(S/CL-2/NOFORN) Examine correlation between RV per- formance and ambient Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) fluctuations, and determine the possibility of RV jamming - $65K. This project replaces the previously approved audio analysis project. While audio analysis is an important area for study, preliminary infor- mation is sufficient to meet immediate needs and ELF study is of greater potential utility now. d. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Develop a "search for" technique (target upon a person or thing rather than on a geographical coordinate) - $175k. e. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Acquisition of biofeedback equipment for use in training and pilot testing during RV sessions - $26.5K (list of equipment is at. Enclosure 1). 3.
