1. (S/NOFORN) This was #01's fourth session against
(Project 8003a). Previous sessions were CCC25, CCC331 and CCC41. Prior
to this session, #01 was shown an aerial photo of the target installation
which had all marginal information concealed from view using opaque
paper masking (ref session CCC41). On this photo, the targeted building

session CCC41.

(S/NOFORN) This was #66's fourteenth session against Project 8003a.
~'#66 also interviewed during session CCC98. Although that session was
against a different geographic area, it did result in relative data
regarding the type of equipment being sought. Therefore, #66 may have
suspected the true nature of targeting as being interconnected with that
of session CCC98.
3. (C/NOFORN) A copy of attached Intelligence Report in MFR format
dated 23 May 80 was provided to the SED action officer by LTC Watt on
28 May 1980.

1. (U) The following information applies:
a. (S/NOFORN) Source provided the following information regarding exterior
observations of a structure at subject installation (Inclosure 1):
(1) (S/NOFORN) The exterior of the structure consists of metal walls
having high windows up the sides. The building (appeared) large enough (in
height) to accommodate two storys, but only had one story inside.
(2) (S/NOFORN) One side of the building faces a longer building across
a narrow area surfaced with thick, hardened concrete. This side of the building
(which faces the other building) has large sliding doors and slightly inclined ramps
accessing it. Windows in this side of the building are located just under the
eaves of the structure. The eaves are approximately 25 feet above the hardened
concrete area.
(3) (S/NOFORN) The building was described as a "plant type" of struc-
ture, (appearing) to-constitute merely one "plant" within a group of "plants".
Source observed a "hum" of activity and steam powered equipment. Source deduced
that activity at this "'plant is based on raw material which comes from a nearby
foundary.
b. (S/NOFORN) Source provided the following information regarding interior
observations of the same structure (Inclosure 1):
(1) (S/NOFORN) Upon accessing the interior of the structure from the
reinforced. concrete area between the building and the longer building-opposite,
a large "bay" area is entered. A large "S" shaped assembly area occupies nearly
all of this "bay".
(2) (5/NOFORN) The area of this "bay" is described as having heat,
utnachines, high pitched whining noises, impact hammering on thick steel, and
heavy metal machining. The "bay" was described as a complicated, multiple
step manufacturing area where a raw form resembling a turret for an armored
vehicle is finished to a certain point. These turrets were initially described
as resembling "globs of steel" of a "thick pancake" shape having holes in their
tops and "stubby boom pipe or tube affairs" on their ends. The steel was desc-
ribed to be of varying thicknesses (8" to 16") depending upon the area of the
turret at which it was located.

..,
(3) (S/NOFORN) Source stated that two (apparent) functions occur
within the building. Within the "bay" area, finishing work and check out of
turret assemblies is accomplished.. Interconnecting turret parts are properly
fitted and finished through a measuring and seating process. Each component is
identified with a number, correlated to its related components (like an
individual turret assembly), and sent to another part of the plant. Continuity
of the "matched" parts is.thereby maintained throughout the assembly process.
At the other end of the building, objects resembling"gun tubes were X-rayed for
defects, metallurgical quality control, and purity.
c. (S/NOFORN) Source provided the following information regarding the
turrets (Inclosure 2) which were observed within the building:
(1) (S/NOFORN) Three different turrets were observed, two of which
were essentially similar and appeared to be different variants of the same model
(Al & A2, Inclosure 2 & 3). A third turret (B, Inclosures 2 & 3) was signif-
icantly different in size and contour.
(2) (S/NOFORN) Turret Al was described as a "humpbacked" turret which
had something resembling a counterbalance on its rear. Turret A2 had no such
extension, but rather had a "'cut-out" appearing area on its rear which extended
around the side. Source reported the major differences between turrets Al and
A2 to be that turret Al had a "harder" turret and a "bigger" barrel (Inc.losure
4), but that visually they appeared nearly the same except when viewed from the
side. Source observed more Al turrets in the building than A2 or B turrets.
(3) (S/NOFORN) Source stated turrets Al and A2 were fitted to chassis
which were essentially similar in appearance, except that the chassis corres-
ponding to turret Al appeared to be "more raked" than that which corresponded
to turret A2 (Inclosure 5).
(4) (S/NOFORN) Source stated that the components turret B, barrel B,
and chassis B (See Inclosures 2,3,&4) appeared to correspond to an older model
tank being refurbished. The Al and A tanks and components, however, appeared
to be undergoing original assembly. The B tank had a narrower "snout" on the
turret, a barrel length about 2/3ds that of the Al and A2 tank, and a chassis
and track portion which was also approximately 2/3ds the size of the Al and
A2 tanks. Additionally, source stated the B tank had a smaller and lighter
engine, and that its turret only had 14" of frontal steel whereas the Al and
A2 models' turrets were identical in frontal hardness; each having between
16"" to 17" of frontal armor.
d. (S/NOFORN) Source provided the following additional data:
(1) (S/NOFORN) Construction of the barrel/turret assembly is a mult-
iple step process of 20-21 days. The (main gun) tube is the fastest component
completed. Production is occasionally delayed to wait for turret completions,
which is more critical from a quality point. .

(2) .(S/NOFORN) Source stated the "building next door" (see Inclosure
1) has 8 separate production lines on which the chassis are assembled. The
other building has a production cycle of from 28 to 35 days. Two. of the pro-
duction lines.are dedicated to the refurbishing of new (Al and A2) model
tanks which have either manufacturing quality deficiencies or. have suffered
damage since their original assembly. In this area the old frames/chassis. are
torn down, sand blasted, and refitted with new component parts.
(3) (S/NOFORN) The remaining 6 assembly lines are dedicated to as-
sembly of "brand new" vehicles of the Al and A2 model types. Source stated
that during the initial part of the assembly of both models, they each appear
to have essentially similar frames/chassis. During the final 1/3d of the
assembly process, however, differences are introduced due to the two different
turrets and, possibly, different engines.
(4) (S/NOFORN) Source. estimated the main gun barrel differences.to be
slight but significant between the Al and A2 tanks. Source stated the A2 main
gun barrel appeared to be approximately 122mm, while the Al main gun barrel
appeared to be nearer 130mm.
(5) (S/NOFORN) Source described the frontal views of both the Al and
A211 chassis (Inclosure 5) as having a large, wide "straddling" type of stance with
a Vee" shape on the nose. The type B tank, however, had a narrower, lower
stance with a more rounded belly-pan and less' pronounced "Vee" shape.
_(6) (S/NOFORN) Source stated the Al and A2 turrets were asymmetrical,
both having their front hatch off-set on the front left side when viewed from
the forward (Inclosure 3).
2. (U) Comments:
a. (S/NOFORN) Initial estimate is that subject building may be that struc-
ture located immediately to the SE and across the street from the large multi-
SG1A storied structure located at within the confines of
subject installation,
b. (U) Request informal evaluation and comments be provided the originator
NLT 17 June 1980.
