SUBJECT: Office of Data Processing
FY 1983 Long-Range Plan
21 2 DEC 498?
1. I have reviewed your proposed long-range plan for FY 1983 and
suggest that the following items be tracked as first-year objectives in
addition to being five-year goals:
END-USER PROGRAMMING
CORPORATE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Please forward appropriate milestone charts to the DA Plans Officer.
2. My interest in End-User Programming is similar to that expressed
in your plan. I trust you have allocated sufficient resources to this
effort, especially in the areas of consulting and problem determination.
Hopefully, this will alleviate other demands made on you for software
services. Please keep me informed of specific progress in this area.
3. In requesting you to track Corporate Management Systems, I
recognize there is potential duplication with the individual project
objectives. However, I believe it is necessary to provide for eventual
interoperability of these systems and therefore appropriate provision for
interfaces/data standardization/integration must be made early in the design
stage. The eventual goal is, of course, the capability to use the totality
of these systems for better overall corporate management/reporting and
this requires an integrated approach with information from these systems
being accessible in a user-friendly manner by all levels of the management
structure. Therefore, I believe we should track progress toward this goal.
4. Your overall plan is excellent. I have approved it with the
above modification and look forward to meeting with you quarterly to
review progress and discuss problems.

DATA PROCESSING LONG-RANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
This plan describes the goals and objectives of the office of
Data Processing (ODP) and attempts to guide ODP and other Agency
managers in their plans to acquire and use automatic data
processing (ADP) resources to more effectively fulfill the
intelligence mission. There are other planning exercises by the
Information Handling Systems Architect (IHSA) and on
survivability at both the DDA and DCI levels, which may impact
future ODP plans. No major change is anticipated in the manner
ODP performs as the provider of a central ADP network. This plan
is designed to complement other Directorate and overall Agency
plans and to make ODP managers and users aware of ODP objectives,
areas of responsibility and established priorities.
Furthermore, this plan is directed toward the size and nature of
future data-processing workloads, and actions necessary to keep
abreast of changes; it is neither directed toward specific
computer hardware nor to organizational requirements. Rather,
this plan provides the framework for decisions that will keep ODP
technologically current and effective as an organization, enhance
the quality of ODP services, increase customer satisfaction, and
improve the intelligence product. To accomplish these goals, ODP
will continue to work closely with the Office of Communications
(OC) on telecommunication plans with the Office of Logistics (OL)
in providing automated printing and micrographic services and
with the Information Systems Security Group, OS on improving ADP
security.

Major technological advances continue to improve ODP's methods
and capabilities for providing service. Equally important, end
users have increasingly become a central factor because they are
more involved in developing new systems and in defining systems
requirements. ODP's improved flexibility is made possible by
lower hardware costs. Other factors pointing to a new era in the
Agency's information-handling capability are improved
communications and enhanced database capabilities. In addition,
users may exercise greater control over services deemed critical
to their operations.
During this planning period, ODP will continue to evaluate new
developments in ADP technology. The most significant advances
anticipated are increased miniaturization of hardware components,
increased central processing unit (CPU) speeds, faster, higher
density peripheral devices, improved network architecture,
greater reliance on interactive applications, improved graphics
capability, high-quality printing, and increased use of personal
computers.
Use of online storage devices such as direct-access storage
devices (DASDs) also will expand. Furthermore, improved hardware
and software will significantly increase the amount of online
information directly accessible to users of ODP services.
Major technological advances in communications are expected. Use
of remote terminals, located at great distances from the computer
and eventually supporting users not now being served, will
substantially increase, as will the use of direct communications
among computers.
During the period under consideration in this long-range plan,
ODP must continue to develop operational plans with other offices
in such areas as communications, security, printing, and computer
output microfilm (COM).
ODP must support a common set of standard services that can be
adapted to individual user situations. ODP also must continue
(again in concert with other concerned offices) to seek ways to
assure secure and uninterrupted service.
Among ODP's chief concerns in the coming decade will be the
acquisition of a viable mass-storage option. The most promising
alternative being considered is the optical video disk. Although
this device works well for imagery storage and retrieval, the
error rate for data storage and retrieval, so far, is
unacceptable. In addition Intelligent Data base Machines (IDM),
under investigation as part of the CAMS 2 Processing Segment
(P/S) project, will be closely monitored to see if they suit
other applications.

