(S/CL-1/NOFORN) To accomplish the proposed program, SRI will provide the facilities, materials, SRI staffing, and consultants to perform the tasking outlined in the INSCOM Statement of Work dated 22 July 1983. Details of the effort are specified in the following section. 1 SECRET Approved For Release 2004/04/02.;,C|AsRDP96-00788R0015001 10018-6

(U) GENERAL 1.1 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The objective of this effort is to investigate a particular aspect of psychoenergetic phenomena called Target Search, which is designed to determine the location of objects, individuals, and facilities, in a scale of room- to global-sized dimensions. 1.2  (U) MAJOR GOALS a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Phase I: Determine the efficiency or best method of using the "Discrete Search Technique," and apply that technique to problems relevant to intelligence-collection tasks. b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Phase II: Determine the efficiency or best method of using "Continuum Search (Dowsing) Techniques,'' and determine their applicability to intelligence-collection tasks. Ce (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Demonstrate the most efficient methods selected by applying them against targets chosen by CENTER LANE. This will include appropriate statistical analysis and a finalized target evaluation. d. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Provide a final overall evaluation of the above three areas with recommendations for training. 2. (U) SPECIFIC TASKS 2.1 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Research the literature and published documen- tation to determine the best methods for performing Discrete Search Techniques. 2.2 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Determine what an effective "zone" or "grid- squares"! area is in a Discrete Search Technique. 2.3 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Determine the optimized sizes of varying search areas. 2.4 ¢S/CL-3/NOFORN) Determine what statistical procedures are applicable for Discrete Search Techniques analysis. 2.5 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Under laboratory conditions, test the different statistical procedures by applying them against identical search tasks of interest to Project CENTER LANE. 2 SECRET Approved For Release 2004/04(027i:ClAdRDP96-98788R0015001 10018-6

(U) SECURITY (U) Military security requirements in the performance of this contract will be maintained in accordance with the "CENTER LANE SECURITY PROCEDURES GUIDE," dated 1 March 1983 (S/CL-1/NOFORN/ORCON). The highest classification involved in the performance of this contract is SECRET/CL-4/ NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION/ORIGINATOR CONTROLLED. 4. (U) DELIVERABLES (U0) SRI International will provide the following: 4.1 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) State-of-the-Art information on Search Target Techniques. 4.2 (S/CL+3/NOFORN) A progress report (2 copies)--a written evaluation of findings (within 10 days of completion) of Phase I, inves- tigation of the Discrete Search Techniques. 4.3 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A progress report (2 copies)--a written evaluation of findings (within 10 days of completion) of Phase II, investigation of the Continuum Search Techniques. 3 SECRET Approved For Release 2004/04/02; GIA-RDP96-00788R0015001 10018-6
