From: D/FMSAC Sub: The CHICOM Technological Base
One major problem in Chicom m/s field has been to discern the
outline of the native Chinese program from within the framework
of the previously planned Sino-Sovitt effort. Later Chicoms
appeared to be seriously interest in MRBM (500 to 1500 nm range)
Amount of Intel FMSAC able to distil on research, development and
testing of Chicom ballistic missiles not enough to satisfy
national intel objectives. There is a large volume of available
indirect information and a great deal of raw intelligence bearing
on the missile problem which has not been exploited because of
the great volume and the fact that the missile/space connotations
are not obvious and must be searched for, and manpower had not
to this time been available.