Additionally, Project SAFE, under ODP management, must be
implemented successfully for the DDI and integrated into the
current ODP operational organization, and SAFE-like services must
be developed for other customers in particular the DO.

In its long-range plans, ODP must assume that:
Financial resources will be made available to ensure an
adequate level of ADP services.
0 Increases in manpower resources will be modest.
? Customer requirements for ADP services will continue to
expand at projected rates.
End users will become more self-sufficient in fulfilling
software requirements which now require the attention of
ADP professionals.
Technological changes will continue, in particular in the
area of office automation tools.
The Agency will become increasingly dependent upon online
ADP systems. This will require constant attention to and
improvement in systems availability.

Innovations in the fields of telecommunications and database
systems have provided end users with the capability to develop
their own software--structured to fit the needs and priorities of
their own organizations. As a result, system development by the
central computer organization has become oriented toward
requirements which call for more complex and sophisticated
systems. Problem determination and correction will call for a
higher level of technical expertise in both hardware and
software. Computer operators will need more technical
sophistication to manage the range of requirements among
dispersed equipment. Increased complexity of software for unique
applications means that more systems software experts will be
needed to aid users and provide interface with the central
facilities.
ODP's goal is to create a category of service that provides a
variety of support (consulting and problem determination) to user
programming, with emphasis on software packages adaptable to the
maximum number of requirements. ODP will put increasing emphasis
on standardizing ADP hardware and software to simplify procedures
for self-help.
The automated office offers a category of services to customers
that will allow a smooth transition to automation with software
and hardware that are both friendly and adaptable to a normal
office environment. ODP plans a variety of tools that when
implemented will offer significant enhancements of many routine
office functions such as word processing, electronic mail and
graphics support.
To keep the capabilities of its ADP professionals at a level
commensurate with the latest technology ODP will obtain the
latest in Computer-assisted Instructions (CAI) facilities to
provide training and assistance whenever possible.
Project SAFE (Support for the Analysts' File Environment) plans
are designed to manage access to intelligence documents and open-
source information received by CIA in electrical form.

Electrical documents, arriving at the rate of approximately 3,500
messages per day, will be stored in computer files within the
SAFE system. The original development effort experienced
difficulties resulting in a redirection of the project in the
summer of 1982. This new direction emphasizes a lower risk
integration approach and features compatibility with currently
installed computer resources and the use of commercially
available software. In 1983, a separate computer center will be
provided to support a CIA and DIA early SAFE capability based on
the currently operational Pilot Mail Operation (PMO) and the AIM
electronic mail system.
Major enhancements to the current CAMS production systems were
frozen in 1982. This will allow the completion of CAMS 2 P/S in
FY 1984 when a new collection system comes online. There are
additional collection systems planned for FY 1985 and FY 1988.
Major enhancements are planned for CAMS 2 P/S to support these
collectors. The CAMS 2 P/S system will be designed to support
significantly more users than CAMS I. Major CPU upgrades of the
CAMS hardware to IBM 3081 class machines will be required.
The VM service was split in FY 1982 and placed on two CPUs. A
larger 3081 class CPU was installed in FY 1982 in addition to the
3033MP. The addition of another 3081 class CPU in FY 1983 to
replace the 3033MP will provide improved response times for users
and support up to 940 concurrent users.
The Batch service was consolidated to a single CPU in FY 1982 to
provide greater reliability. The goals are: to provide
reasonable turnaround during prime time; to process all jobs
overnight; and to provide adequate backup. The annual growth
role for Batch service has remained fairly constant at 20 percent
for some years.
The GIMS service has also continued to grow at a fairly constant
rate. However, in FY 1983 the rate is expected to increase with
the advent of new financial management systems. To keep pace
with this growth ODP will install a new IBM 3081 class CPU in FY
1983 for GIMS production and development. This should be
adequate to meet demands for this planning period.
The DO service has been upqraded and now has a subset of all
25X1 services available in the Center. In early FY 1983, an
Amdahl V/8 will be moved o e I Center to handle DO
online applications and the IBM 158 CPU will be moved out.
Backup will then be provided by an Amdahl V/6 class CPU. These
actions will meet stated DO requirements by providing the DO with
a security-compartmented GIMS and VM service and a single system

