ddr&e to validate the program's research and development
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.

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;!

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.
