Disk memory for storage of program files and other working files requiring high-speed access i. Magnetic tape transport for data base storage 1-12. The supervisory team also supervises the maintenance of digital and hard copy reference materials. These materials are used either for direct support of the interpreters in the I-Shelter and/or IA-Shelter or for some phase of mission planning or reporting. The reference data base maintained in the A-Shelter and IA-Shelter is referred to as the Photo Interpreter’s Reference File (PIRF). The hard copy portion of the PIRF includes maps, charts, tactical target materials, II keys and guides, manuals, target dossiers, and reference photos. The A-Shelter and IA-Shelter have storage spaces designed for storage of these materials. The supervisor is also provided a light table for viewing reconnaissance film cluring planning and editing operations. Digitally stored reference materials include the multisource Intelligence File (MIF), Imagery Intelligence File (IIF), Tasking Directive File (TDR), Sensor Data File (SDF), and an Index to the Hard Copy (IHC) materials. The supervisor maintains the digital reference materials on magnetic tape and can send any of this data to the I-Shelter and/or IA-Shelter by transferring it directly to the I-Shelter and/or IA-Shelter disk memory. 1-13. Imagery Interpretation. The imagery interpretation function is performed within the I-Shelter or IA-Shelter by imagery interpretation personnel. The interpreters are trained in the skills of searching, identifying, analyzing, and reporting on targets of tactical significance recorded on reconnaissance imagery. 1-14. Imagery interpretation is performed as three tasks. Task 1 is preparation and research. This involves gathering all the proper reference materials to ensure fast and accurate processing of imagery when it arrives at the shelter. Task 2 is the actual search, evaluation, and analysis of the imagery utilizing the capabilities of the Photo Interpretation Console supported by the computer-controlled search and measurement programs within the automatic data processing equipment. Task 3 is the preparation and transmission of target reports utilizing the keyboard and indicator and standard report formats stored on the disk memory. Target reports are transmitted to the supervisor where they are reviewed and sent out by secure digital data link or transferred to hard copy. 1-15. Reference Materials Support. Reference materials are required by the supervisory team in the Auxiliary Shelter to facilitate mission planning, task allocation, and control. Reference materials are also used by the interpreters to aid in target recognition and analysis. Some reference data is stored digitally on magnetic tapes and on disk memory in the Auxiliary Shelter Some reference material is in hard copy form. The function of the reference material support personnel is to ensure that all materials pertinent to the mission are tip to date and immediately available to the supervisor or interpreters. Paragraph 1-1 describes some of the reference materials used in a typical Imagery Interpretation Segment. 1-16. Tactical Electronic Reconnaissance. The TEREC function is performed within a TEREC-configured A- or IA- Shelter by Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) interpretation personnel. The interpreters are trained in the skills of identifying, analyzing, and reporting on targets of tactical significance transmitted by TEREC-equipped aircraft. Change 1 1-8
