Verbal Description of Project
The DBMS project is to provide the sponsor with a data base management
capability.
If possible the project
is
to use "off
the shelf" hardware
and software
items.
Various application programs can then be writen
to
address the specific project requirements.
The goal of these programs
is to provide the non-computer oriented person easy access to the growing
amount of project data.

Verbal Description of Project
Many costs on a large program with many tasks do not
fall into the
purview of any specific task.
These include general telecons

etc.
Therefore,
a separate task is
set
up for such expenses so that they can be accounted for separately.

OPERATIONAL REMOTE VIEWING
Throughout
the
year SRI was asked to contribute RV-derived data in
response to real operational requirements.
Those that were conducted
under the DIA program are summarized in Figure
2.
Complete documentation
(transcripts,
messages, evaluations)
can be obtained through SI/SAO
channels on
a need-to-know basis.
In addition,
we also computed the
cost
of each site investigated.

GRILL FLAME FINANCIAL STATUS
The budget
for
Grill Flame research is
shown in the
next two charts
(Figures
3 and
4).
The first one gives
an overall
look at what was
budgeted for FY'82 and the second shows what was
spent on each project.
It may be remembered that in May 1980,
it was stated that
continuing
to support psychoenergetics
in the manner
its history reveals,
is
not very
productive and neither DoD money nor
SRI personnel's
time
is
getting
maximum utilization.
The suggestion was
that enough time and money to
do
a thorough evaluation of
the
field's potential application to intelli-
gence problems should be provided.
This was
agreed to and
a
conceptual
three-year program developed.
Since then,
there have been major problems
in the amount and timing of funds
in both FY’81 and FY'82.
It would be
a major effort even to
list
the problems.
Many of
you are already familiar
with
the difficulties and
did indeed spend much time and effort
in solving
the problems.
This
is appreciated by both myself and the SRI personnel.
However,
I must report
that the perturbations
in funding have prevented our
attaining all our goals
in FY’81.
It
further appears
that
our FY
f 82 goals
may not
be realized until perhaps
mid FY'83.
The
final
goal
of thoroughly
evaluating the phenomena by end
of
year FY'83
is
still possible but requires
money,
time,
and no further turbulence during the remainder of FY’82 and
all
of FY'83.

VI
GRILL FLAME GOALS
The stated goal
of the Grill Flame Program is
to determine
if RV-
derived data
can be included
in the tools
of intelligence analysts.
If
it
is
a potential source of intelligence,
then we are also interested
in developing countermeasures.
In addition, work in the USSR and other
foreign countries
is and will remain of great
interest.
It should be emphasized,
however,
that
data derived through psychic
means
is
not intended to replace any existing intelligence collection
systems.
It will
be
no more than one more
tool an analyst uses
to develop
his estimates and reports.
The three-year effort suggested in May 1980 will expire
at
the end
of FY
T 83,
At
this point
the results
of
the program will
be reported to
the appropriate decision makers.
Their guidance will then determine
the
future activities
in psychoenergetics
by the DoD.
Therefore,
a number
of
questions
must
be answered,
certain problems
need to be solved and certain
issues resolved.
For instance,
can the reliability of remote viewing be
increased?
How should people
be selected and trained to produce data?
How
is
the data
to
be evaluated?
In addition,
numerous research and
development programs
are needed to both maintain and advance the state-of-
the-art
in remote viewing*
These are all needed,
just
to advance the
remote viewing program.
There are,
however, many more areas
in psycho-
energetics
that are of potential value
to the DoD.
This
could be an entire
study so
I will
not attempt
to pursue
it
here.
If anyone wants such
a study
it
can be produced.
The more important
issues
for remote viewing and their status
are
presented in Figure
5.
These
issues
are presented in an organizational
fashion in Figure
6,

VII
PROPOSED PROGRAM—FY
f 83
It
is
difficult to design a program for FY
f 83 when many of
the FY’82
tasks have
not
been completed.
This,
however,
must
be done now to allow
enough time
for the
contract
cycle to be completed.
The data presented
below is intended only as
a guide to the things
that
can be done in the
FY
f 83 program.
Additional factors,
like
funds
and goals
of
the sponsors
would need to be settled before the program becomes
final.
Training has
thus
far received adequate funding and has produced
excellent results.
Informal observation reveals
a substantial rise
in
the accuracy of
remote viewing data.
The program seems
to confirm that
individuals
can be selected and then trained to produce highly reliable
data.
Not
only are the reliability and accuracy increased,
the depth
of data
is
much improved.
In the
latter stages
of remote viewing the
viewer achieves much greater
contact with the remote site.
This area
then
must
be continued
if Army personnel are to obtain the best available
state-of-the-art training
.
SG1A
A second area that must
be pursued in FY
r 83
is
the intelligence effort.
This,
of
course,
is
important considering the DIA charter.
In the past
Also,
in the past
year
a number of operational
sites were examined
by SRI.
In the future,
it
is
likely that
the number of sites examined
will be even greater.
So,
this must also
be carried into FY'83.
It
is expected that operational and training
sites,
management
data,
intelligence data and project historical information will be stored in an
automated system that will permit manipulation and retrieval.
If more

DP96-00788r001 300300001 -5
work needs
to be done
it should be some part
of the program.
If the system
is operable,
funds will
be needed only for maintenance.
Among
the
new areas where work
is
needed,
search/tracking has
the
highest priority.
Much
of
the current
effort
has
been dependent
on using
coordinates.
That
is,
the viewer
is given
a
set
of geographic coordinates
and he
is asked to describe
the area*
The search
for people, aircraft or
naval
ships,
followed by a description of how to find
the objects has
not
been researched enough to have
a well defined methodology or procedure.
This area must
be included in the FY’83 program.
To complement
the
training program work must
begin in FY
r 83
to
provide
criteria
of general use
for selecting individuals
to receive RV
traini ng
,
Countermeasures
is
also
a very important,
large and complex area
that
has received but
little attention.
A major effort
must begin in FY
T 83
to detect
intrusion and to counter
it.
There are certainly many other aspects
of psychoenergetics
that
should be investigated.
The ones
discussed are merely
a sample.
It
should
not
be interpreted
as
the only things
SRI
is
capable
of
doing.
They are very capable of
carrying out many other tasks
in either appli-
cations
or basic research.
They simply await guidance and funds.
