This Study would assist in FTD's evaluation: of relevent intelligence data, would help identify key development trends and technical parameters, and would help in assessing feasibility of particular advanced threat related applications. ‘ . . 3:0 (S) BACKGROUND: A continuing technical intelligence responsibility for FID is to ‘ provide intellicence consumers, and US R/D consumers, with the highest quality assessment of USSR capabilities in various threat areas, especially in advanced technologies that could eventually lead to future technologica} Surprise. These potential threats could be based on conventional techno- logy with unique applications, or on totally new or noval techniques that could be at the frontiers of technolcgical art-state. This study would fill a critical cap in the understanding and assessment of application | feasibility of a potential advanced thereat. This effort would directly Support FID's continuing evaluaticn for a new DIA threat study (Paraphysics R/D-Warsaw Pact), and would support certain advanced communication and advanced sensor assessments in general, ~ Ly Coto (S) ANALYTICAL APPROACH: (N 4.1 The contractor will develop theoretical models, perform appronriete technical analysis, and provide capability assessments based on appropriate iavestigaticn and experifental procedures. . (r\ 4.2 Contractor assessments will emphasize the particular advanced para-~ physics technology having military potential. The assessment will examine numerous ‘variables that have an influence on biases, reliability and accuracy, Basic investigations in this general topic will address advanced cormunica- tion potential, and advanced remote sensar potential. The contractcr shall develop an appropriate theoretical basis that provides insight on possible countermeasures. Theroctical investigations shall be directed toward resolu- tion of probable Parapnysics transmission modes. Investigations involving use of shiclded facilities should assist in evaluating electromagnetic aspects (e.g., in the ELF region). Other investigations based on holograchic riodels shall also be considered, oo SR Lab h GCL SMALL fajeek SU. 757-23 Lew at oo ‘ tae ae . ‘ : ‘ ‘ - * UN ot . a ad ‘ ; ‘ ' oo. a ce * re, “ ‘ tees senn fered yor biy Ci ire . : .e a o- PCRRT OHO at: ods “: F 7, f fren ncpdy Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001200110002-6 ay * RM BURT Lo A a ar meee he 4: age RE apRNTINpe meee ney ope

The contractor will alsc develop appropriate statistical methods for assessing deqree of success of such experimental investications. These methodologies would also be applicable to assessing similar investigations reported in the foreign literature. Y, 4.4 All significant details of contractor study scope, planning, proposed analyses technique, proposed evaluation pretocol and procedures, and personnel involved will be evaluated by FTD. Should any unforeseen deviation occur, FTD Will be notified immediately. Changes in work priority may be directed by FTD at any time during the contractual year should such action be considered necessary.
