FINAL TECHNICAL PROGRESS REPORT

1 February 1972- 30 April 1972

During the final quarter the last Systems-orienterl repcrt was prepared and submitted: as an Incapaeitating Agent 1 While is a relatively safe incapacitating agent, variations in individual susceptibility, possible delayed effectiveness due to breathholding and difficulty in rapid, surreptitious delivery -- especially in a large room that is not reasonably airtight -- limit its usefulness as an incapacitating agent.

Maior emphasis during this quarter-was also placed on providing, in a reacily available form, the maximu amount of practically useful information from previous reports. To this end, unclassified versions ofthe reports on electric shock and ron-penetrating impact were submitted: Incapacitation of Criminals by Non-Penetrating Ipact and Incapacitation o Criminals by Eiectric Current.

Of all the specific incapacitation systems examined, thedevice appears to be the most promising. Dr. cardiologist, Dr.

visited and submiried a special report on their device, with recommendations for animal studies which would help validate the physiological safety of this incapacitation technique.

The final activity undertaken under this project was a brief ad hoc rview of the Soviet techniquc known as Kirlian photograp.y.·Biclogical materials, when placed along with photographic film in a high-voitage radio equency fieid produce a picture which shows details of thc object not visizie unde- orcinary light. With the help of Jon the subject. a simple instrument was developed and satsisctory Kirlian-type photographs were obtained in both color and black-and-white.
