OCS PERSONNEL RECRUITMENT
Statement to be included in Recruiters' Handbook on
behalf of OCS
The 0 C S operates the CIA Computer Center. It furnishes
computer systems analysis and design, programming, and
equipment operations support on an Ag8ncy-wide basis.
Advanced ADP equipment and techniques are employed in a wide
range of applications. These include scientific computing
(e.g., orbital mechanics, trajectory analysis, cartography,
and signal analysis); management data processing (8.g.,
fiscal, logistics, and perpecnel); special data manipulation,
including statistical analysis and modeling; and information
storage and retrieval. In support of these applications, we
develop and apply advanced computer systems techniques such
as teleprocessing, multi-tasking, add time-sharing. Facili-
ties include large general-purpose computers, remote
interrogation and display devices, high-precision plotters,
analog/digital equipment, and special-purpose processors.
We encourage career development in the information sciences,
training for advancement, and active participation in pro-
fessional groups.
