The Center 5-Year Plan FY 72-76 will be prepared in three major sections, each with a separate due date; these are: a. R, D & E Program Submission externally contracted efforts, principally RF,D projects and R&D-related services. b. NPIC 5-Year Plan - comprises program narratives, fund and position requirements forms, and the ADP Annex. c. Data for the Consolidated Intelligence Resource Information System (CIRIS, formerly the Target Oriented Display.) Only the first two sections are of immediate interest; the CIRIS submission will be addressed early next calendar year. 2. To meet the DDI and O/PPB schedules, the following internal due dates must be met: a. R, D & E Program Submission - Due in. PPBS on 24 November. b. NPIC 5-Year Plan documentation, including program narratives, object class forms, and ADP Annex -.-. All materials due in PPBS on 8 December. If any submissions are completed prior to these dates, please forward them immediately to the Staff. 3. The PPB Staff will give you all the support it can during this exercise. To achieve this, PPB liaison officers have been assigned to components as shown below; they will work as closely with you as you desire arid. provide as much assistance as possible.

In addition to providing assistance in the preparation of your submissions, the PPB Staff will examine critically submissions from all aspects and play the "devil's advocate" until such time as we are mutually agreed that we have a well-defined, logically consistent, rational plan that we believe in ourselves, that can be presented convincingly to higher authority, and that will stand the test of close scrutiny by the DDI, the 0/PPB, and the BOB. 5. Because the program element breakdown imposed on the Center by O/PPB is not in every case consistent with, our organizational breakdown, separate submissions are required of certain components. 'lliese separate submissions include the narratives, object class and training forms, and ADP Annex, if applicable.

Separate sets of assumptions and instructions ill be furnished as soon as the information is available for each of these two changes in the operating environment. 1. NPIC will continue to be charged with the responsibility for analyzing multi-sensor imagery in support of the national intelligence effort within the parameters of the National Tasking Plan. 2,. The National Tasking Plan established the frame of reference for conducting imagery exploitation in response to national-level needs. This approved reference will remain essentially the same for the 1972-76 period with respect to the K11-4, 25X1 systems.(excluding NRT and SALT monitoring considerations). 3. NPIC will continue to be tasked to provide services of common concern to the national collection authorities and the various departmental imagery analysis organizations. 4. The organization of the Center will remain basically the same. 5. The NPIC Research, Development, and Engineering effort will continue, with emphasis being placed on the development of equipment and techniques oriented toward the imagery exploitation process as.. it is affected by all imagery collection systems (including NRT) for the benefit of the Center and the other imagery-exploitation organizations in the intelligence community. 6. Excluding NRT and SALT monitoring, the manpower and fund levels will remain about the same throughout the planning period.. In particular, the FY 73-76 budget for overtime, travel, transportation, miscellaneous rentals, external training, normal building maintenance, most maintenance contracts, cooperative training students,.grants, most supplies, and scientific and technical support will remain at the FY 72 levels, unless very exceptional circumstances are surfaced. 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/11/21: CIA-RDP78B05171A0005q 7, 1) Ur Approved For to Release 2005/11/2 IA RDP78B05171 A000500010003-1 Attachment C 8. The IIS will be fully operational as NPIC enters the planning period. 9. The mix of manned and drone aircraft systems exploitation may change with respect to collection vehicles and camera systems, areas/ countries of primary emphasis, and reporting procedures. however, the level-of-effort requested of NPICi.n this arena will not change significantly; any resources freed from this effort, particularly at NPIC initiative, will be profitably employed against satellite (and possibly other systems) exploitation, 10. The Plans and Programs Division, PPBS, with the appropriate Group assistance, will have developed and placed in operational status the following management tools: (1) a computerized cost analysis model of Center functions to aid in evaluating changes in requirements, the impact of new. systems, alternative ways of doing business, etc.; (2) an efficient, computerized management information system for planning and control purposes.which will provide up-to-date data on planned and available human, financial, and materiel resources and running analyses of resource expenditures, versus those available, against the appropriate work categories; and (3) a restructured, output-oriented, meaningful categorization of NPIC activities, products, and services. 25X1 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/11/21 : CIA-RDP78BO5171A000500p10003-1 SECRET Approved For 25X1 Attachment D Imagery Analysis NPIC OBJECTIVES BY PROGRAM ELEMENT FY 72-76 Analyze imagery efficiently to derive and communicate intelligence information in the required details, time frames, and formats in accordance with the responsibilities for exploitation assigned under the National Tasking Plan and as requested by higher authority. .