to process critical online applications. This critical backup
can be provided now even if CAMS is also in a backup
configuration. In addition ODP will collaborate with the DO on
the ALLSTAR upgrade effort.
ODP is deeply involved in developing and upgrading the corporate
management systems used by the Agency in its day-to-day
operations. Working closely with the Offices of Logistics and
Finance, ODP has committed major resources to new logistics and
unified payroll systems. ODP also is a major supporter of OL in
its efforts to increasingly automate the printing and
reproduction processes. The automation of medical records also
is an ongoing endeavor with the Office of Medical Services
(OMS). A new Personnel Resource Information Management (PRIM)
System is being developed jointly with the Office of Personnel
(OP) to make data from the PERSIGN system more readily available
to Agency line managers. A new project, TRIS---The Records
Information System---has been started for OIS to develop a single
Agency automated document records system.

ODP has selected five objectives for systematic reporting that
are supportive and relevant to ODP and DA goals. While there are
many other objectives, the following are selected because of
their impact on other offices and the total Directorate of
Administration effort to fulfill its mission.
DA83-1: COMIREX Automated Management System (CAMS)
ODP is responsible to COMIREX (DCI Committee on Imagery
Requirements and Exploitation) for the development and operation
of CAMS. ODP also is responsible for the development of the
processing segment for the new CAMS 2 P/S system. The new system
(CAMS 2 P/S) will process requirements specifications through
user-oriented, preformatted terminal displays and a general query
language. It will be organized into a series of interlinked
files providing CAMS 2 P/S users with access to an extensive and
integrated store of imagery-related data. CAMS 2 P/S data access
is centered around the following parameters:
Nominations
Targets
Requirements
Accomplishments
Tasking
Monitoring
History
In addition to the above, CAMS 2 P/S will generate numerous
reports. Future requirements are for both online and offline
reports dealing with such areas as accomplishments, planning,
resource utilization, cost/target analysis, film distribution,
and data entry. These reports will be produced on either a
scheduled or an as-needed basis. The first phase of CAMS 2 P/S
must be operational in May 1984.
DA83-2: Message-Handling Facility (MHF)
Replacement and upgrading of the existing message processing
system is primarily an OC responsibility. The new project will
be an integrated system to provide a comprehensive, automated,
two-way message handling and message dissemination facility. it
will replace and enlarge the current Cable Dissemination System
with easily expandable, commercially available, general purpose

hardware and will utilize a general purpose software language.
MHF will ensure that electronic messages are disseminated rapidly
and accurately. ODP plans to fully support OC in hardware
selection and software development. ODP will share DDA reporting
responsibilities, as requested by OC. The objective is to
achieve an initial operating capability by FY 1984.
DA83-3: Automated Compensation and Information System (ACIS)
The Automated Compensation and Information System (ACIS) is a
joint ODP and Office of Finance (OF) effort to consolidate and
update the Agency's payroll system. The aim is to have an online
information database using current information oriented toward
reducing OF's manual workload. Primary attention is given to
automating manual functions, consolidating existing payroll
systems, and optimizing data transfer between ACIS and other
automated systems. Major ACIS objectives are to:
? Provide an integrated management information system
through consolidating similar payroll functions across the
four existing systems.
? Provide entry of all required payroll data with minimal
Compensation Division/OF manual intervention.
Automatically compute pay, leave, deductions, and
allotments in accordance with current law and policy.
Automatically record required historical data and provide
timely access to this data through a flexible query and
reporting capability.
? Provide system design and software maintenance
documentation that will facilitate timely changes.
DA83-4: Logistics Integrated Management System (LIMS)
To meet DA needs, an efficient and flexible automated logistics
system must be developed. The system must include or communicate
with materiel management systems within the Agency, as well as
access with adequate security controls, GSA and Department of
Defense supply systems. Every effort will be made to integrate
and streamline supply, procurement, and financial requirements,
and to provide an overall logistics management information
system. The target date for initial operations is late 1985.
Several related activities under this objective permit end users
to develop individual office information systems structured to
their own needs and priorities. The available hardware and

software will be friendly and adaptable to a normal office
environment. Among the items to be included in this activity
are:
Managing the procurement, installation and maintenance of
standard word processors and office automation systems.
? Developing a VM-based word-processing service.
Developing the Automatic Information Management (AIM)
system as the Agency-wide electronic mail facility.
? Establishing output media centers.
? Establishing a capability for remote device support.
Providing maintenance, training and documentation support.
This will be an ongoing "umbrella" activity with multiple
deliveries over many years.

the "Objective and Action Plans" for each of the five objectives
cited above.

