SUBJECT: Preliminary Proposal: "Non-Lethal Personnel Behavioral Control"

Four copies of a proposal, "Non-Lethal Personnel Behavioral Control, " dated 15 May 1970, are submitted for your consideration. We would like to emphasize that the exploratory nature of the work proposed makes it important that the task descriptions and manpower allocations outlined in our proposal be considered flexible within the framework of funding and manpower available. Some degree of flexibility is necessary to avoid wasting effort on techniques that prove to be impractical and to permit follow-through on promising approaches to non-lethal personnel behavioral control.

NON-LETHAL PERSONNEL BEHAVIORAL CONTROL

Tho propoans to provido medical and psycholegicai evaluation, advice and guidance to support development of behavioral ccntrol systems being fabricated and tested by other concerns and/or to recommend the development or abandonment of plans to undertake. research and development concerned with potential behavioral control systems. This service is to be rendered during the contract period of 1 July 1970 to 30 June 1971, subject to modification if the contract objectives would be better served by a change in the contract time period. A proposed budget for the contract is detailed in Table I of this proposal.

TASKS

The proposed tasks are described below. Contract work is to,be performed by the medical, para-medical and technical staffs of appropriate departments principally the Departments of Experimental Psychology and Physiology, Comparative Environmenta Biology and Biological Instrumentation. Existing. facilities will be used for classified storage and communications, as appropriate. Clinical consultations from appropriate ,speciali. will be obtained as indicated if clearances are granted or the subject material can be discussed at an unclassified level. Key personnel in

at the SECRET level or higher.

Informal and formal Progress Reports due: intermittently, whev requested or indicated.

I. Evaluation of the Scientific Literature in "Soft Impact" Projectiles Evaluation of the currently available literature and recent research efforts in order to determine the feasibility of developing a "soft impact' projectile as a part of a behavioral control system.

Progress Report due: 28 February 1971.

UI. Evaluation of Potential Behavioral Control Technigues

Evaluation of diverse approaches, such as electrical shock, infra-sound,
nets, as potential methods of tamp

Progress Report due: 30 June 1971.

IV. Supporting Laboratory Studies

Exploratory laboratory studies involving experimental animals will be conducted, as appropriate, in support of Tasks I- IV if data from such studies are necessary to supplement information from other sources in order to arrive at an evaluation of a potential behavior control system.

20% of research effort

Reports due: upon completion of studies.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

Briefings and support functions such as security, communications, personnel management, travel (especially in the early phases of operation)