Separate program narratives are required from the following components: 0/Dir; PPBS; IEG; TSSG/APSD; PSG; TSSG/ESD; TSSG/Commo; TSSG/0/Ch, SCPS and SSD; and TSSG/RED, and PPS. These are mutually exclusive submissions; do not include this information and data in any other component or group narrative submission. All narratives are due in PPBS on 8 December 1969. 2. The following items will be required in each group/component submission. A. Accomplishments: (1) State significant developments, progress, and/or accomplishments by objective within program element, except for Management Support and R, D, and E Manage- ment Support unless some significant, new techniques or development occurred. Cost savings are to be included. (2) The program element objectives are given in Attachment D. If you wish to address other objectives you consider relevant, please state them and discuss,_ and if you have what might be termed sub-objectives or goals consistent with the program objectives which you would rather address directly, please list them under the program objective and discuss. B. Program Plans: (1) Objectives - Utilize the program element objectives (Attachment D) applicable to your component, adding to the objectives as you wish or going into greater and more specific detail by adding sub-objectives or goals pertinent to the program and your component in amplification of the program element objectives. Objectives should be as specific as possible and preferably quantified; you will note that quantifiable data is implicit in most of the program element objectives. The essential attribute of an objective is that one can at any subsequent time ascertain objective'y whether or not the objective has been attained aceor?dTirg to some identifiable - preferably measurable -- criteria or, if appropriate, what progress has been made Approved For Release 2005/11/21: CIA-RDP78B05171A000 31 25X1 25X1 SECRET Approved For Rele 25X1 Attachment E to toward the objective and, conversely, what remains to be done. (2) Ruirements and Authorities - Explain the purposes of and justi icat~on for t e-oF ectfve or intelligence require- ment. Sources and sponsors of valid requirements include national policy directives such as NSCID's, NSIAM's, NSAM's, PHID's, IPC Lists, USIB recommendations, and NTP tasks. If the requirement is internally generated, current gaps and deficiencies which led to the requirement should be discussed in detail. (3) Method of Ap rp oach - Describe the rationale behind your approac i -- of you plan to reach the objective cited. Identify, in relation to the objective, what is being done (flow resources are being used), what will be done, and how, it will be accomplished. Significant milestones should be identified. (4) Alternatives Considered - Alternatives or options may exist in, for example, di ferent courses of action, levels of effort, the time specified to accomplish an objective, or in the selection of means to be employed to reach an objective. Different methods of approach are almost certainly available to achieve an objective; they should be identified and the reasons given for rejecting them (i.e., higher costs; less effective, greater risk; etc.). Alternatives considered must be specifically identified, and the reasons given for selecting the favored alternative. (5) Coordination and Joint Planning - The DCI must be assurecFth.at `due (5nsa ration is given coordination and joint planning of new and on-going programs. For example new proposals which may require increased support from other DDI elements, other Directorates, or other Agencies. If applicable, proposals for new programs or changes to existing programs and activities should reflect the relation- ship of these plans to similar and related activities of others. (6) Resources Required - The requirement for funds and. nianpoaier~see Attachment A for manpower figures by program element) for selected programs and activities should be identified in detail, whether the program or activity is on-going, phasing out, or new.

New or anticipated developments, trends, activities, and changing workloads as they affect the objective and program should be discussed. It is suggested that fund requirements in many cases can most effectively be presented along general budget object class lines (no.personnel -- PPBS will attach dollar figures -- travel, supplies, equipment), and-the component should be prepared to review these in detail. If signifi- cant one-time, non-recurring costs are involved, such as equipment purchases, the costs should be specified. 25X1 25X1 -3- Approved For Release 2005/11/21 : CIA-RDP78BO5171A0005q Approved For ~elease 2005/11/2S1@78B05171A000500010003-1 Budget Form Instructions S-Year Plan FY 72-7-6~- 1.

SALT and NRT estimates are not to be included on these' forms. Other separate submissions, discussed Flow, are required from TSSG/RBD (R, 1), E E Program Submission) and PSG/AID and each component budgeting for ADP activities -- equipments, contracts, personnel (ADP Annex). The forms must be completed in full. detail and the appropriate years indicated for each object class'as explained below. Training, also explained below, will be handled as a separate activity and will not be incorporated in the object class submissions. All forms are clue in PPBS in 5 copies by 8 December 1969. 2. R,D & E Program Submission (R&D Projects) - This submission, due in PPBS on 24 November, is tini_ng coordinated separately with the appropriate `SSSG components. A copy of the Program Submission instruc- tions is attached for your information.

This full costing includes estimates of availability date, unit costs, number of items required by time, frame, maintenance costs, site preparation costs, supplies and materials costs,-and spare parts costs. The appropriate information on equipment development will be provided PPBS by the R~D people; the Staff will furnish this information to the appropriate components as soon as it is available 'so that it can be incorporated in the object class submissions. (For example, R&D could advise that the Automatic Stereo Scanner will be available for purchase in mid-FY 73; that site prepara- tions will mean building modifications X, Y, and Z; that estimated joint procurement costs are x dollars; that maintenance at such-and-such a level will be required yearly; that no supplies or materials will be needed; and that four spare parts at an estimated cost of y dollars each are required. The components concerned with T&E, maintenance, site, preparation, utilization of the equipment, etc. must then furnish cost estimates in their appropriate object class submissions to cover the acquisition and use of the equipment.) A group review of the R, 1) a B Program Submission will be conducted for purposes of evaluation and constructive col i-lent. This very important exercise will be scheduled during the week of 24-28 November.

Thus, objectives might be to provide fifty quick reaction feasibility studies of access audio systems, and to provide forty quick reaction assemblies of access systems, both to meet operational requests. in each year of the pl.aiming period, The general nature of the reediest would' an RD&E activity is largely responsive to continuing operational require - rnents, an objective might be to fulfill an expected number of such requests 25X1 Some RD&E objectives will be more difficult than others to state in terns of achieving a specific capability through an effort made over a specific period of time. Considerable imagination will be necessary in presenting certain objectives if they are to be useful. For example, when A statement of objectives for the project Non?,Access Audio ~ st:en,is might, hypothetically, be something like the fol.lowing: a. During the period FY 1969 FY 1972 work will continue to achieve a particular operational no3-I--access audio system with a specific range, capable of picking up normal conversation. b. During the period FY 1971 .-. FY 1974 work will. be undertaken to achieve a particular operational non- access audio system, with a specified longer range, which is hand portable.

Progress should include both actual results during this period and expected results of contracts already let. Examples of progress might include both completion of ?RD&E for a particular payload system and expected completion, under a contract already let, of research and testing of a. breadboard model of an ELINT 4. Prograln Plans This section should provide a' discussion of plans for achieving objectives during the period beginning with the second half of FY 10,170 .and extending through FY 1976. Insofar as sensible and practical, the following points should be dis-cussed: a. A.lter.natives Alternative approaches for achieving objectives should be presented.