The critical resource implications and potential budgeting
problems for the five ODP objectives are listed below.
The Preliminary Design Review for the CAMS II Processing Segment
was completed in March 1982. At that time, the Government
requested the development contractor to conduct a cost-to-
complete exercise which resulted in an Engineering Charge
Proposal (ECP) for the development contract. The increased cost
in 1983 is $1,500K to support the ECP. The increased cost in
1983 has been identified by ODP as a hard unfunded requirement.
Resource estimates for the Message Handling Facility (MHF)
objective will be developed by the Office of Communications.
The Automated Compensation and Information System (ACIS)
resources are in the FY 1984 budget as a new initiative. If this
package is approved (along with the subsequent years, through FY
1987) there should be sufficient resources to complete this
proj ect.
Acquiring resources for the Logistics Integrated Management
System (LIMS) objective is the responsibility of the Office of
Logistics. ODP is working closely with OL on the development of
resource requirements.
The Automated Office (AO) objective will utilize a variety of ADP
skills. ODP Processing personnel will be involved in various
aspects of hardware/software development and implementation. ODP
will continue to budget for some, but by no means all terminals,
while individual components will budget for some terminals and
word processing and office automation equipment. ODP plans to
provide OA resources as an extension of the central computer
facility service. For example, should such services as AIM
become widely used, as seems highly likely, online storage

requirements would significantly increase and the hardware
schedule (long range) for VM service enhancements would have to
be accelerated. Resource implications will be reviewed at the
quarterly meetings.

IV. SUPPORT TO THE PHASE III CAPABILITIES STUDY
The requirement to provide a?comprehensive analysis of the
impact of the capabilities papers on support operations suggests
that a detailed, quantitative response is warranted. The
information and data in the capabilities papers, although
comparatively extensive and probably an Agency first, does not
lend itself to detailed, quantitative analysis and was probably
not intended as such. We therefore address the papers from a
broad long-range perspective, define resources on a scale of
general order of magnitude, and at a theoretical/estimative
range. Actual implementation cost will need much more detailed
study.
A pervasive theme throughout the Phase III capability
studies is the call for improved information handling. Con-
curren,t with the Phase III papers, the Agency's Information
Handling Architect had produced a Strategic Plan which focuses on
improving productivity through increased automation of
information handling for the period 1985-1989. This increased
automation is manifested primarily in extending electronic
information tools to the office environment; the plan envisions
every professional worker having an electronic work environment
at hand, with the supporting communications and computing
infrastructure. The principal efforts required to achieve this
increased level of automation include:
Develop an Integrated and Coherent Architecture - an
Agency-wide architecture is required to assure the IHSs
operate within an integrated network.
0 Automation of the Office Environment - approximately
10,000 terminals are to be in operation by the end of the
decade.
Develop a Communications Network, Internetting the
Agency's Major Processing and User Service Functions -
Overseas, Intelligence Community, and Headquarters
facilities are to be internetted.
0 Enhance Processing Capabilities and User Utility Through
Increased Capacity of Central Systems, Distribution of
Processing and Applications of Special Purpose Machinery
- the office automation program is to be supported with a
substantial increase in computing capabilities.
0 Provide a New Family of Interoperating Administrative
Systems - a family of new systems is to be developed
filling automation voids and providing increased
interoperability.

environment of the future is to be implemented.
Improve Information and Information Resource Management -
Agency-wide standards, procedures, and facilities for
handling information and information resources are to be
developed.
There are two predominant, relatively specific issues raised
in these planning papers: support to the DI and office
automation. In addition, there are many less specific
requirements, some of which are implied, which will impact the
ODP level of effort over the next ten years. For the most part,
these are not new requirements. Only the magnitude and urgency
will change. Project SAFE is the backbone for ADP support for
analysts in the DI. Existing plans call for SAFE to support 1250
analysts. The SAFE design concept has been designed and funded
around this figure. The addition of more analysts requested in
this pJ,,an will cause a significant increase in the SAFE workload
and tei~minal requirements. It would be premature to attempt to
discuss additional requirements for SAFE support in the midst of
efforts associated with the redirection of the SAFE project. A
study will be required to analyze the impact and to determine the
feasibility and cost of the needed SAFE system enhancements.
While SAFE is intended to support DI analysts, the
implementation of office automation capability has more general
applicability across the Agency. ODP has competitively selected
a contractor, Wang Laboratories, for an Agency-wide standard word
processor and office automation system. The contract includes
Wang support for initial surveys, maintenance, and training. It
is anticipated that with sufficient component funds, this effort
could be expanded to whatever level is necessary for additional
Agency analysts, technicians, and clerical personnel.
Additional Requirements:
During the early 1970's, ODP was overtaken by accelerated
user demands for data processing capability. Central
processing capacity was woefully inadequate to cope with
demands for service. Extraordinary efforts were
undertaken in the mid-1970's to acquire new computer
hardware to address the mushrooming requirements. The
efforts were successful. In addition to solving the
immediate problem for additional computing resources, the
procurement strategy and defense became the model for
subsequent successful acquisitions of computer
hardware. Since the mid-1970's, ODP has managed to just
keep pace with increased user demand.
However, ODP's capability to support user requirements
for new applications software development fell behind
demand levels. A seven year period of zero increases in
numbers of applications programmers (ignoring a modest

