HIGHLIGHTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE DIRECTORATE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY The history of the Directorate of Science and Technology (DD/S&T) would appear to bear out the truism that war accelerates scientific and techno- logical development. The successive periods of conflict beginning with World War II, which fathered the first atomic blast, have brought about a series of advances and discoveries which stagger the imagination. While achievements involving missiles, rocketry and space continue to pyramid we say have seen only the beginning since the competition in which we find ourselves, principally with the Soviet Union, inevitably calls for a more exotic system, program or device. This describes in some measure the growth and development of DD/. Even before its formal beginning an DD/R in February 1962, and later desig- nation as DD/S&T in August 1963, events foretold the potential and importance of science and technology in intelligence as well as the need for concentrated, rather than random, exploitation of our national capability. The recognition of these indications by former Director John McCone and by the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (FFIAD), clearly recognized the need for putting science to work across the board in CIA, was indeed fortuitous. The Director's election to create a center for science and technology, and the continuing persistence of others to man it with the most capable and qualified people obtainable have contributed substantially to our national posture.

Dr. Herbert Scoville, Jr., and Col. Edward B. Oilier served as Director and Assistant Director, respectively. This directorate consisted of the Office of Special Activities (OW the Office of LLINT (GEL) and the Office of Research and Development (ORD). The next big step was the creation of the Directorate of Science and Technology (DD/ T) in August 1963 under the leadership of Dr. Albert D. Wheelon. This added to the existing DD/R the Office of Scientific Intelligence (081) and the Office of Computer Services (OCS). Very soon there- after the Foreign Missile and Space Analysis Center ( IiSAC) was formed. The present organization of the Directorate was completed with the formal establishment of the Office of Special Projects (OSP) in September 1968. (Mote; Organizational development is charted in Annex "A. ~-') This evolution has brought about an organizational structure which, at least for the time being, is geared to handle the various areas of DD/S&T concern. The office structure in designed to minimize overlap of responsibilities to the greatest possible extent. The Office of the Deputy Director has recently been reorganized and now functions an follows: The Deputy Director, Dr. Albert D. Wheelon, has an his Assistant Deputy Director, Mr. Carl Duckett, who was ppointed on 16 May 1966. Two Staff Offices, Research and Development Coordination, and Systems Analysis are headed byl respectively.

These figures, however, deserve further explanation. The need to strengthen Agency efforts in technological fields--the period of necessary build-up--coincided with a general personnel retrench- ment within the Government. Significant in the growth of the Directorate in that an intensified recruiting program was, in largo measure, successful in over- coming these obstacles. Emphasis was placed on recruitment of personnel whose skills and background could impact immediately on the problems at hand. To obtain men and women of this caliber it was decided to use professional officers as specialized recruiters. It in noteworthy that these officers wore able, in the fact of a highly competitive professional labor market, to obtain talent in a broad spectrum of specialities from bioastronautics and c r ohysica to oceano r hy. Since August 1'963 with master's degrees w brought on board. x C) They represent degrees in 27 diversified categories. Q0 advanced degrees are not necessarily a sine qua non to pursuit of intelligence objectives the spec Mils and training of these Individuals were critically needed by the Directorate. The recruitment program concentrated on both short- term and long-term employment. A number of employees, among then professors on sabbatical and engineers from industry, were hired on .short-tern contract and have since departed. In the main the contributions of these specialists were highly significant. To encourage cross-fertilization of ideas a series of "Advanced Technical Seminars" were held by the Deputy Director for the purpose of exploring validity of concept and depth of research concerned with new technical proposals. Similarly, periodic "dining-ins" were arranged where individuals having experience in intelligence would address small DD/S&T gatherings.

