1. (U) The purpose of this paper is to update you on. a number of ongoing
efforts which may result in increased usage of COINS II to support intelligence
operations centers. Copies of significant background papers available in the
COINS PMCI are also provided so that you may better understand and assess these
ongoing efforts.
2. (C) In 1977, DIA initiated a major effort to achieve interoperability
for the National Military Intelligence Center (NMIC) with at least two other
major defense intelligence operations centers in the Washington, D.C. area,
specifically, the NSA National SIGINT Operations Center (NSOC) and the Naval
Ocean Surveillance Intelligence Center (NOSIC). (See Attachment No. 1)
. 3. (U) Both the NSA and NAVINTCOM responses to DIA recommended the use
of COINS II as a means of achieving the desired interoperability (See
Attachment No. 3 and No. 4).
a. (C) Separately, in the early part of 1978, at the request of NSA,
the COINS PMO initiated a study to interface the NSOC system (i.e. TIDE/PREFACE)
and its 64 plus terminals to COINS II. At about the same time, 25X1

Director, Office Community Information System/DCI requested that the
COINS P110 determine if it were feasible for the CONTEXT terminals to have
access to COINS II. This request was considered in the same study as
the PISA TIDE system (UNIVAC 494) supporting NSOC which was also used as the
host computer for the CONTEXT terminals.. A copy of this report was forwarded
25X1
to both NSA andl -1 Attachments 5 and 6 are the cover letters attached
to each report. As of this date, no official response has been received on-
this report from either NSA or the IC Staff.

