(S) (a) Is this research and development project cost effective? (S) (bo) What are the performance criteria for STAR GATE? (S) (c) What examples of STAR GATE can be cited as contributing to the intelligence functional areas of collection and production during FY 1993? (S) (ad) Without fiscal constraints, would GDIP fund STAR GATE in FY 1995? At what level? (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) ANSWER: Since FY 1980, DIA manpower devoted to STAR GATE has remained constant. Manpower and dollars for the period FY 1990-95 are as follows: FY YEAR Manpower Other O&M/R&D Remarks FY 1990 10 billets 0 FY 1991 " $2000K Congressional + up FY 1992 a $2000K " FY 1993 " 0 FY 1994 " 0 FY 1995 " $573 In response to a January 1994 Congressionally 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, the Defense Intelligence Agency will convene a Scientific Advisory Group consisting of chief scientists from the Services and from 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 Manage will compete this initiative with others for limited available resources remaining in the program.

SG1H SG1A Approved For Release 2004/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002600150008-0 SECRET o. * 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 further enhanced. Program objectives in the draft multi-year research and peer review plan include research objectives to further codify methods for selecting and training operational personnel; target identification; and refinement of protocols. During FY93 Project STAR GATE contributed to the intelligence functional areas of collection and production in the following areas: (S) ~- Operations. Providing data to Joint Task Force-4, and to DIA's J2 and the National Military Intelligence Center's analytical elements. Areas covered included the location and SG1 description of ships for drug interdiction purposes H tTn- ouse 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 elements. Plans are underway to develop working relationships with other Agencies. (S/NF/WN/SG/LIMDIS) -- Research and Development. SG1 A and reported on the work done by the contractor in research which provided data on significant experimental results that could be considered of a break-through nature. Experiments were in the areas of entropy which demonstrated a 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 REPRODUCTION REQUIRES APPROVAL OF ORIGINATOR OR HIGHER DOD AUTHORITY LIMITED DISTRIBUTION FURTHER DISSEMINATION ONLY AS DIRECTED BY DIA/PAG OR HIGHER DOD AUTHORITY SECRET Approved’ Pdr Reese sdoutoords FORESP od Gd7e8Rb65500150008-0

As a result of the experiment regarding alpha desynchronization, it may be possible to train operational personnel in a manner similar to biofeedback. (S/NF/WN/SG/LIMDIS) SG1B Without fiscal constraints, the Defense Intelligence Agency would fund Project STAR GATE in FY95. The project would be funded at $1.3 million per fiscal year, again without fiscal restraints.
