This history of SAFSP is dedicated to all those men and women who
fought the Cold War, in silence - from above. No organization is
better at gathering overhead intelligence than the U.S. National
Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Today's NRO grew out of 3
organizations: AF, CIA, and Navy. The AF office for satellite
reconnaissance was called the Secretary of Air Force's Office of
Special Projects [SAFSP]. This monograph describes the birth of Air
Force satellite reconnaissance. When SAFSP was created in response
to Presidential recognition of a national imperative, 4 tenets
captured the sense of urgency: direct access to national
leadership, covert management/operations, highest national
priority, and rapid procurement. In addition, 3 management
principles led to SAFSP's success over 30+ years of providing
reconnaissance intelligence: strong dedication to mission,
empowerment at all levels, and reporting by exception.
