(SNAP 920203) * * * * Author: Ivanyuk, I., Major, correspondent Title: EX-SERVICEMEN DEVELOP SPECIAL CON- STRUCTION MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY Primary Source: Krasnaya zvezda, January 11, 1992, No. 8-9 (20695-20696), p- 3, cols. 1-8 Abstract: The article reports on activi- ties of the Construction Research and De- sign Association (Proyektstroynauka) , which is utilizing experience with construction of military and space installations. "Pro- yektstroynauka" is characterized as a high- potential organization which is launching production on the basis of its own scien- tific developments. This’ association, which has an annual turnover of millions of rubles, takes in several joint-stock compa- nies and small enterprises. A conversation is recorded with Colo- nel of the Reserves Dmitriy Arkadyevich Frumin, a former military construction spe- cialist and now head of the “Proyektstroy- nauka“ association. Frumin and colonels of the reserves V. Kostin, A. Sytnik and N. Marichev are among a number of engineers who acquired unique experience in construc- tion of fortifications, missile silos and structures of space-launch complexes while serving in the armed forces, the author relates. For example, concrete capable of withstanding a direct hit by a missile with a nuclear warhead was developed, using high-quality cement and scarce superplasti- cizers. Frumin recalled that while carry- ing out a contract assignment at Kapustin Yar in 1962, he and his associates achieved waterproofness of concrete which was two to three times as high as usual. Experience of former military specialists reportedly has been utilized in building underground structures for civil defense and watertight structures for underground services, in particular. A new process which makes sealing of joints unnecessary, permanent forms which function simultaneously as fac- ing and wet sealing, concrete ten times as waterproof as conventional concrete, and | ’ tially of excitation, 3 other PE -OO79ZRAPPEORESON Hieherties have been developed in this connection. Frumin showed the author of the arti- cle slabs of siligran, a concrete which is not only comparatively inexpensive but said to be capable of withstanding stresses as great as those for which missile silos are designed. Siligran is considered a possi- ble safe substitute for asbestos cement whose use is forbidden in many countries. Other potentially profitable developments of “Proyektstroynauka" include unique pro- cesses for producing building materials, and equipment for these processes. The association reportedly has concluded 20 agreements for creation of joint enter- prises and facilities, including a Soviet- Bulgarian enterprise, for production of finished products.

REPORTS OF BIOQELECTRONIC-WEAPONS TESTING IN 1970s AND_ 1980s rimary Sources /rud, December 27, 1991, No. 298 (21522), p. 4, cols. 1-2 | Extract: Long ago, Gennadiy Petrovich W Shchelkunov, a specialist in the field of radioelectronics and an employee of the scientific production association “Istok," calculated and substantiated an effect of long-distance communication without the aid of equipment. This effect consists essen- in cerebral fluid, of acoustic vibrations which reach auditory nerves. These vibrations are excited by pulsed microwave radiation. Shchel kunov did not attempt to carry out his discovery in practice, but he considers it quite fea- sible from the technical standpoint. In a scrapbook which I leafed through, there was a short clipping which read: “I, Ivan Sergeyevich Kachalin, and (the name of another inventor followed) made a discov- ery, ‘A Method of Inducing Artificial Sleep at a Distance by Means of Radio Waves, ' in the Soviet Union\*’ General-Colonel of Avi- ation Vladimir Nikitovich Abramov rendered practical assistance in formalizing this discovery. Marshal of Aviation Yevgeniy Yakovlevich Savitskiy supervised this work," SV AP ZFER T2. oe Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000600450017-5
