The
branch chief

designee
will
handle
the selection

the target and the
management
of
the SPT series.
The first few projects
will
be pre-selected based
on
target diversity to facilitate
evaluation.
Later,
targets
in
this series
will
be selected
randomly.
Targets
for
SPT will
be drawn
from
a wide
variety
of
sources
as
well
as from previously developed
experimental
target
pools.
Consequent 1 y ,
targets could
be
anything.
They could
be complex
or
simple,
military/
y
technical
or

could have more than one main aspect
or
theme,

elements
or
relationships.