as the means of achie'g the desired interoperabilit3W NOSIC/SEAWATCH NSS
and NSA/NSOC (See Atta nment No. 6). A meeting was he u. by DIA in September
1978 with representatives of NSOC, NOSIC, NSA and the COINS PMO to review
.CNO's proposal (See Attachment No. 7). At a later meeting in October 1979,
the COINS Project Manager indicated that if formally requested, the COINS
PMO would initiate studies to see what would be required to interface both
the NOSIC SEAWATCH and the NMIC Support System to COINS II.
c. (S) In October 1978, DIA, formally requested that the COINS PMO
undertake a study to determine the extent to which COINS II could be used.
to achieve the interoperability of NOSIC/SEAWATCH and DLA/NMIC/NSS. (See
Attachment No. 8). This study is now underway and should be completed
by March 1979.
4. (U) COINS II offers the intelligence community, including the intelli-
gence operations centers, the opportunity for significant enhancements over those
available in COINS I, not only in enlarged network capabilities but also in the
timeliness of the information being provided. However, it is recognized that
many of the formatted term intelligence files offered in COINS I and COINS II
are also useful to these operations centers.
a. (C) The current COINS II Terminal Access System (TAS), which
is operational in COINS II, coupled with the prototype multiple retrieval
language translator (ADAPT) now being tested as a subsystem in the TAS,
will provide significant advancements in the exchange of information.
Currently, users operating from remote terminals on the TAS can operate in
either a batch or interactive-mode depending,,upon the capability of the
host system they are addressing. Further, security control procedures
in the TAS permit access to be limited to specific users and/or terminals
to specific host systems and/or files in the network. If the multiple
retrieval language translator (ADAPT II) becomes operat onal on the 'TAS
within the next 12-18 months then users operating from remote terminals
connected to a TAS will be able to operate with any system in the network
using one retrieval language. (See reference b). This will be a major
step forward and it would be in keeping with one of the requirements
set forth in DIA/NMIC's "Operational Concept" attached to Attachment
No. 1. which states: "NMIC modernization has one of it's goals to allow'
analysts to access all external. data bases via one type of terminal, using
one language". The COINS II TAS coupled with ADAPT. could provide such
a capability.
b. (C) Analysts who have access to COINS II, have direct, on-line
access to near real time intelligence data bases being made available to COINS
users. Access to other data bases will be available in the near future as some
of the present batch retrieval systems are replaced and new host processors are .
interfaced to COINS II. The following are some of the specific near-real-time
foreign intelligence data bases, now being made available to COINS users.
(1) (C) SIGINT PRODUCT: The NSA SIGINT On-Line Information System
(SOLIS) on the NSA B7700 has been integrated into COINS II. SOLIS contains
all of the SIGINT product reports, through the TOP SECRET/SI level, which
are produced by the U.S. SIGINT System. This data base is being updated
every 30 minutes with the SIGINT reports transmitted or received by NSA
~ Cl Lfc~f
 y. y.6 ~_:.._
Approved For Release 2007/05/21: CIA-RDP83T00573R000100140023-4
during the preceding4lf hour. (Note:* This data basis only available
in COINS II to organizations which have a remote terminal on a TAS.)
(2) (C) National SIGINT Requirements List (NSRL): The NSRL is
a community file managed by SERVES of the NFIB SIGINT Committee. This
file is updated or.-line and contains the requirements for the SIGINT
product reports contained in SOLIS. (Note: This data base is only
available to selected organizations and individuals operating from remote
terminals on the TAS which have been. specifically identified and approved
by SIRVES.)
(3) (C) PHOTINT Product: PHOTINT produced by NPIC is
already being made available to the analysts via COINS II using the UNIVAC
494 (the data base is updated 5 times a day from the NPIC Data System (NDS)
This service will improve significantly when NPIC connects its new NPIC
Data System (NDS) to the COINS II network in the next 12-18 months.
5. (C) It should be noted that several of the operations centers in the
intelligence community currently have a remote terminal directly connected
to the COINS II Terminal Access System in COINS PMO, specifically: DIA/NMIC,
State and SAC. The CIA OPS center should have a terminal installed and
operational by the end of March 1979. These connections give these
organizations direct, on-line access to a number of near-real-time SIGINT
and PHOTINT data bases identified above. (Note: Neither NSA/NSOC nor
NOSIC have such terminals.) These centers have a requirement for 24
hour a day, 7 day a week access (See reference A). The COINS PMO does not
have sufficient staff to operate around the clock. Although, several
actions have been pursued over' the past two years to obtain adequate
staffing, none has been successful. However, the COINS PMO is continuing
its effort to obtain adequate staffing so that it can satisfy this
requirement.
6. (U) If COINS II is to be used as the mechanism to achieve the inter-
operability between the intelligence operations centers then a number
of actions need to be taken by the agencies participating in COINS
to enhance the service being provided. The most important are:
a. (U) Adequately staffing the COINS Network Control Center (CNCC)
so it can provide the needed around the clock service.
b. (C) Provide a capability for handling highly sensitive, compartmented
foreign intelligence data bases. (Note: Although a successful BLACKER system
will provide such a capability in the future, it may be necessary to find an
acceptable alternative method for the interim period.)
c. (U) Assist in providing a capability which will permit a user
in any intelligence operations center using one of its own terminals to access
any data base in the network to which it is authorized access using one
retrieval language. (Note: The COINS effort to develop a Terminal Access
System coupled with the ongoing effort to develop a multiple retrieval
language translator is aimed at providing such a capability in the near future.)
 Approved For Release 2007i05f5i: GCA-RDP83T00573R00010014002. ~-4
d. (U) Pro e a capability to accommodatelfgh precedence requests
from centers to all hosts. (Note: Steps are now being taken to develop a
common precedence system which will insure that such requests from these
operations centers will receive proper attention in all hosts, gateway, etc.)
e. (S) Provide a capability to handle additional hosts in COINS II
which may contain information of interest to centers such as time sensitive
SIGINT at NSA in TIDE/PREFACE, and ocean surveillance information at NOSIC
in SEAWATCH. Another system suggested for early integration into COINS YI has
been the COMIREX Automated Management System (CAMS). This action would provide
the information on the PHOTINT requirements and tasking for the product provided
in the NPIC Data System (NDS). This is comparable, in part, to the SIGINT
Product (SOLIS) and National SIGINT Requirement List (NSRL) now being made
available in COINS II on the NSA/B7700 system. There may be other systems of
interest to the centers and they should be identified so that a study can
be made to determine what is involved in interfacing them to COINS II.
7. (S) As indicated above, a report has been written on how to
integrate the NSOC terminals and systems to COINS II including the CONTEXT
terminals. Separate reports are now being written on how and what is required
to interface NOSIC/SEAWATCH and DIA/NMIC/NSS to COINS II. Consideration is
being given to tasking Mr. Kinslow to write a separate more comprehensive
report on the technical aspect of using COINS II to achieve interoperability
of the intelligence operation centers. This report would integrate the
results of the first three reports with respect to schedules, costs,
responsibilities, etc. It would also identify other types of services
needed by these centers. Perhaps consideration should be given to including
other operations centers in the report such as, CIA Ops Center, State, SAC,
ADCOM, etc. This report can not be initiated until DIA, NAVINTCOM and NSA
have responded to the first reports and then only if agencies concerned
concur in taking some meaningful actions.
8. (U) Your views on this subject wo/ild be appreciated by 1 March 1979.

