1. The Chairman referred to the draft on the above subject
as prepared by his office and circulated to members of the Working
Group on 2 June 1966, and stated that our principal order of business
was to receive comments and make revisions, as appropriate, on the
draft paper in concern. The Working Group completed review of
about 2/3 of a draft paper, during which the ;principal areas of
discussion centered around the significance of tradeoffs affectin
development activity, capabilities of systems (including
current geodetic improvements, and concern as to
whether additional technical details involving design criteria be
established for inclusion in the paper.

Progress on Pan Geometry
2. I of NRO stated that recent reviews
with the contractor had disclosed that progress on calibrating the
KH-4 panoramic camera for geometric purposes was falling far
short of design goals in that repeatability tests carried out under
laboratory conditions were not showing satisfactory results.

be expected to provide much improved data during early missions.

Validation of Photogrammetric Control Nit Accuracy Requirements
3. In connection with item 1, above;; stated 25X1 A
that it would be necessary to change accuracy requirements data
based on recent validation actions? He referred to the accuracy
requirements for photogrammetric control net. It had been
indicated tentatively in DoD recommendations submitted to COMOR
on 16 December 1965 to 1:5, 000 horizontally, and 1:20, 000
vertically. It had been concluded earlier that missiles with-ranges
of 20-500 miles were expected to require accuracy, but recent
validation actions had indicated that the photogrammetric control
net accuracy requirement for such missiles was not more demanding
than required for long range missiles. Accordingly, DoD would
again review the accuracy requirement for photogrammetric control
net for the orderly production of continuous coverage of maps and
charts (approximately 1:5, 000 accuracy), and would have revised
figures in 10 days to 2 weeks that could be included in the require-
ments paper before forwarding to the USIB.
