(S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 reported substantially that the M SG1A "perform the -,'came general function (they originally accomp ished). They!don't do anything differently, just more efficiently." Intern.41 components have been upgraded. The concept of technical upgrade was associated with such perceptions as "armature, coupling, relays, click-on, (and) click-offs." SG1A SG1A SG1A 3. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 reported substantially that changes ,affecting the purpose and function of the~~ were "on paper only" (theoretical). The implementation of such changes involves a directional aspect characterized as "from vertical/directional to horizontal/oinni directional.1' V~ewer 011 reported the presence of "black box" associated with the SG1A "biack box" were "stra-ig-Ti-E- Concepts associated with the lir)e/line-of-sight,:beam-splitting, (and the percept of) prism. 4- (S NF/SK) Viewer 018 reported that the function of the SG1A N aDnreciablv since it was first are now being used by a 7-1=erebt, smaller group of users th- original (intended?) users.`," Related to this line of thought, are the concepts of "tactics, instructions and discovery."

(S/NF/SK) Viewer 099 reported substantially that the SG1A have been upgraded with new component parts which enhance the system's capabilities allowing it to sense/see farther and, with greater precision and accuracy. The presence of an "electronic box" allows for greater directionality, ie, "straight-line, beam, selection at a distance, bore-sight," all concepts associated with a now functional role. SG1A SG1j 8.