2 Nov 1977
1. (C) As the focal point of the worldwide indications and warning system,
the DIA NMIC is continuing development of its NSS which is an array of
internetted mini-computers, terminals, automated communications facilities
and peripheral equipment to provide modern data handling and processing
support for enhanced accomplishment of the NMIC mission.
2. (S) Reference a: establishes a DIA requirement for analyst-to-analyst
textual /graphics interactive communications having the best mix of timeliness,
reliability, and relevance for the major problem areas of NMIC analysts.
Of most importance with respect to external systems, such as the NSOC SHOW-
CASE and SOLIS data bases, is the convenience and ease of access to these
systems by NMIC analysts.

a. To expand the quantity and types of time-sensitive raw data as
well as finished data made available to the NMIC analyst for performing
research in support of his Indications and Warning (1-I) mission.
b. To facilitate the performance of that research by making data
located in remote intelligence centers available to his own work-station
console using a single NSS query language.
c, To acquire direct data transfer and input of raw data into NMIC
I&td applications programs (i.e., the Advanced Indications Structure, ELINT
Analysis System, and the Defense Intelligence Space Exploitation and
Correlation System) in as direct and timely a manner as possible, and
d. To make NMIC products and other results of NMIC analysis available
to other intelligence centers in as direct and timely a manner as possible.
4. (S) Reference c. provides detailed subsystem program design to permit
program production by programmers/coders. However, this document does
not address interfaces to external systems but instead, to only two DIA
data bases, the Advanced Imagery Requirements. and Exploitation System
(AIRES) and DIAOLS/COINS. Therefore, enclosed for your review is our
MMIC-NSOC interface Operational Concept which elaborates upon the basic
objectives in para. 3 above. We view this proposal "'as a first step toward
requirements definition and system-to-system interface design and
implementation.
5. .(S) The key to our proposal is a capability for analyst-to-analyst
exchange of selected data based on NNIC/NSOC information needs using
advanced computer/communication techniques as opposed to direct data base
access and extraction. DIA has requested funds in. the FY 1979 budget to
initiate this effort. Extension of the ISIP and INDICOM interface
development to include the NSOC SHOWCASE and SOLIS data bases will be a
step closer toward achieving these goals.
6. (U) Request DIRNSA approve our Operational Concept and access to the
above NSOC data bases by DIA NSS designers for expanded developments r,f
the ISIP system interfaces.