complement of four staff positions for the TADS project)
ended in FY 82. But an estimated two to three year
backlog of requirements for applications development has
developed.
ODP is addressing the need for increased applications
software development in three ways: obtaining additional
personnel slots for applications programmers, increasing
the use of contract development, and by helping the users
to help themselves when feasible. While ODP has been
successful in defending new staff positions for the
development of ACIS for example, it is clear that there
will never be enough applications programmers to
undertake to directly satisfy all the requirements for
service levied on ODP. ODP personnel will thus be
increasingly engaged in contract monitoring (as we
increase the use of contracted development efforts), and
in efforts to give users the ability to exploit the
potential of data processing on their own. The newly
established information center will be the focus of
efforts to provide the users with assistance in simple
data processing tasks - programming, data base
manipulation, simple graphics, etc.- which will help free
ODP's professional programmers and allow them to
concentrate on complex problems like ACIS development.
All of the above strategies - obtain more staff
personnel, increased use of development contracts, and
increased user involvement in data processing activities
- will address the necessity for general programming
support for a wide spectrum of data processing
requirements. As the Agency population increases, the
need for such strategy becomes more apparent.
Two more specific categories of support requirements
continue to receive increasing attention - modeling
capability and computer graphics. Requirements for
increased use of sophisticated mathmatical models may
develop such that a new scientific computing capability
will be required. Such models are most efficiently run
on a computer designed to optimize processing oriented
toward scientific and engineering problems rather than
the general - purpose computers employed by ODP. A new
scientific computing capability could be expected to
entail costs of dollars for.
hardware alone. And there will be a need for an
additional ODP staff positions to support
the activity.
The use of computer graphics can provide dividends in the
areas of presentation graphics, publication graphics,
analytical support, imagery analysis, and computer aided
design. While individual components with specific needs
such as the cartographers in OCPAS/CDC make very good use
of computer graphics capability, we do not offer easy-to-

use capability for the general use of the ODP user
community. Demand can be expected to grow for such
capability, and indeed, the potential and promise of
computer graphics capability as demonstrated with such
systems as CAMSTACK, foster continuing new interest in
exploiting the technology.
Additional requirements include the need for extended
automated publication facilities. As more and more of
the Agency's information holdings are converted to
electronic form, there will be increasing demand to go
straight to publication in that form. More electronic
paths to more ETECS-like capabilities will be required.
We must also develop means for data archival for storage
and backup. A requirement for reliably storing huge
volumes of electronic data has existed for sometime.
This requirement will take on new importance as disaster.
plans are more carefully formulated and detailed. But
technology has not yet quite evolved to the point to
permit serious planning to satisfy that requirement. We
will continue to monitor technological developments in
this area.
As computer systems proliferate and as electronic data
holdings grow, systems security will correspondingly
become of greater concern. ODP will continue to work
closely with ISSG to identify and resolve security
vulnerabilities and improve our security posture.
Increased activity in this area will likely generate a
need for additional information systems security officers
from ISSG..
A growing and increasingly sophisticated customer
population which depends more and more on data processing
to accomplish the daily workload demands increased
availability and reliability. Central service customers
would like to have their terminals work just like their
telephones do in terms of availability. That is,
telephone availability is perceived to be nearly 100
percent. ODP systems availability (which the users see
through their terminal) is only 97 percent, so there is a
three percent margin for improvement. But that three
percent improvement (nearly three percent--we cannot
reach 100 percent) will require improved hardware
technology, redundant equipment, improved
telecommunications, reduced software errors, and reduced
procedural errors. ODP will improve systems
availability, but progress will be difficult and slow.
No mention is made of personal computers (PC). ODP is in a
position to address the issue of TEMPEST approved PCs networked
to the central facility, should the requirement surface, in two
ways: use of the Delta Data with a floppy disk, or use of the

