NPIC Support in Bird Camera Program
A 25 March 1976 memorandum for the Director of Research and Development on NPIC support in the bird camera program. A Technical Collection Team had been formed to demonstrate the operational utility of an avian asset. A new bird camera had been designed that weighed less than the old one and used 16 mm film with motion compensation instead of 9 mm. Testing was to continue through June, when a final demonstration was scheduled.