OPERATIONAL CONCEPT
SUBJECT:. Modernized NMIC Relationships with the National Security
Agency's (NSA) National SIGINT Operations Center (NSOC)
.INTRODUCTION
A. PURPOSE: The purpose of this operational concept is to define
new roles and relationships between the NMIC and the NSOC that will take
advantage of the'new ADP capabilities available when the NMIC computer
system is fully operational.
B. OBJECTIVES:
1. The establishment of this operational concept is related-to
Goal 1, of the DIA Management by Objective (MBO) program: "Provide the
=National Command Authority, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the U&S Commands,
and other designated parties the earliest possible strategic warning of
impending actions which may have critical impact either directly or
indirectly on US security interests;" Objective 1C: "To assure the
effective, coordinated operation of the NIIC within the group of
Washington Area Alert Centers;" and Task 3: "Establish new roles,
missions and relationships for the.NMIC that take advar=age of,the
improved capabilities resulting from Modernization."
2. The NMIC-NSOC interface is critically essential.` NSOC is
the hub of US SIGINT operations. The NMIC is the hub of DoD's
Worldwide Indications and Warning System (Miws) and is tasked with
providing all-source indications and warning (I&n') and other time-
sensitive intelligence support to the National Comniand Authority (PICA).
and National Military Command System (NMCS). Therefore our specific
objective for the NMIC/NSOC relationships is to improve the flow of
information between the two organizations. Our goal is to develop
digital communications between the two computer systems-that will
maximuze data exchange and analyst-to-analyst communications,
minimize time delays and reduce manpower costs due to administrative
handling tasks. We desire the digital interface to be so constructed
as to allow analysts at each organization to have access to, and be
able to manipulate, all the information required to perform their
missions via their own system's display stations..
II CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS
A. REQUEST FOR INTELLIGENCE:
1. The majority of the routine requests for intelligence from
.DIA to NSOC are satisfied via access to PISA files on COINS, access to
SHOWCASE data via SHOWCASE terminals to include but not limited to the
following:
R6001001400234"
 a. air corridors
b. place names and facilities (e.g., airfields)
c. U.S..and allied reconnaissance flight routes,
d. defensive patrol areas and ship transit routes,
e. reporting and advisory condition lines, and
f. other reference data, as required, access to current
SIGINT products/reports via the SIGINT On-Line Information System (SOLIS),
and, analyst-to-analyst dialogue.
B.. NMIC RECURRING PRODUCTS AVAILABLE TO NSOC:
1. The Daily Indications Status Report (DISR),
2. The Defense Intelligence Notice (DIN) and Special DIN (SDIN
3. The Intelligence Appraisal and Warning Appraisal,
4. The Weekly Intelligence Summary, and
5. The Executive Summary.
C. NSOC RECURRING PRODUCTS AVAILABLE TO THE NMIC:
1. NSA SIGINT Surniary,
2. Special user tailored reporting such as KLIEGLIGHT and TACREP
reports.
3. Time-sensitive CRITICs.,
4. Significant event related SPOT REPORTS,
5. ELECTRIGRAMS,
6. Electrical Summaries
MEANS OF COMMUNICATION:
. . 1. Dedicated secure telephone conferencing capability -- the
National Operations and Intelligence Watch-Officers Net;
2. AUTOSEVOCOM,
3. WASHFAX III
4. INDICOM,
5. SOLIS, SHO'ZASE, and DIAOLS/COINS,
6. A secure video display/telephone conferencing and text editing
capability (CONTEXT),
7. Dedicated interactive and passive links to NSA TIDE computers
(autoline and recce).
III REQUIREMENTS
A. NMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR NSOC DATA:
1. Because the NSOC is the focal point within the United States
SIGINT system (USSS), it is imperative that the NMIC have ready access
to NSOC data. NSA has thus far been extremely responsive in meeting this
need. SHOWCASE and SOLIS terminals have been installed in the N.MIC and
NSA data bases are availabiee via COINS.

