1. Reference your memorandum dated 12 December 1957, subject as above.
2. The proposal for a Moving Target Indicator by REG-372 is under
cation will be completed in time for submission to GMIC on 1 March 1958.
3, In reference to the possible intelligence significance of the
FAG 372 proposal the views of ACSI are as follows*.
a. It is well recognized that B-200 systems equipped with a
moving target indicator system would have a greatly improved low altitude
pability provided increased transmitter power requirements are met.
b. What is meant by the term "conventional countermeasures" is
not completely clear; however, an d system would be an adequate counter-
ECM device against chaff-dropping techniques.
c. It is unlikely that the Soviets would have incorporated an
MTI system into the B-200 without the knowledge of the Germans during the
time the PFr-908 sources were engaged in the project. This is because any
WI system is intimately associated with the transmitter system on which
the Gems, notably Grosse., worked. In this connection Grosse (BEG 373)
who worked on the B--2W transmitting system may be more knowledgeable
than any other source on whether the Soviets established a requirement
for an I stet
d. There is always the possibility that an ITI system was or
is being added as a modification to the B-200 system. Also, it was highly
probable that the MTI proposal of REG-372 was made available to Soviet
designers. If the Soviets decided that this M TI proposal had merit and

if they recognized the ability of such a system for eplonent in the
B-200 system then it could be expected that in early 1958 at the earliest
the B-200 system would have been aodified to include the MTI features.
The "tent to which the B-200 system would have to be modified to incor-
porate the MG-372 will be determined during the technical evaluation
of the G-372 proposal.
