MEMORANDUM FOR:. Chief, DDI Planning Staff
SUBJECT Imagery Analysis Service Objectives: FY 74-76
1. To satisfy the requirements of CIA production offices and the
DDO for high quality, timely and detailed imagery analysis.
Means of Measurement
a. At the end of each reporting period compare the number of
.requirements received with the number completed within. the requested
due date.
b. For the same reporting period assess the degree of consumer
satisfaction with our product based on feedback as available.
2. Reduce the cost of imagery assimilation and other non-production
related tasks.
Means of Measurement
Using data from the IAS management information system, compare
present amount of time spent on assimilation and other non-production
related tasks with that of previous reporting period to determine if
it increased or decreased.
3. To assist the production offices of the DDI and DDS&T in completing
preliminary assessments of significant intelligence finds within 48 hours of
final receipt of film from each mission.
Means of Measurement
For each reporting period assess the actual time expended between.
final receipt of film in IAS and the preparation of preliminary
assessments.

analysis reports on non-military industries.
25X1
Means of Measurement
a. At the end of the reporting period compare the number of
requirements programmed with those actually completed.
b. Determine the actual amount of imagery analysis resources
expended for the reporting period.
5. To develop and implement with our consumers in FY 74 new imagery
analysis applications, with special emphasis on such subjects as 25X1
II command analysis, and economic intelligence, and such programs as
CIA collection and operations, and new imagery collection systems.

actually developed and implemented for imagery analysis in each
listed category, describing progressive steps and highlighting both
successes and problems as appropriate.
b. Assess their significance in terms of actual intelligence use.
PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT OBJECTIVE
6. To improve the efficiency and sophistication of imagery analysis,
by using up to ten percent of our imagery analysis resources to develop
new analytical and reporting methods.
Means of Measurement
a. At the end of each reporting period determine what, if any,
new analytical and reporting methods have been developed and imple-
mented, describing progress and problems encountered.
b. Determine for this same time period the actual amount of
time expended on this effort.

production and improvement objectives and are operating effectively
against them.
b. At the end of FY 75 determine whether or not IAS branches have
similar objectives and are operating effectively against them.
9. To develop and implement in FY 74 a new, automated management
information system which will provide timely and accurate information on
our production efforts.
Means of Measurement
a. At the end of FY 74 describe progress toward implementation
of a new management information system.
b. Evaluate the effectiveness of the system in meeting IAS
requirements in terms of timeliness, accuracy and types of information
available.
10. To identify, procure and maintain technical imagery exploitation
equipment necessary for IAS to perform its imagery analysis tasks.
