With
regard
to
target Search,
SRI
International
will provide
the appropriate
equipment,
facilities and personnel
to accomplish
the following
three-phase
target Search
Task
directed
at
determining
the
location
of objects,
individuals
and
facilities,
on
scales covering,
e „ g „
,
room— size
to global
dimensions:
Phase
(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.

p r o c edure
( e » g .

••
• c or r e c ting
coding,
sequent
:i. a I
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 -re liability
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
ea i ch
technique,
including
the
use
of real-time computer
and
programmable calculator
statistical
averaging
procedures,
will
be employed
to
determine
the efficacy
of
the discrete approach
applied
to problems
of interest
to the client.
Phase
(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 psychoenergetic
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
n uwbei
of
these approaches
will
be evaluated
under laboratory—
controlled
conditions
to determine their applicability
to client
needs.
Phase
(Test)
following
an
SRI
evaluation
of the various techniques that show
promise
in
Phases
and
2,
a subset
will
be chosen
for demonstration
of feasibility
to the client,
with
targets under control
of
the
client.
Appropriate statistical
analyses
will
be performed
to
finalize the overall
evaluation.

I he procedures developed

(Audio— linguistic
Correlations
Uith
RV Quality,
and
RV Evaluation),
will
be"
used
to determine
the degree
to which
audio correlations
with
RV responses exist within
the current training
environment.
The
data collected
from within
the current training program
from sponsor-supplied
personnel
will
be used
to search
for
audio correlations.
As
in
the previous audio program,
the
initial sessions will
be use
to formulate correlation
hypotheses
that
can
be tested
with
new
data
from within
training
program.
In
the
search
for correlations,

The audio responses will
be analyzed
similarly
to
the methods developed
in
the previous audio
task „
In
summary,
the
task
is
a follows:
Sponsor-supplied
personnel
will
provide
data within
the course
of the
standard

for
a search
for audio correlations
