Approved For Release 2000/08/09 “v resolution are dated March 20, 1992. The ten articles of the law are divid- ed into four sections entitled respectively "General Provisions"; "Organization, Plann- ing and Financing of Conversion of Defense Industry"; "Social Protection. Compensa- tions and Benefits for Converted Enterpris- es"; and "Foreign Economic Activities of Enterprises in Conditions of Conversion." An introductory paragraph states that the law defines tegal principles for the work of defense enterprises, organizations and associations and of organizations associat- ed with them in conditions of reduction or termination of defense orders and conver- sion of their industrial capacities, scien- tific-technical potential and labor re- sources in this connection. The law regu- lates mutual relations between state admin- istrative agencies and defense enterprises in the process of conversion and stipulates a procedure for resolving legal, economic and social questions which arise in the process of conversion, with the aim of uti- lizing production capacities, scientific- technical potential and labor resources of converted enterprises as effectively as possible for civilian purposes. Article 2 stipulates that production for military needs shall be reduced or ter- minated at defense enterprises in accor- dance with decisions of state governing bodies or actual reductions of expenditures for these purposes from the budget. The main operating principle of enterprises which are being converted shall be utiliza- tion of high technologies of the defense complex for production of output which is capable of competing on the foreign market. Production capacities, labor resources and scientific-technical potential which are freed in the process of conversion shall be enlisted in carrying out high-priority state targeted programs for the social and economic development of the Russian Federa- tion. Enterprises which are being con- verted shali be supplied on a contractual basis, using funds allocated for defense needs. Mobilization capacities shall be created, preserved and developed in accor- dance with assignments approved by the fed- eration's government. Article 10 provides for protection of the military-economic and scientific-tech- nical potential of the Russian Federation. Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00792R0006001 20002-7 2 In line with this article, converted enter- prises must be governed strictly by limita- tions which are set on the export, transfer or exchange of products and technologies that are intended for civilian purposes but can be used for development of weapons of mass destruction. These limitations shal] be set by the federation's Supreme Soviet and government. Converted enterprises are required to follow certain rules in their foreign economic activities. These rules call for strategic types of raw materials, other materials and equipment to be export- ed in accordance with licenses conforming to laws of the Russian Federation; and for technologies, licenses, know-how and scien- tific-technical information for organizing production of civilian products and/or uti- lizing them in trade and scientific-techni- cal relations with foreign firms to be transferred on the condition that the fed- eration's military-economic interests are protected. Weapons; military equipment; special systems, complexes, functional units and assemblies which are components of weapons and military technology; and processes for producing these items shal] be sold to other states in accordance with procedure established by the federation's government.

Title: METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION-GATHER- ING SYSTEM "“RUTA" FOR HIGH ELEVATIONS Primary Source: Pravda Vostoka, March 10, 1992, No. 49 (22769), p. 4, cols. 2-5 Extract: Testing of the new automated sys- tem for the collection and processing of hydrometeorological information “Ruta” has begun at the “Dukant" avalanche station of the Uzbek Hydrometeorology Service (Uzgi- dromet). Authors of the unique development are the Kiev Institute of Automation, the Central Asian Scientific Research Hydrome- teorology Institute and Uzgidromet special- ists. "'Ruta' is intended for telemetry of hydrometeorological parameters,” said one of its developers, V. A. Korobkov, chief engineer of "Dukant" and a laureate of the USSR State Prize. "Specifically, one can : CIA-RDP96-00792R0006001 20002-7

Special sensors are installed at hard- to-reach high-altitude locations. The in- formation gathered with them is transmitted automatically via radio communication chan- nels into the computer of the avalanche station. All measurements are made accord- ing to a special program, which is entered into a personal computer. The information is processed and transmitted by telephone to the Tashkent Hydrometeorology Center for subsequent analysis and compilation of weather forecasts. “Ruta" is a new generation of the "TM-910 Lavina" telemetry complex. The complex has proved itself well in the ava- lanche service, in collecting diverse hy- drological information and in the ejimina- tion of the consequences of the Chernoby] accident. The main advantage of "Ruta" is its versatility. The system makes it possible to conduct measurements without human par- ticipation in difficult conditions and to obtain information for 3,000 square kilome- ters.

"The human biofield is a combination of infrared, microwave and electrostatic fields," Dzhuna explained. "At a Moscow defense enterprise, a device which emits “specifically the field cter- istic for man was developed for the first time under my direction. Its radiating “surface was designed in the shape of a hand, Every radiator on it is connected to a computer, into which a specific program has been entered. What kind [of program]? Changes in the radiation parameters of the fields in my hand during the treatment of particular diseases have been measured, and this is what became the basis of the com- puter's 'mind.' Thus, when the necessary operating conditions have been specified, the robot extrasensory will in some cases be able to take my place." (A photograph of Dzhuna is given.)
