2. has estab-
lished an in

order to consolidate corporate-wide capabilities in
one organization.
3. Of particular interest to NPIC is the fact
that is
25X1
der contract with the Army Map Service for a comprehensive
systems
analysis. This is the first knowledge the Technical Planning Staff .
ha had of a contractual activity of a sighificant scope in an orga-
nization closely related to NPIC problems. The contract is for an ?
improvement in management systems, an improvement in data storage
and retrieval methods, and an improvement in scientific processing
of mapping information.
4. The ANS systems analysis is being accomplished in a three-
phase program which started in July 1966 and is scheduled for completion
in early 1968. The phases are as follows:
a. Phase I, which is completed, was to study the ANS
and interfacing organizations to determine requirements.
b. Phase II will detail an operational system to meet
the three prime contractual objectives.
c.. Phase III will provide ANS with specifications for
data processing equipmentto implement Phase II.:
5. is applying specialists in cartography, geodesy, data
rocessing, and data management systems professionals headquartered in
7,he Division's Washington; D.C. office. 15 of these. men have appro-
priate clearances necessary to.completely examine the ARE operation.
These men, therefore, have clearances for NPIC activities and a back-
ground of experience.
6. The Technical Plannin Staff will attempt to obtain copies
.of progress reports from of AMS.

T. have also performed or are still performing systems
analysis work for:
a. FAA - User need survey
b. DDC/DDR&E - Tech & Scientific user need survey
c. AMC - Technical Data Package/Configuration Management
System for 5 commodity commands.
d. HEW/Office of Education - Project output dissemination
and management control system.
e. Department of Interior/Bonneville Power Administration
System design study of electrical power stability, optimization
of generation, automated billing and management sys-5em.
f. USMC - Project TRUMP design of a centralized automated
data bank containing maintenance data which, will be remotely
queried by Marine commands around the world.
g. State of California - Implementation of management
of Feather River Program and Pollution Study of San Francisco
Bay-Delta area.
h., ACDA - Various Arms Control Programs including sensor
surveys, target requirements, and design of test programs and
simulation studies: WEC-30, ST 105, WEC 65 and VISTA I. _
i. USA Personnel Research Office - Analyzing operatiOnal
reconnaissance imagery and structuring human factor tests to?
optimize interpretation techniques.
7. states that they can provide ample understanding of the
image interpretation function by virtue of a Staff of 6 - 8 image inter-
preters with both R&D and multisensor operational experience. They also
state they can provide experts to implement and train customer ersonnel
for all systems it designs. The current professional level of is
around 500 persons.
