New Air Force Office to Study j
Problems of Warfare Waged in Space
By ELTON C. FAY
WASHINGTON, WV-The Air
Force has created a special office
to look into the futuristic prob
lems, of warfare waged in the
empty regions of space.
It had in operation yesterday
the beginning of a small “Direc
torate of Astronautics,” with of
ficers drawn from the USAF’s
research and development pro
grams which do not relate to or
dinary aircraft operations and
missile programs.
The Air Force dictionary de
fines astronautics as “the art and
science of flying thru space, or
sending winged guided vehicles
or missiles thru space.”
The order setting up the new
directorate listed half a dozen
projects being transferred to that
office.
"Big Brother"
The list indicated the programs
to be transferred included proj
ects such as the proposed “Big
Brother,” satellite or space plat
form which would scan the earth
from an orbit high up, transmit
ting data on what was happening
around the world.
One project listed was the “bal
listic missile defense”—apparent
ly referring to the USAF’s anti
missile project called “Wizard.”
This is an attempt to devise a
system utilizing ultra-long-range
radar and ballistic missiles to in

tercept and destroy enemy inter
continental ballistic missiles. It is
similar to the “Zeus” project of
the Army.
The list also mentioned “addi
tional research satellites.”
"Boost-Glide Vehicles"
The Air Force so far has not
been actively engaged in the sat
ellite programs, now operated by
the Navy and Army. That sug
gested the Air Force was explor
ing the possibility of moving into
that field.
Cryptic references were made
to “'boost-glide vehicles” and
“special reconnaisance aircraft,”
suggesting that in some instances
the interest of the directorate also
would extend to operation in the
atmosphere.
