The development of new systems, instruments, materials, and devices for imagery exploitation in- cludes a wide range of optical-mechanical and electronic instrumentation as well as the application of automated systems for the extraction of data from photographic and other image-forming sensors. In addition, the Center provides technical advice and support to government components responsible for the development of new systems for intelligence collec- tion, and coordinates its research and development activity with inter- ested elements of the intelligence community for their own use or fur- ther adaption. The Technical Development Staff is responsible for the development of techniques and equipment which will ensure timely, efficient, and accurate imagery exploitation. This publication presents a summary or catalog of equipment developed and/or in use at NPIC. This presentation will allow the reader to visualize the base upon which research and development in NPIC is conducted. However, it should be noted that this is a listing of equipment only, and does not include R&D activities such as long range studies, exploratory developments, etc. Generally, each item is covered by a short narrative, a photograph or conceptual drawing, and a tabulation of physical characteristics. Where possible, the approximate cost of a pro- duction unit is given; these figures should be used with care, however, as prices will vary, and quantity buying may reduce cost. Items of equip- ment which have been dropped from the program are described and the reasons for termination given. Obsolete items are also included since they may still have some value in field operations. For convenience, the equipment listed is grouped into 3 sections as follows: 1. Reproduction and Processing 2. Viewing and Interpretation 3. Measurement and Evaluation It should be noted here that computer devices grouped under an Information Handling Section have not been listed. NPIC operates both a computer center and an information storage and retrival system using Minicard and is currently investigating techniques and equipment to re- place Minicard. The computer center is currently equipped with an IBM 1401, UNIVAC 490, 494, and two UNIVAC 1004's. It is evolving toward a remote access, multi-programming, multi-processing system that Approved For Release 2002/05$C~RDP99T01396R000300490001-7 Approved For Release 2002/05~g7C RDP99T01396R000300490Mq/R-91/67 will consist of two UNIVAC 494's and associated equipment. NPIC plans to release the IBM 1401 during Fiscal Year 1968, and it is envisioned that the UNIVAC 490 and 1004's will be phased out in 1969. Your comments or criticisms are solicited in order to continually improve this annual product. The overall classification of this publication is SECRET. Individual items have been classified according to their respective security levels.

Designated type ABD/4 (Air-Bearing Drive), it employed the air-bearing principle to transport the film through the drying cabinet on a cushion of air warmed slightly above ambient tempera- tures. The dryer consumed approximately 25 ampers at 230 volts and achieved proper drying conditioning of the roll film to ambient relative humidity at approximately 30 feet per minute. ABD/4 FILM DRYER It occupied only one-fifth of the space of the former equipment. Principal advantages were to be: 1) elimi- nation of direct contact with film surfaces, 2) simplification by eliminating many moving parts, 3) reduction of required maintenance, and 4) improvement of transport methods. The transport method impinged large volumes of air against the film surfaces, resulting in an accelerated drying rate in a smaller compartment. 25X1A Weight 1500 lbs. Size: H 72 in. W 16 in. L 36 in.

SALTZMAN HORIZONTAL ENLARGER (8 BY 10 INCH) With appropriate lenses, this instrument is suitable for enlargements from 7x - 140x, but re- quires long exposure times at large magnifications. The 9.5-inch aerial roll-film folder, which ac- commodates up to 300 feet of film, can be raised, lowered, and tilted to position the de- sired area to be printed from the 9-inch film. This printer can accept 12- by 12-inch color compensating filters for making color prints. The enlarger utilizes four 12-inch pulsating xenon lamps and exposure is accomplished-by the lens crapping method without use of a shutter. The entire unit (less easel) is mounted on a 24-foot track, with the maximum movement being 20 feet. 1 1 t 25X1A Weight: 1, 000 lbs. W 2.9 in. L 6.75 in.

MODIFICATION OF THEIFIG-1 ENLARGER FILM TRANSPORT This enlarger was designed to accommodate film formats up to 9.5 by 9.5 inches and has a maximum magnification power of 7x; however, at the highest magnification only the middle 6 inches of the film can be enlarged because the film cannot be transported perpendicular to the film transport axis. Therefore, the 42- inch-square enlarging table restricts the oper- ator to the middle 6-inch-square area of the negative at 7x. Any imagery outside of this 6-inch area is projected off the printing table. Since it is more advantageous to use the center of the lens field, it would be beneficial to move the original in the "Y" direction (perpendicular to the film transport axis). This modification will allow any portion of the 9.5- by 9.5-inch format to be projected on the printing table at any mag- nification up to the maximum of 7x. One in- strument has been modified to allow movement of the complete film transport system in the "Y direction. t Weight Modification adds approximately 15 lbs. to enlarger Size: Original enlarger not increased Power Requirement None Special Requirements: None Status: Modification completed and additional procurement not anticipated Development Source: NPIC I Approved For Release 2002/05gF(RE4 RDP99TO1396R000300490001-7 Approved For Release 2002105' ECR 11RDP99TO1396ROOO3OO49OO] tT/R-91/67 4.

BRIEFING BOARD COPIER FOR MODIFIED POLAROID CAMERA A Polaroid MP-3 copy camera was modified at NPIC to increase its maximum copy size capability from 20 by 24 inches to 30 by 40 inches to enable it to copy briefing boards of that size. This was accomplished by replacing the original base and lighting assembly with a 3 by 6 feet hardwood top workbench fitted with a double array of flood lamps. The only change in the camera itself is the addition of a tubular spacer between the camera body and its carriage to move the optical centerline out to the center of the larger copy area. The lower set of four lamps duplicates the performance of the original lamps. They swing down out of the way of the upper high intensity lamps when the latter are used for the larger copy size. 1 1 Weight 250 lbs. Size: H 82 in. W 36 in. L 91 in.

