(a)
In response to
a January
1994 Congressional ly 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 Manager will
compete this
initiative with others
for limited
available resources remaining
in the program.

(b)
The performance criteria used
for Project STAR GATE
are
governed
by two recent Activity directives that
focus
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 used
by Activity customers
to provide feedback
to
operational
taskings.
(S/NF/WN/GS/LIMDIS)
(c)
During
FY
1993,
Project STAR GATE contributed
to the
intelligence functional
areas
of collection
and production
by providing data
to Joint Task Force-4
(JTF-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
/In-house training proficiency
projects
lb enhance operational
capabilities
also were conducted.
(S/NF/WN/SG/LIMDIS)
For
FY
1994 ongoing joint
activities programs
have been
established with JTF-4
and other DoD elements.
Plans
are underway to develop
working relationships with other Agencies.
STAR GATE/
I
[reported
on
the research work done
by tne contractor,
inis report provided data
on
significant experimental
results that could
be considered breakthrough.
These
experiments were
in
the
areas
of entropy
and 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
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.
