Who exploited or used imagery from the KH-7 surveillance and KH-9 mapping systems?
A NGA predecessor, the National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC) was a major organization for exploiting on and reporting results gleaned from KH-7 imagery. Other exploitation elements at the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Military Services, and Unified and Specified Commands also exploited imagery. Another NGA predecessor organization, the Defense Mapping Agency, as well as the Military Services and the United States Geological Survey, used the KH-9 mapping imagery to compile maps and charts.
