PSF -- ANAMORPHIC SYSTEM FOR HIGH-POWER STEREOVIEWER
1. There is no current project-in existence which will render this
Project Suggestion unnecessary.
2. This attachment to the =High Power Stereoviewer will allow
the operator to obtain differential magnification between perpend-
icular axes of the optical field of this instrument. This
permits stereo pairs with certain distortions to be fused by the
operator. This characteristic is totally lacking in existing
High Power Stereoviewers.
3. The present equipment is inadequate in that it does not permit
stereoscopic fusion of imagery taken from a large angle of obliquity.
4. The existing equipment is presently totally inadequate to perform
the requirement described in # 2 and 3 above.
5. The High Power Stereoviewer is used for detailed analysis; however,
when the operator is studying a stereoscopic image taken from a
large obliquity angle, stereoscopic fusion over a considerable
area of the image is impossible. The lack of this capability
detracts from the usefulness of this instrument.
6. N.A.
7. It is most definitely probably that a sufficient improvement
will be made because anamorphic systems have been fabricated for
other optical instruments; e.g., thelZoom 70.
8. No, there will be no changes in the characteristics of other
equipment as a result of this project.
9. No other practical alternative methods are avaailable to accomplish
the necessary task in a reasonable time frame.

14. Approximately thirty units will be required by the Center.
15. There is no known R&D effort that will decrease the value or
need for this project.
16. This project will not significantly increase the maintenance
cost of a High Power Stereoviewer and it will not decrease the
life expectancy of a unit.

Proof of Need for a?Project to Support a Proceed Recommendation
from the Evaluation Committee,
For Equipment Prototype Development.
(Answers should be estimates based on previously performed
tests, outside experts9opinions and experience of members of
P&DS.)
1. Is there presently a project in existence which will render
this,Project Suggestion unnecessary?
2. What is the performance limit of present equipment for
each characteristic which is anticipated to be improved?
3. Is present equipment inadequate in any of these characteristics
for present work and if so by how much?
4. Is present equipment inadequate in any of these characteristics
for future work; if so by how much and what is the date for
the future requirement for which present equipment will be
inadequate?
5. Is it clearly a part of the Center's mission to rectify the
stated inadequacy? Justify your reply by quoting from mission
statements if possible.
6. Is it necessary to improve all of the characteristics
listed in reply to question one but not listed as inadequate
in reply to question two or three?

7. Is it probable that a sufficient improvement can be made
to meet the inadequacies listed in questions two or three?
State the estimated numerical improvement and the source of
the estimate.
8. Will there be changes in other characteristics of the
equipment as a consequence of the desired improvement in some
characteristics? If so, what are they. Should there be an
.investigation of the possible changes, during the first phases
of the project to determine if these changes in other
characteristics are tolerable?
9. Are there any alternative methods of achieving the required
performance improvements? List them,. state after each whether
or not the alternative method should be investigated as being
a possible better means. of achieving the improvement, during the
early phases of the project.
10. What is the-estimated cost of the R&D effort?
11. What is the estimated time of completion of the R&D effort?
12. Approximately when would the first production unit be
delivered?
13. What is the estimated cost of each production unit to the
Center?
14. Approximately how, many units will be required by the Center?

15. Is there an R&D Project or other work going on that
will decrease the value or need for this project?
16. Will the project materially increase the maintenance cost
or decrease the life of a unit? If so should this cost factor
be investigated in early phase of the project?
17. Should the Project Suggestion become a Project?
