SUBJECT:
GRILL FLAME Activity
(U)
Reference:
USDRE Memo of
5 Mar 80 on
the
subject.
(S/NF)
The reference
limited OUSDRE sponsorship of GRILL FLAME research
activities,
but
Interposed no objection
to
low-level
support
to
intelligence-related efforts,
(S/NF)
Since 1980,
jointly sponsored research by DIA and Army
I NSCOM
has
shown GRILL FLAME
to have potential
for military applications.
In
the classified
annex
to the FY 1983 Authorization Conference Report,
however ,
the Intelligence Committee conferees agreed that
if research
were
to continue,
it
should be outside the National Foreign Intelligence
Program.
Although DIA should have sufficient funding
in FY 1983 to
complete
Its GRILL FLAME evaluation,
the conferees did not provide
resources for Army intelligence participation
in the project.
( S/NF )
A scientific review of GRILL FLAME evidence accumulated
in
the
course of a three -year National Foreign
Intelligence Program study
is to
be completed by early April
1983.
In the
interim. Program 6 resources
may be used to maintain the current Army INSCOM capability and
supplement
as necessary the FY 83 DIA evaluation effort.
I would
like to
be informed
in advance of the proposed Program 6 funding sources
identified to
si' port these
intelligence research activities.
Future
OUSDRE
sponsors!,
p of GRILL FLAME or related activities will depend
in
part on the results of the DIA evaluation
and any other such review as
I
deem appropriate.

2.
( S/CL-2 /M3F0RN/CL0SE HOLD)
USDRE
supports providing Army with approxi-
mately $600K
additional
funds for CENTER LANE
research.
o
Funds were
requested
by DIA
to
support
their
related
effort.
DIA
is under
same constraint
as Arty
regarding no
use
of
MFI?
funds
and
has
no
mechanism
to move USDRE funds
to contractor.
o
DAMI-ISH
suggestion
to OUSDRE
Nov 83 was
that USDRE
send
a
memorandum
to Army offering funds.
ISH will
structure
a proposal
satisfac-
tory
to USDRE,
DIA,
ASA
(RDA),
DCSRDA,
ACSI
and
INSCOM,
and
obtain legal
review.
Unofficial
agreement
has
already been obtained
from DIA,
ASA
(RDA)
and
INSCOM Project Manager.
o
Acceptance
of
these
funds will
essentially make Army Executive Agent
for CENTER
LANE
type
activity
for DoD
and
give Army greater voice
in
setting
project
priorities.
o
OUSDRE will
request
that DARP A make
the
funds
available,
then work
wit Vt DAM I - 1 SH
to write
the
U SDRE m cm o r and urn
to
A rmy offering
the
funds.
o
Army
(ISH)
role will
have
a yet
to
be determined
staffing
impact
on
