(a)
In response to
a January
1994 Congressionally Directed
Action
(CDA),
Defense Authorization Classified Annex Joint
Explanatory
Statement,
Enclosure
13,
the Defense
Intelligence Agency has prepared
a draft
multi-year research
and peer review plan
to
focus
on these
issues.
In that
regard,
the Defense
Intelligence Agency will
convene
a Scientific Advisory
Group consisting of chief scientists
from the Services
and from DDR&E to
validate the program’s research
and development objectives
and make
recommendations
as
to which objectives
should
be pursued
and the program scope
required
to achieve those objectives.
If the Scientific Advisory Group
determines objectives
in the plan
are viable
and executable,
the General
Defense
Intelligence Program Manager will
compete this
initiative with others
for limited available resources remaining
in
the program.

(b)
The performance criteria used
for Project STAR GATE
are
governed by two recent Activity directives that
focus
on
the personnel
selection
and training of newly assigned operational
personnel,
and on
protocols
for in-house proficiency enhancements
and operational
projects.
Also,
an evaluation form patterned
after the
one
used
by DoD HUMINT operatives
is currently being
used
by Activity customers
to provide feedback to
operational
taskings.
(S/NF/WN/GS/LIMDIS)
(c)
During
FY
1993,
Project
STAR GATE contributed
to the
intelligence functional
areas
of collection
and production
by providing data
to Joint Task Force-4
(JTF-4)
and to DIA’s J2
and the National
Military
Intelligence Production Center’s
analytical
elements.
Areas covered
included
SGI A
thp

and
rinscri nt.i on of ships
for drug
interdiction purposes /
\
j In-house training proficiency
projects
to ehhance operational
capaDi lines
also were conducted.

For
FY
1994 ongoing joint
activities programs
have been
established with JTF-4
and other DoD elements.
Plans
are underway to develop
working relationships with other Agencies.
STAR GATE/
I
\reported on
the research work done
by the contractor.
I his report provided data
on
significant experimental
results
that could
be considered breakthrough.
These
experiments were
in
the areas of entropy
and demonstrated
a significant degree
of correlation between anomalous cognition
(AC)
and dynamic changes
in
a
target’s
entropy.
The value added
is
that
it
should provide
an objective
method
for assessing
the AC
skills
of operational
personnel.
In the
experiment
on remote observation,
it was demonstrated that changes
in the
electrical
properties of
a person’s
skin could
be effected
according
to the
intent of the
isolated operator.
The value
added
is that anomalous mental
phenomena
(AMP)
could
be used
to remotely influence biological
systems.
As
a
result of the experiment regarding
alpha desynchronization,
it may
be possible
to train operational
personnel
in
a manner similar to biofeedback.
