This requires broadbased review of relevant worldwide literature (e.g., yoga practices, marital arts). o As part of this function, the energetics aspect will also be investigated and pilot studies initiated. The external contract will conduct appropriate exploratory research. 18 eo) COMMENTS In-house personnel will be provided various types of training/practice in order to maintain proficiency. Some project procedures have been published (beacon, special proficiency). Others will be developed and published on a frequent basis. Literature review initiated Mar 91. Anticipate compre- hensive review completed by Jan 92. This requires use of select consultants and/or location of appropriate personnel who have demonstrated abilities in this area. Special equipment may also be required. An extensive research and investigative protocol will be developed by mid 1992.

SYSTEMATIC PROJECTS, ctd. ° It is anticipated that special operational projects will arise ona quick reaction task (QRT) basis or via scheduled activity. These may not always be systematic in nature; however, results from these operational activities will greatly assist in this overall applications assessment effort. Summarize findings 19 COMMENTS These operational projects will have priority over the systematic review activities. They are anticipated to occur at frequent intervals beginning by mid-late July, 1991. QRT support had previously been provided for DESERT SHIELD/STORM activities. A detailed plan has already been developed for initiating these projects. This plan is documented in DT-S-1038-SL, Operational Activity and Near-Term Plans, 24 June 1991. A series of reports will be published for each application area reviewed. These reports will identify feasibility, limitations, conditions for use/success, and other issues relevant to operational pursuits.

DATA BASE REQUIREMENT: o Identify project data base needs o Provide for maintenance and training COMMENTS Basic project baseline documents have been con- pleted (Nov 90, Dec 90, Jan 91, Apr 91, Jun 91). Others will be prepared as needed for new research, proficiency, and operational projects or activity. Additional details are in items D and E of Appendix D. These include project oversight and review procedures. Basic requirements identified Dec 90 Final procurement expected by Sept 91. Four project personnel will complete detailed equipment training by Sep 91. Needs will be reviewed/ updated annually.

SIMULATION TARGETS: o Develop appropriate proficiency/skill maintenance methods. This includes development of a variety of homogeneous target pools along with automated methods of data recording and data base analysis. PROJECT OPERATIONAL TASKING: o Develop procedures for reviewing/accepting/ levying operational tasks or project personnel. DATA FUSION: o Develop methods for incorporating project operational data into intelligence assessment activity. Target pool development was initiated in Mar 91 and comprehensive material is now being assembled. Basic target pool approach was documented in Jun 91. Details to be completed by Dec 91. Basic approach published Jan 91. Update to specific aspects published Jun 91. Additional review/updates as needed. A preliminary approach will be identified by Jun 92 following consumer need and data base reviews. This is a difficult task. Some relevant work has been documented; however, a comprehensive utility analysis method, data fusion and data base procedure needs developing.
