a ee Approved For Release 2000/08/E&: Rik-Rpp96-00788R001800120001-0 Po - Attachment #1 = Verbal Description of Project A continuing requirement in operational RV is the determination of the location of tactical and strategic targets of interest whose positions —_ are not known a priori. Examples range from the Location of people or equipment in a building complex to the position of a facility or weapons delivery system in a strategic context. The search task is therefore <_ directed at determining the location of objects, individuals, systems and facilities on scales covering, e-g-., room-size to global dimensions. _ This task lends itself to two standard psychoenergetics approaches; they are: (1) Discrete Search Technique. In the Discrete Search = Technique, the target area of interest (e.g., room, globe) is divided up into a series of "zones! or "grid squares,'' one of which is assumed to contain the target wi of interest. A statistical procedure (e.g., error- correcting coding, sequential sampling) is then used to statistically average a series of "guesses" to wal determine in which of the "zones" or "grid squares" the target of interest is contained. It has been shown in previous work that such a procedure can in principle yield high-reliability results with operators of relatively modest expertise, and a pilot series of trials involving the location of an individual and the location of ammunition was successful. Several forms | of the Discrete Search Technique, including the use of real-time computer and programmable calculator statistical averaging procedures, are to be considered to determine the efficacy of the discrete approach applied to problems of interest to the client. (2) Continuum Search Technique. As in the Discrete Search Technique, a number of so-called "dowsing" approaches have been identified in the psychoenergetics literature as having some validity in determining the location of targets of interest. In the "dowsing" approach, the area of interest containing the target is "examined" by psycho- energetic means on a continuum basis to determine the location of the specific target. In the 'map-dowsing" -~ version of these approaches, direct access to the area of interest is not required, and therefore the approach lends itself to the types of applications of interest to the client. A number of these approaches are to be considered to determine their applicability to client needs. 26 - SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001800120001-0