It can be used in much the same manner, and for many of the same pur- poses, as the present photo interpreter's tube- magnifier. Experience with microscopes, com- parators, and other direct-viewing equipment has shown that binocular viewing is more comfortable and more effective than monocular viewing. Although both mechanically and optically simple, the binocular tube-magnifier offers ex- cellent image quality. The salient features include a conversion capability whereby a single instru- ment can be quickly modified to produce either IN or 20x magnification; a field of view of 15.5mm at 10x, and 8mm at 20x; an interpu- pillary distance adjustment between 56mm and 76mm; and individual focusing adjustments for both eyes. 25X1A Size: H 6 in.

REAR-PROJECTION CHIP VIEWER (This item is Unclassified) Design parameters are still being formulated on a prototype chip scanner-and-selection unit for the Center's 4- by 5-inch photo interpretation chip. This development is based on the premise that a considerable number of chips from previous missions will have to be correlated with current material, and that a rear-projection viewer utiliz- ing slide-projection techniques would be of great assistance to the photo interpreter in this initial selection and evaluation process. The proposed viewer would have either single or multiple magnification of sufficient resolution for screening purposes and would accept a cassette of previous- coverage chips to enable fast and easy review by the analyst. Such an instrument would also be valuable for group viewing, small briefings, and collateral referencing. Development Source: Proposed for development by NPIC.

STEREO VIEWERS (VERSATILE HIGH-PERFORMANCE STEREO VIEWER The basic characteristics of the versatile high-performance stereo viewer were established by the Model 387 stereo viewer developed under contract to the Bureau of Naval Weapons. The current development by was sponsored by NPIC to expand the versatility and increase the performance of the instrument. This new viewer has a cast frame per- mitting conversion to a 5-micron stereo com- parator. The zoom magnification range is from 1.5x to 128x in 4 steps. The field of view is approximately 36 degrees, an increase of 3 times over the earlier model, with 600 lines/mm reso- lution. The versatility of the optical system is in- dicated by independent magnification, 360-degree image rotation, independent image reversion, crossover of the stereo channels, and binocular monoscopic viewing. Scanning is controlled through a single joystick, but the direction and proportion of the scan is correlated with both the magnification and the rotation setting of the corresponding optical train. Although film is presently handled manually, modifications are underway to add a power-assisted film-transport system. One or 2 rolls between 70mm and 9.5 inches in width and in lengths up to 500 feet can be accommodated. The loop-forming mechanism has been expanded to handle 19 feet of film between sequential stereo pairs. The film is held flat by vacuum while being viewed. I I 1A Weight 4000lbs.

NATIONAL INSTRUMENT LABORATORY ISODENSITRACER The Isodensitracer automatically prints out contour maps of the density distribution in photo- graphs. The contour lines appear as boundaries between regions which are color-coded according to the density. Three different patterns in four different colors plus blank yield a total of 13 different codes, any one of which may be arbi- trarily assigned to any one of 64 increments into which a pre-selected density range is divided. These contours may be made to be as little as 0.008 density units apart. Thus, the Isodensi- tracer print-out can show the existence of an edge with contrast more than an order of magni- tude below the detection threshold of the human eye. The Isodensitracer pictured here is the first of the new four-color models. NPIC also uses single-color Isodensitracers which print out in a three-element code and an Isodensitracer fitted with magnetic-tape read-out through which the density-contour map may be generated by com- puter.

BENSON-LEHNER PLOTTER (MODEL H) (This item is Unclassified) 1 This plotter accepts coordinate input data in digital form and plots a point or symbol at the corresponding location on a 28- by 30-inch plotting table. The input data may be inserted manually from a keyboard, or it can be read automatically from punched paper tape. Other modes of operation include an incremental pro- gramming of the X-axis, so that only Y values need be entered, and an analog-voltage input for direct plotting from certain Benson-Lehner record readers. In operation, the plotting head follows the intersection of two chrome-plated bars which move perpendicularly to each other. Scaling of the plot is variable, and permits optimization of the plot size and exact matching to graph paper held in position by a vacuum- clamp system to prevent accidental displacement during plotting.

CALCOMP PLOTTER AND RECEIVER (MODEL 563) This remote-station plotter is capable of plotting data up to 29.5 inches wide and 120 feet long. The plotter accepts data directly from a computer and can be used at any remote computer outlet. Manufactured by California Computer Products (Calcomp), the plotter is used in conjunction with film readers and chip comparators in support of real-time photo meas- urement. The plotter is a high-speed 2-axis plotter designed for plotting one variable against another. The actual plot is produced by the movement of a pen over the surface of a chart paper; the X-axis by rotary motion of the chart drum, and the Y-axis by lateral movement of the pen carriage. Z-axis motion is provided by a pen solenoid which permits the pen to be lifted or lowered to the plotting surface in response to electrical input signals. A bidirectional rotary- step motor on both the X- and Y-axis drives causes the drum or pen carriage to move 0.01 inch, in either a positive or negative direction, at a rate of 200 steps per second. Because of the rotating-drum method of plotting, this unit offers several advantages over most flatbed plotters. The major advantage is the capability of making much larger-scale plots of elongated objects, such as targets with aspect ratios in excess of 2:1. t I Weight 200 lbs. Size: H 39 in. W 18 in. L 45 in.
