GOALS
To maintain a capability to deploy CIA (NRO)
operationally over denied territories a
quick-reaction manned reconnaissance
vehicle designed to give rapid access to
technical intelligence. It is presumed
that, as the defensive environment becomes
more threatening, countermeasure advances
will keep the vehicle relatively immune to
interdiction.

GOALS
To have a capability to employ,
on a limited basis, over undefended
denied areas a quick-reaction, manned
reconnaissance system designed to
provide broad area coverage for general