 Approved For Release 2007/05/21 ;,JI EDP'93T00573R000100140023-
2. However, the NMIC is faced with a proliferation of different
types of terminals not only from NSA but from other organizations. Becaus
the language for each terminal is different, as are the data standards,
expertise in each terminal's data base and language is peeded and training
is difficult. Analysts have a difficult time mastering all the capabilitit
NMIC modernization has as one of its goals to allow analysts to access all
external data bases via one type of terminal, using one language.
3. Currently there is no interactive capability for NSOC-CNMIC to
exchange indepth reports/analyses. Graphic displays that support NSOC
analyses as well as specific reports should be capable of being digitally
passed to the NMIC and vice versa.
.4.- The N;'iIC is currently developing technical support systems
such as the Advanced Indications Structure (AIS), the Defense Intelli-
gence Space Exploitation and Correlation System (DISECS) and the ELINT
Analysis System (EAS). These systems rely heavily on NSA collected data,
Present methods of update are via manual update, or if via digital update,
involve unacceptable time delays in receipt of the information. Ultimately,
there will be a requirement to have the data for these systems digitally
linked into the NMIC for near real-time processing and analysis.
B. PROVISION OF id; SIC DATA TO NSOC:
1. In order to facilitate the rapid analyses of developing and
actual crisis situations a method is needed to rapidly forward NMIC
analyses and supporting data/graphics. The NMIC will also`be able to
forward data on possible unusual activity derived from the AIS. This "rill
improve NSOC awareness of a situation at the grass roots level and serve
to enhance NMIC-NSOC analytical exchange and focus NSOC attention on relevant
issues.
2.. Thus, a capability needs to be designed to allow for rapid
transfer of NMIC data to NSOC that Will involve a minimal amount of manual
handling.
C. COMMUNICATIONS REQUIREMENTS:
1. The current means of exchanging, information betaieen the NMIC
and NSOC includes the NMIC's access to SOLIS and SH0(CASE data, NSOC access
to DIAOLS; dedicated, secure telephone; LOX capability; and regular message
services. However, manual handling and/or implied technical expertise and
some time delays are involved in the current methods.
2. To reduce manual handling requirements, enhance communications,
minimize the need for technical expertise, and reduce time delays there is
a requirement for a M IC computer to NSOC computer interface via digital
communications.

IV PROPOSED PROCEDURES AND CAPABILITIES
A. PROCEDURES:
1 Time sensitive information exchange will take place between
NSOC analyst terminals and NMIC analyst terminals.
2. Based-on analyst-to-analyst telephonic exchange either
an NSOC analyst or a NNIC analyst can access data (textual or graphic)
on their CRT and direct that data he digitally transferred to the other's
terminal.
3. NSOC data sent to a NMIC analyst would be routed to that
analyst's terminal. The NMIC analyst would review it, make hardcopies
of it, if necessary, and make appropriate changes. The analyst could also
route it to another analyst terminal and finally back to NSOC.
4. If a NNIC analyst felt prior NSOC coordination on a DIN was
necessary the analyst would create the DIN on a terminal)then route the
DIN to NSOC with supporting graphics, as applicable, for coordination.
After reviewing the NiIIC product, NSOC would route the product back. to the
NMIC. The analyst would then prepare the product for release.
5. If, in a developing crisis situation, a Ni1i;.C analyst desired
access to supporting NSOC products the analyst would use the NIMIC terminal
to access SOLIS or.SHOWCASE for reference or supportive matbrial.
6. On a routine, daily basis, NMIC-NSOC computer corrvnunicationsk,
b'l
1
cap" tes w7
1 be utilized;to pass to the NNIC AIS, DISECS and EAS,
SIGINT data collected by the EhsS -he NMIC will pass back to the?NSOC,
unusual activity based on AIS processing of all-sources of'data.
B. CAPABILITIES:
1. A secure, bulk, high speed, digital data communications
capability should be established between the NMIC computer system, and the
NSOC computer system.
2. Both NSOC and NMIC should be equipped with graphic capable
terminals of which hard copy prints, plots or transparencies can be created.
3. NMIC terminals should provide transparent access to NSA data-
bases on COINS, SOL.IS and SHOWCASE.
4. Existing equipment allowing for communications between NSOC
and NMIC will remain (secure voice, WASHFAX III, message services, SOLIS and
SHOWCASE) as back-up to the new capabilities.

