DDR to the DDCI (drafted byl
is presenting for JRC at today's SG meeting info on addtl flights
to cover Cuban electronic build-up. Understood that B-47 and F3D aircraft being
flown today.
These a/c will provide useful addtl coverage but it seems still further effort is
warranted. Two a/c available which could provide excellent coverage: Navy WV (Constel-
lation) and SAC U-2 with System IV. Both of these collection systems provide
automatic scanning of the radio frequency spectrum and on peripheral missions
could give high probability of intercept of SAM-related signals.
