1995,
DIA is
in receipt of Congressional language
from both the SASC and the SAC.
- The SASC states that of the amounts to be authorized to be
appropriated for the DIA,
the Committee recommends that up to
$500,000 be made available for the purpose of supporting the STAR
GATE Program.
The Committee also recommend that
10 civilian
personnel billets be allocated to this program.
- The SAC language directs that DIA apply $500,000 to the
STAR GATE Program and that the current
10 billets remain assigned
to
it.

In response to
a January 1994 Congress ionally
Directed Action
(CDA)
,
Defense Authorization Classified Annex
Joint Explanatory Statement,
Enclosure
13,
the Defense
Intelligence Agency has prepared
a draft multi-year research and
peer review plan to focus on these issues.
In that regard,

objectives and make recommendations as to which objectives should
be pursued and the program scope required to achieve those
objectives.
If the Scientific Advisory Group determines
objectives in the plan are viable and executable,
the General
Defense Intelligence Program Manager will compete this initiative
with others for limited available resources remaining in the
program.

QUESTION #15 (b):
What are the performance criteria for STAR
GATE?
(S)
ANSWER:
The performance criteria used for Project STAR GATE
are governed by two recent Activity directives which focuses on
the personnel selection and training of newly assigned
operational personnel,
and on protocols for in-house proficiency
enhancements and operational projects.
Also,
an evaluation form
patterned after the one used by DoD HUMINT operatives
is
currently being utilized by Activity customers when providing
feedback to operational taskings.
The contractor,
at our
direction,
is developing a certification program for operational
personnel so that proficiencies can be both maintained and
furthered enhanced.
Program objectives
in the draft multi-year
research and peer review plan include research objectives to
further codify methods for selection and training operational
personnel;
target identification;
and refinement of protocols.

QUESTION #15 (c):
What examples of STAR GATE can be cited as
contributing to the intelligence functional areas of collection
and production during FY 1993?
(S)
ANSWER:
During FY93 Project STAR GATE contributed to the
intelligence functional areas of collection and production in the
following areas of collection and production by providing data to
Joint Task Force-4,
and to DIA's J2 and the National Military
Intelligence Production Center's analytical elements.
Areas
covered included the
location and description of ships for drug
interdiction purposes;!
|
In-house training proficiency
projects were also conducted to enhance operational capabilities.
For FY94 and in addition to the foregoing,
on-going joint
activities program have been established with JTF-4 and other DoD

STAR GATE
I
| reported on the
worjc done by tne contractor
in researcn wnicn provided data on
significant experimental results that could be considered of a
break-through nature.
Experiments were in the areas of entropy
which demonstrated aa significant degree of correlation between
anomalous cognition
(AC)
and dynamic changes
in a target's
entropy.
The value added
is that
it should provide an objective
method for assessing the AC skills of operational personnel.
In
the experiment on remote observation,
it was demonstrated that
changes
in the electrical properties of
a person's skin could be
effected according to the intent of the isolated operator.
The
value added is that anomalous mental phenomena
(AMP)
could be
used to remotely influence biological systems.
As
a result of
the experiment regarding alpha desynchronization
it may be
possible to train operational personnel in a manner similar to
biofeedback.
