MEMORANDUM FOR: Assistant for Plans and Development, NPIC
FROM Chief, Imagery Analysis Division, CIA
SUBJECT : Development Objectives for Advanced Rhomboid Prototypes,
Model II
REFERENCE : Your Memorandum, P&DS/D/6-1560, dated 21 October 1966
1. In order to provide the greatest potential for the exploitation of
reconnaissance products in the foreseeable future, we feel that the separa-
tion between the optical axes of the two objectives should be adjustable
from 2" to 14". Except for this point, the development objectives appear
to be satisfactory.
2. Our ultimate purchase of production versions of this device will
be contingent upon the following:
a. Effective utilization of the Model I Advanced Rhomboids which
we have on order (100 units).
b. The degree of performance obtained by the
in production versions of their Model SZ III D Microstereoscope.
25
c. The successful development of the 0 "Advanced" Microstereo- 25
?
scope, which is now in the design phase under NPIC/P&DS contract.
d. A cost/effectiveness study which we will make after evaluation
of the prototype advanced rhomboid, Model II.
