              MEMORANDUM FOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
     RESEARCH
     SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - 8803 (U)
     1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 16 May 1988 to 24 June 1988
     inclusively, six operational sessions were conducted to determine
     the intelligence significance of a target structure identified in
     a copy of overhead imagery (TAB A). Results of this effort
     follow below.
     2. (SNF/SK) Viewer 018 perceived "Area A", one of two principal
     areas comprising the target structure, as a passageway under
     arolMM."
     construction "with junk and things lying
                                               the most
     part, "Area A" was practically empty. '~Alre,a-B" appeared to be a,
     wpr,k are# where the presence of huge objects conceptually
     represented by a railroad car or tank, came under the scrutiny of
     the people-working there. When 018 viewed the target upon its
     compl-6+-io-n in future time, 018 perceived the interior of the
     building as a spacious area that resembled a museuip. Ongoing
     activities appeared directly related to xx~~ and 'tes ing of
     the -obj~ecV (tanks/railroad car) previously perceived.
     3. (SINFISK) Viewer 095 also accessed the target structure upon
     completion in future time. Activities related to the target
     structure at that time addressed such basic concepts as
     regulation, informatiog, plans, and -the -cLave-lopment of
     prototypes. Spatial areas within the target building were
     clearly delineated and allotted in accordance with assigned
     functions. Ongoing research and development projects were
     ,mi.litary-weapon related. The presence of a strong hierarchal
     management system appeared to limit the scopekand effectiveness
     of the researchprogram.

         4. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 also accessed the target structure
         upon completion in future time. The target site was located in a
         somewhat isolated area. The target structure was viewed as being
         comprised of both underground and aboveground sections. Ongoing
         activity appeared related to the concepts of-g.ontr o
         verification, and-&djustments through the use of sophisticated
         computer equipment. The structure is currently 9perational even
         though construction has not been completed. As porCi-8-ns- of the
         structure are completed, they are pressed into service.
         5. (S/NF/SK) According to Viewer 079, the host country seemed
         to consider the target structure as a concern of secondary
         importance. An estimated work force of about sixty personnel
         were employed at the target. The target structure was comprised
         of two principal areas. Completion of _c_=_tt7r__u_ctJnn___work was
         projected for about April 1989; however, the projected date of
         completion could well be delayed until October 1990. The
         structure served as a "sort ofi,.!Pdwqtr.W building and
         ,on a-na~~shipment of conventional
         warehouse" used for theiproduct
         ammunition/weaponry to let surrogates throughout the world.
         The concept of a "plastic lamination" and xqfALr_bj_s11m-e'nt -processes
         appeared to be functionally related to the mission and goals of
         the target structure. Theproduct is crated~in camouflaged
         containers and sometimes I~Ijp~ed via ocean-g oing vessels to Cuba
         where the -t-rans-ferred a-nd 'retra"n'smitted to Central
             is
         American an~r'fAin A+merican locations/groups/ and to other
         countries being supported by the Soviet Union. It is anticipated
         that as many as nine hundred personnel will be employed~at the
         target facility by the time construction at this facility is
         completed.