 Approved For Release 2007/05/21: CIA-RDP83T00573R000100140023-4
A. RELOCATED Ni MIC ALERT CENTER: The NMIC Alert Center is no.:
collocated with the NttICC providing the NIMCC with a single location
(NMMXC Alert Center) from which to obtain intelligence. Therefore,
NNNIC-NSOC information exchange will become all the more critical.
B. IOC MODERNIZED NMIC (est. Middle FY 78):
1. The initial capabilities for the IOC modernized Ni-11IC will
not provide for Nt1IC/NSQC computer-to-computer digital comumunications.
2. Hov:ever;, the NMIC will have the capability to automatically
receive and route incoming message traffic and generate reports'via their
terminals. This will enable the NMIC to be more sensitive to NSOC
message traffic and to rapidly dispatch analyses to NSOC. No automated
graphic capability will exist. Graphics will be forwarded via the current
methods (either WASHFAX III or couriered).
3. However, relationships with NSOC will not be altered that much
over the previous phase. NSA representatives will be able to use NNIC
terminals to manipulate data and receive messages' but contact with NSOC
by NMIC analysts and the NSA representative will continue to be via
conventional methods.
C. FULLY OPERABLE MODERLIZED HiMIC:(est. beginning FY 82).
1. A fully operable modernized NMIC %,till have highspeed digital
communications with NSOC that will allow for terminal to terminal
interaction.
. . 2. NMIC analysts will be able to forward inquiries or analyses
(including graphics) to NSOC analyst terminals and vice versa. The
NSA representatives within the NMI C/MMCC will have a terminal with the
same capabilities.
3. Thus, NMIC-NSQC relationships will become more dynamic and
interaction will increase. It will be easier to move large and/or
selected amounts of data between the two organizations. Each organization
will operate in closer coordination with others which will be reflected
in products produced. Many current/I&W products will probably be co-
authored whereas few are now.

1. This memo is in response to your memorandum U-015/DN-IB,
subject as above, dated 14 February 1978.
2. We regret our failure to respond to reference (a) as stated
earlier in reference (b). As we stated in reference (b), we are in
full accord with the goal-of enhancing the interface between NMIC and
NSOC and will work actively with you toward this goal..
3. We have not completed our assessment of your proposal because
of first, the technical complexity of your proposal requiring, a single-
terminal analyst-to-analyst rapid exchange, with graphics, for both NSA
produced. SIGINT and NMIC all-source intelligence via an interactive
computerized communications capability; and second, the existing status
and ongoing upgrades of NSOC systems support which we must consider,
and now reconsider in light of your proposal. All in all, this is a
considerable task.
4. Adding to the technical complexities and our difficulties in
coping with them is your assumption that there is or will be a single
NSOC computer, and that it has or will have interactive access to such
as COINS, SOLIS and SHOWCASE which you stress in your concept. Although
TIDE is currently the principal NSOC computer, being the processor for

our response to your concept, and NSOC needs as well, is to upgrade SHOWCASE
capabilities, particularly in view of your stress on graphics.

and TIDE in the area of desk-mounted CRT-equipped alphanumeric terminals.
Now a erational in NSOC and DEF SMAC are 64 ?t 11 hanumeric terminals

informal communications through the TIDF?Dios We are now looking toward
capitalizing on these and re ated developments to bring about single
terminal capabilities.
8.. Additionally we believe it imperative that we also capitalize on
other, emerging technologies available to both centers such as CONTEXT,
which is also hosted by TIDE, and that being sponsored and developed in
general under COINS.
9. Over and above our internal developments, our mutual tasks are
further complicated by a rise in number and intensity of systems related
projects and policy changes which impact on our. information base,
available expertise and technical options; of particular concern are those
in the areas-of systems security, standards, interoperability and information
sharing; and, for our part, we must be guided by our overall concern for
maximizing the use and protection of SIGINT. Nonetheless, we agree that
we should get on with the task and with the immediate formation of a
joint working group. On this point, we are pleased to see similar work
toward the NMIC-NOSIC interface.

MIORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF COMMUNITY INFORMATION
SYSTEMS,
SUBJECT: Interface of CONTEXT Terminals to COINS II
1. Recently you asked me to determine what would be required
to provide the six CONTEXT terminals in the intelligence community
with the additional capability of being able to access COINS II.
At the time of your request, a study on the interface of the NSA
TIDE/PREFACE system to COINS II was being done by H. Kinslow
Associates, a COINS contractor, for NSA. Because the NSA TIDE/
PREFACE system is also the host system for CONTEXT, the contractor
was tasked to expand his study_to_include.the interface of CONTEXT
to COINS II.
2. The result of this study is the attached report from H.
Kiuslow Associates, Inc. dated 11 April 1978 entitled, "Inter-
communications of TIDE/PREFACE and the COINS II Network", which
provides a_ recommended strategy on how to interface CONTEXT
to COINS II. This report should be regarded as a-"first draft"
until the technical details contained in it are validated by all
concerned.
3. The recommended strategy for providing CONTEXT access to
COINS II described in section 5.2 of Kinslow's report appears to
be relatively simple and straight forward. However, I would like
for your staff to review the part of this report pertaining to
CONTEXT, including Appendix C, and advise me of any technical
inaccuracies. A copy of this report also has been submitted to
NSA for a similar review of TIDE/PREFACE. We will be happy to
provide whatever additional support you may require in providing
CONTEXT terminals access to COINS II.
4. The results of your review would be appreciated at yours

SU JECT: Interface of CONTEXT Terminals to COINS II
COINS/064-78
1. Attached is a study prepared by H. Kinslow Associates, Inc., entitled,
"Intercommunications of TIDE/PREFACE and the COINS Network". This study was initiated
by the COINS PMO in response to two independent requests. First, Mr. Lord asked that
I determine what would be required to interface the 64 NSOC INCOTERMS and the TIDE/
PREFACE system to the COINS II Network. Second, Director Office 25X1
of Community Information Systems, asked me to determine if CONTEXT terminals, also
hosted on the TIDE/PREFACE system, could be used to access COINS II.
2. The study indicates that there are no major technical problems involved in
interfacing the NSOC terminals and TIDE/PREFACE to COINS II. The recommended strategy
is as follows:
a. The 64 NSOC INCOTERMS would be connected to the. COINS II network via one
or more Terminal Access Systems. The INCOTERMS would be capable of operating directly;'
with TIDEIPREFACE as they do now, and would also have the added capability of direct
,on-line access to information systems in COINS ?I, such as NSA/SOLIS, NSA/RYE-TIPS,
NPIC/IIS and DIA/DIAOLS. _
b. The NSOC TIDE/PREFACE system, itself, would be dual connected to the
COINS II Network and to the NSA PLATFORM network. This dual connection would enable
intelligence organizations in the COINS II/IDHSC Network to access time-sensitive data
bases in TIDE/PREFACE. This connection would also give some intelligence organizations
a second (and probably more reliable) access path to TIDE/PREFACE other than the low-speed,
point-to-point OPSCOMM circuits presently used. Diversion of query/response traffic
from OPSCOMM circuits to COINS II could substantially reduce OPSCOMM traffic loads.
Moreover, data transmitted via COINS II could be directly usable as computer input for
those intelligence organizations with COINS II connected host systems.
3. This study should be regarded as a "first draft",?dince technical details on
which the conclusions are based have yet to be validated by all concerned parties.
Request that you have the appropriate organizations review this paper and advise the -
COINS PNO of an inaccuracies. A copy of this study has been sent under separate 25X1
cover tol
4. If V concurs in the proposal set forth in the study, I recommend that
appropriate actions be initiated to get the internal NSA coordination required for
implementation. As a first step, I recommend that one cluster of 8 NSOC INCOTERMS
be dua? connected to the COINS PMO Terminal Access System and the TIDE/PREFACE System.

