NOIWON REQUIREMENTS QUESTIONNAIRE
Please provide as much justification as possible for each of your answers.
Examples--anecdotes, quantitative or qualitative data would all be helpful.
Assumptions:
- Non-hostile environment,
- No concerns with survivability
- Activity level ranges from routine to crisis
Basic Requirements:
Does the net currently include the "right" subscribers? Do you see a
need to expand the net? To whom? As active or passive participants?
Why? When?
Must the NOIWON be totally dedicated to time-urgent business as at present or
is it possible to share the facility--given rights of pre-emption--for more
routine analyst-to-analyst communications?
Would anything other than a voice capability be adequate, e.g., a teletype
net such as an OPSCOPI or INDICOM?
Does current NOIVION tend to "intimidate" users, e.g., non-technical desk
analysts? What features might make the system more "user friendly?"
How soon after you initiate the NOIWON conference call are all participants
on-line? Is that adequate? If not, what is your minimum time requirement?
What degree of confidence must you have that the NOIWON conference call
will be completed without serious interruption?
Is present voice quality adequate or is greater fidelity required? Would
speakerphones or voice-actuated mikes be helpful?
Voice over graphic
Do you see a need to add a graphics capability to the current NOIWON voice
capability, i.e.,-enable participants to orient the conference around a
common graphic?
What % of current NOIWON calls would be enhanced by use of a common graphic?
Is that likely to change in the future? How?
Would a physically separate, high speed facsimile system prove adequate, or
do you require that the voice and graphics segments be integrated?
Do you anticipate the graphics capability to be used for
-- maps
-- illustrations
-- text
-- imagery
-- other (specify)

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/05/08: CIA-RDP91 B00776R000500040073-3
What resolution graphic would you require?
-- PI quality, e.g. soft copy
-- Magazine quality, e.g. laserfax
-- TV quality (525 lines)
-- Washfax quality
Would you require a hard copy print out of the graphics?
Would you require a "pointing" capability, e.g., a telestrator
Will it be necessary to manipulate the graphic, e.g., zoom, shade, etc.
This might especially apply to imagery.
Do you require a wide assortment of maps or charts to be available on demand
to assure the proper graphic for the NOIWON?
What kinds of charts or maps? scale? overlays? How many?
TELECONFERENCING
Do you see a need to provide watch officers a-teleconferencing capability,
i.e., face-to-face viewing similar to the Bell "Picturephone?"
If so, which of the following capabilities would you require?
-- Slow scan
-- Normal scan
-- Virtual space
-- Telestrator
-- High definition TV