In reviewing programs of the Directorate it should be kept in mind that approximately of DD/S&T personnel are directly or in rec c e ned with projects which are the responsibility of and are funded by NRO. Annex D illustrates the shift in funding arrangements for the period 1959-1967. Annex E reflects the growth of DA/S by Agency dollar. OFFICES AND ACTIVITIES There are now seven principal offices in the DD/ T. The following sections deal with these individually in order of their establishment an an Office of the Directorate. In addition to historical notes brief reviews of principal programs and activities are included. Office of Special Activities 4SA began its life, organizationally, early in 1955 as a small project group of six people. Grafted onto the staff of R. M. Bissel Jr., than Special Assistant for Policy Coordinat io Office of the DCI (S&PC/DCI), its project was the covert development and operation of the U-2 rcraft in conjunction with the U. S. Air l rce-- Project UATONS. The SAPC/DCI relationship continued as a project crew. By mid-1987 the project strength was which gave an unwieldy overload to e ee o the Director. Project personnel were thereupon separated from Mr. Bissell's personal staff and renamed the Development Projects Staff, retaining their organizational affiliation with the Director only in the term DPS/DCI. When Mr. Bissell became nD/P in February 1989, DPS was renamed Development Projects Division and blended into the DD/P. In February 1962, when Mr. Bissell resigned Approved For Release 2005/0: SW5r00803R000200060002-5 I 25X Approved For Release 200 1 C DP85BOO803R000200060002-5 X1 as DD/P. DPD was transferred to the newly formed DD/R and was renamed OS, board strength at this point was and the Director was o . an. Beerli, During the early summer of 1962, Col. Beerli was transferred and Col. (id' General) Jack Ledford, 'C,SAF, was selected his replacement. In mid-summer 1966 Gen. Ledford departed and was replaced by Col. Paul N. Bacalis, USAF. Until the fall of 1963 OSA's area of responsibility covered not only manned recon- naissance systems but satellite systems as well. Early in its history, therefore, ASA was deeply involved in the development and operation of CORONA, the initial satellite photographic reconnaissance system. This project started in March 1958 and had its first launch in January 1959. In November 1959 cover was transferred from ABPA to SAFSS/TJSAI. The CORONA program experienced 13 failures before its first success- ful launch occurred on 20 August 1960. Numerous successful launches followed and are continuing with vastly improved photographic equipment. (See OSP Activities Report) With the formation of DSP in the fall of 1965 that office assumed all responsibility for satellite systems, leaving to concerned with manned reconnaissance systems, first the U-2 and followed by OXCART. Highlights of the U-2 project, which was approved by the President in November 1954, include the first flight of a V-2 on 6 October 1955 (eight months after the contract had been let); the first flight over 'USSR and July 1956; the last flight over 138SR on 1 May 1960; and the 50 Agency flights over Cuba (the last on 5 October 1962) immediately preceeding the missile crisis.

The original engine was replaced in 1959 to permit an important altitude J The OXCART project, a successor to the U-2, ich began in September 1954 after earlier Presidential approval, led to the development of the first MACH-3 aircraft. The first fli an OXCART occurred on 26 April 1962 and the first MACH-3 flight took place on 1962. Through August 1936 a total of 245 hours of flight time at MACH--3 or above had been accumulated, The OXC.ABT, a large-scale develop- ment undertaking of CIAg, has demonstrated a capability to produce high-resolution (one foot) photography at penetration altitude and speed, and was declared operationally ready in November 1965. The current OXCART fleet consists of nice air- craft and one trainer. On 1 June 1965 the Agency was authorized to proceed with a deployment plan at g a-dena Afl, Okinawa. By 15 November 1985 support facilities and supplies were in place to permit operation on an emergency basis. By 1 December 1965 arrangements had been completed, making it possible to deploy to this advance base 25X 25X11 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 20 22 : CIA RDP85B00803R000200060 02-5 I'~1 SEC. 25 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/04/22TQE-RME1 0803R000200060002-5 on a fully operational basis within 15 days of a decision to effect Such deployment. The DD/S&T has not had any direct respon- sibility for photographic drone aircraft; however, 08A did perform the initial development on TAGBOARD, a drone version of OXCART. This program has been transferred by RRD to the Air Force.

The former includes biological, medical and behavioral sciences while the latter is concerned principally with the fields of optics, radio physics, physics and chemistr and audio -hysics. ORD began FY 1967 with a 25X budget and a personnel allotment of 25X Approved For Release 2005/04/22 : CIA-RDP85B - 25X TOP SECRET Approved For Release 2005/04/22 : C Wrm E~03R0"00200060002-5 one of the major efforts in the life sciences area is the program to improve and up- grade the performance of the polygraph. This program was initiated in F 1954 with the goal of developing new sensors and improved indicators for the polygraph and automating its operation through the use of computers. Results of this program have already led to the installation of improved equipment in the polygraph rooms and the adoption of new computer methods for exploiting polygraph data. The ORD Audio Surveillance program was inspired by the National secur ty n memorandum No. 170 dated 8 July 1962 in which the White Rouse emphasized the critical importance of audio surveillance in intelligence collection and the extremely serious problem of protecting the U. S. Government from penetration by enemy audio systems. As a result, the CIA-DIA Scientific Guidance panel was convened in 1963 and recommended advanced research efforts in both the audio surveillance and countermeasures areas. The DCI, Mr. McCone, endorsed these recommendations to the White Rouse and gave instructions for these efforts to proceed. Beginning in early 1964, a set of intensive studies and investigations proceeded involving the most advanced technology in microelectronics, peech recording and analysis,, microminiature sensors, laser probe systems, and microwave techniques for the purpose of seeking order-of- magnitude improvements over current technology.

Dr. Chamberlain still serves in this capacity, assisted b y Dr. Karl wooer as deputy. When 081 was assigned to DD/SAT it p collection support was transferred to Collection Guidance Staff (CGS). With the creation of new components within DD/S&T 081 lost some of its other responsi- bilities and personnel. In particular, its ballistic missile and space functions and personnel were reas- signed to augment the Foreign Missile and Space Analysis Center (FMSAC) in October 1965. 081 to responsible for intelligence on foreign scientific and engineering research; and on the design, development, and performance capabilities of foreign devices, products, equipment and systems.

