rl} se . (quam, 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.

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, a qn Gu The photo interpreters will be phased in over an approximate one year period.
