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
of
interest.
A statistical procedure
(e.g.,
error-
correcting coding,
sequential
sampling)
is
then used
to statistically average
a
series
of
"guesses"
to
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.