As a first step the Automation Staff of DD/ I merged with the CIA Management Staff and, augmented by fifty DD/I shots, formed the CIA Automatic Data Processing Staff (ADPS). This Staff was placed under the DDlS and charged with (1) establishing a computer center (IBM 1410/1401); (2) carrying on CHIVE (a joint OCR-OCS project to apply computer backup to the central reference facilities of the Agency); (3) technical supervision of DD/S/Comptroller/.ADP Division; and (4) CIA Electronic Data Processing (IDP). With the rapid advances in computer technology the Director recognized the need for a principal center which would consolidate the Agency's assets in this field and coordinate its overall effort. On S August 1963 the ADPS was renamed the Office of Computer Services (OCS) and transferred from DD/S to DD/88T. The rsonnel allocation was increased to through transfer of 25X11 from the Off :*Comptroller. Mr. Jt e Decker served as Director until 1 June 1966 when Mr. Charles A. Briggs of DDI/OCR was named to replace him. An important purpose in establishing OCS was solidify hardware and personnel assets and to build a strong cadre of people capable of applying machines intelligently to Agency research and production work, 25 Approved For Release 2005/04/f O MB10803R000200060002-5 Approved For Release 2005/04/1ts^- 61B00803 R000200060002-5 Early in 1985, after considerable study, the decision was made to convert to third-- generation computer hardware, the ultimate model selected being the IBM 360/67. The OCS Computer .S stems Planni Report was issue-d on une 1995. From that date to the present, the evolutionary process has been going on through smaller 360 computers -- the models 30, 50, and 68, The IN 1400 an"00 series Systems and thel will be replaced early in Luce. Foreign Missile and Space Analysis Center FMSAC, One of the offices more recently established in DD/S&T, had its beginning in November 1963. Its creation was, again, an inevitable development occasioned by the need to improve significantly the technical quality and timeliness of analysis on foreign space and missile activity. On March 1964, construction of a FMSAC Control tenter was completed and a 24-hour watch office was established. Simultaneously a Daily Missile and Space Summary began to be published to describe significant activities on a current basis to the intelligence community. In April 1964, FMSAC commenced the publication of a series of Event Reports. These reports contain a detailed technical analysis of significant Soviet missile and space operations based on all of the information collected by this government on each particular event. Through 31 August 1966, 138 of these reports have been disseminated[__ On 25 October 1985, the missions, functions and analytical responsibilities of the Ballistic Missile and Space Division of the Office of Scientific Intelligence and the Foreign Missile and Space Analysis Center were combined by The new organization ret Approved For Release 2005/0 25_X1 25XXI11 25X1 25X1 TOP S Approved For Release 2005/04/22 : CIA- 100803R000200060002-5 name of FMSAC and Messrs.

At the time of the reorganization a Project Staff was established with responsibility for systems analysis of all foreign missile and space systems except defensive weapons, the preparation of various special assessments, and submissions to National Intelligence Estimates. It was organized into groups responsible for such problems as ICBM and ISBM systems, space systems, tactical, naval, and the various non-Soviet missile and space efforts. Following this merger, arrangements were made with the office of Scientific Intelligence to continue producing certain types of reports through the Production Staff of that Office, there- by negating the need for duplicative production establishments. Since late 1965, a total of 20 reports have been published through this mechanism. in May 1966 when Mr. Duckett was appointed Assistant Deputy Director for DD/S&T, his deputy, Mr. Director, S. Brandwein was named to succeed him as Director, FMSAC. office of Special Projects The beginning of OSP as a formal part of the DD/S&T organization started in the winter of 1963 when an operations analysis group called the Special Activities Staff (BAS) was established under Mr. Jack Maxey. Most of their activities were concerned with support of overhead reconnaissance programs. In August of 1964 the Deputy Director, S&T, obtained DCI approval for designating this group--- then called Special Projects Staff (BPS)--to handle all CIA satellite reconnaissance programs. Later approval in principle was sought for establishing a separate office within DD/SW to perform this function.

A typical CORONA mission provides about 10, 000, 000 square nautical miles of coverage with an average resolution of 10 foot. The project was initiated in 1958, and the first capsule of film was recovered in August 1960. To date, 90 capsules have been returned from 79 launches, and have brought back more than 95 percent of our intelligence photography of the Sino-Soviet Bloc. The CORONA J-3 configuration, scheduled for launch in August 1887, will allow for an 80 an perigee and other improvements thus improving average resolution from 10 to 7 feet. O$P is responsible for the CORONA cameras, recovery vehicle, payload housing and structure including assembly, integration, check- out, pro-launch mission planning, on-orbit camera operation and diagnostics, post mission analysis and evaluation.