A detailed plan must be developed if the one cluster test is successful and if there
is a requirement to connect all of the INCOTERMS in NSOC to COINS II via a TAS.
Integration of all NSOC terminals into COINS will require some lead time and additional
funds as the present TAS does not have the capacity to handle all 64 terminals.
5. The COINS PM O is prepared to assist in any way to promote the interface of
NSOC INCOTERMS and TIDE/PREFACE to COINS II. The results of your review would be
appreciated at your earliest convenience.

But it significantly upgrades capabilities to permit use of
NMIC UNIVAC-1652 Dual Monitor Terminals. it also satisfies
the specific objective for the NMIC/NOSIC relationships as
stated in reference (a).
4. (S) The following information is relevant:
a. (S) A COINS II network communications line is al-
ready installed in the NMIC. The COINS Project Management
Office (P.?;O) , with which this letter has been coordinated,
will, nested b DI?l initia er-
minal driver QgQggam enahle the NMIC UNIVAC-1652 Dual
on.itor Terminals in lieu of h existin Model 40 Teletype
Terminal, to directly access the COINS =work.
b. (S) A COINS II network- coinmunications line will be
installed by the COINS Project Management Office using FY78
funds already programmed for that purpose. This will be a
50 kilobit communications line between the National Security
Agency building at Fort Meade and the NAVINTCOM Computer
Center at Suitland. A COINS II Interface Message Processor
.(IMP) and a Front End Processor (FEP) for the CDC-6400 SEA
WATCH. computer system will also be installed using programmed
FY79 funds. It is believed feasible to use existing Naval
Ships Research and Development Center (NNSRDC) software for
the SEA WATCH/FED interface.. Similarly, software and pro-
ccdural safeguards pertaining to the security problem,de-
scribed in paragraph III.A.l.b of enclosure (1) to reference
(a) would be developed.
C. (S) The above will terfit both the NMIC and the
N?SIC to exchan e to via the CaflS 11-network- using their
own terminals. In addition, selected NSA National SIGINT
Operations Center (NSOC) terminals are being connected to
the COINS II network and this will additionally enable both
NMIC and NOSIC analysts to interface with the NSOC as well.
Further, the COINS PMO is currently assessing the results. of
a Multi-Language Retrieval experiment which enables terminal
-users to access four different data bases using a single re-
trieval language. Expanding this capability to include data
bases such as those in the NMIC and NOSIC is considered po-
tentially beneficial. This would seem to offer a basis for
a potential standard language for the entire NSS.
5. (U) Inasmuch as the above actions promise to enhance the
achievement of the mutual objective of interfacing National
Intelligence Systems with minimum time delay and resource'
expenditures, DIA concurrence in the actions outlined in

1. (S) Reference a. -is the Navy proposal submitted to DIA which
generally describes a methodology for using the COINS II network to
achieve an automated interface between the NSS and the NOSIC SCAWATCH
data base. The DIA reply, reference b., stated that the proposed
methodology would be discussed initially at DIA internal working group
meetings and subsequently by DIA-NOSIC-NSOC joint working group meetings.
2. (C) Two DIA internal working group meetings have been held to date;
the first meeting on 12 June 1978 was to present the Navy proposal to
the DIA interface working group as well as to elicit alternatives which
should be considered. The result of the meeting was an assignment to
DIA Communications Management Division representatives to the working
group to perform a technical analysis/feasibility study of the COINS II
network approach and to recommend alternatives. On 25 August 1978, the
second internal working group meeting was held at which the results of
the above feasibility study were presented and discussed together with
alternatives. The study showed that the COINS II network could be used;
however, from the DIA perspective, there are several important factors
still to be resolved among DIA, NOSIC,.and NSOC1 i.e., software develop-
ment for interface message processors (IMP) (Control Data Corporation
(CDC) and/or PDP-1l), bulk data tra?rsfer between sites, and graphics
display capabilities. The alternative to using COINS II, as suggested
by the working group, is to use IDHSC II or a combination of IDHSC II
and COINS II to the satisfaction of all three-agencies involved.
