I'm afraid I must also agree with TID's #3 and some comments.25X1
I would refer to the minutes o the multi-sensor committee to th OFYi
It looks like we've got a good way to go 25X1
yet. Insofar as crisis management indicating is concerned MIDAS is the
only capability which will be used to give a tip off to the Dew Line --
otherwise SL radar and IR do not meet the requirements. (This based on
the Indication Task Force's deliberations). I cannot get any definitive
plans for future use except in tactical situations -- then it is only
piecemeal and to date we have been able to meet all the requirements levied
on us. Recommend the mensuration Task be dropped at this time until
there are more definitive parameters set and plans developed for employment
in strategic collection efforts. After the R&D is completed or further
down the pike we may be able to come to grips with this effort. I think
it is essential that we keep a, close watch on this! I hope this helps you.