Wang Alliance system which has the ability to support the CP/M
operating system.
As planned, OC is presently implementing a major replacement
program which will result in a more modern network. The thrust
of the planning papers is quite clear; they describe an ever-
expanding customer work force which must use progressively more
modern techniques. Technical tools which multiply the customers'
effectiveness will also find wider application. This robust
growth shows that the challenge that OC will face in the coming
decade will be to maintain its current high-level of service
while meeting the changes in customer demands. To do this, OC
must continually improve its service profile, modernize its
network, and provide the qualified professionals to run that
ever-changing network. By 1988, the services available from the
backbone network will include the potential for narrative
traffic, bulk data service, secure voice, teleconferencing and
facsimile. Any service will be provided error free with
cryptographic protection. Where desired, users (e.g., CRAFT,
SAFE, COG as well as DOS and SCS) will be able to have a
dedicated port on the network which will appear to them to be a
point-to-point circuit. In fact, literally anything that can be
converted to a digital signal can be transported by the future
network.
Each site connected to the future network will continue to
need a primary and an alternate means of communications. Of
these, most will be SKYLINK satellite locations capable of high-
speed operations. Power limitations imposed by the DoD on the
users of the satellites, however, will not allow simultaneous use
of the entire SKYLINK capability. High frequency radio will be
the primary carrier at most remaining sites with an alternate
role at others. OC will also use commercial leases to augment
connectivity and to satisfy unusual requests. This total network
will be capable of dynamic reallocation to meet the requirements
of an ever-changing customer demand.
Probably the most significant growth through the period will
be in the domestic network. In the metropolitan area complex,
the growing demand for the projected ten thousand interactive
data terminals prompted a large-scale expansion of the Langley
grid. Up to 100 Delta Data terminals per month are currently
being installed for interactive operation with ODP. Secure voice
expansion began with the activation of the DBX-5000 switch in
Headquarters (1000 instruments thus far) and DBX-1200 switches at
four other sites. OC's present goal is to expand the secure
voice system by 100 instruments per month through 1985. The move
to new metropolitan locations and major upgrade of existing
facilities will (by 1984) see OC install major new communications
support systems in 15 buildings/sites. SAFE and the 4-C program
add to this heavy workload.' They require major new additions to
the grid system and add to the number of data channels passing
through the technical control facility. Through this period, OC
will be installing, operating, and maintaining more telephones,

crypto, statistical multiplexers, secure grid, facsimile and
alphanumeric terminal systems. Concurrently, the microwave
system will also be expanded to handle more ultrawideband
channels and better error detection will be provided. OC will
also be preparing for MERCURY, Message Handling Facility, and the
new Headquarters annex. It is a goal that by the end of the
decade most electrical cables coming into the Agency will be
disseminated in electronic form rather than paper. In addition,
much of the operational and administrative information
distributed in the Agency will be in electronic form.
Outside the metropolitan area, OC is responding to the
domestic needs by upgrading circuit speeds, relocating certain
stations, and introducing the first wave of modern terminal
equipment. In fact, this portion, of the network is expected to
grow from its current 150 sites to about 500 by the end of the
decade. To meet this challenge, OC will be providing a broader
range of services to a greater number of domestic customers than
ever before. Secure voice (KY-71/STU-II) and data (KG-84) crypto
along with modern terminal and transmission equipment will be
introduced, at first, to satisfy some of the new locations (field
and contractor) that do not have existing communications links.
Later, major retrofitting and/or installations will finish the
job. All future installations to satisfy the total growth will
be made to this standard.
The total global network will thus see a significant growth
in both size an capability by the end of the decade. The major
gains will be made in the near term through meeting the goals of
the Recapitalization Program. Versatility in OC's responses will
also allow it to adjust its course to respond to the dynamic flow
of the customers' needs. In the outyears of 1989 to 1992, this
rapid growth will be sustained by continuing to expand the number
of sites that are supported while accelerating the modernization
of the equipment.
