INTRODUCTION
(U)
(S/CL-3/NOFORN)
In response
to correspondence from Army
INSCOM dated
July
1983,
and
to discussions with INSCOM personnel
on
7 and
September
1983,
SRI
International
submits
this
proposal
to
initiate activity concerning
Remote Viewing
(RV)
target search techniques.
( S /CL- 1 /NOFORN )
To accomplish
the proposed program,
SRI will provide
the facilities, materials,
SRI
staffing,
and consultants
to perform the
tasking outlined
in
the
INSCOM Statement
of Work dated
22 July
1983.
Details
of
the
effort
are
specified
in
the
following
section.

II STATEMENT OF WORK
(U)
1.
(U)
GENERAL
1.1
(S/CL- 3 /NOFORN)
The objective
of
this
effort
is
to investigate
a particular aspect
of psychoenergetic phenomena called
Target
Search,
which
is designed
to determine
the
location of objects,
individuals,
and
facilities,
in
a
scale
of room-
to global-sized dimensions.
1.2
(U)
MAJOR GOALS
a.
(S /CL- 3 /NOFORN)
Phase
I
:
Determine
the efficiency or best
method
of using
the
"Discrete
Search Technique,"
and
apply that technique
to problems relevant
to
intelligence-collection
tasks.
b.
(S/CL-3/ NOFORN)
Phase
II
:
Determine
the efficiency or best
method
of
using
"Continuum Search
(Dowsing) Techniques,"
and determine
their applicability
to
intelligence-collection tasks.
c.
(S/CL-3 /NOFORN)
Demonstrate
the most efficient methods
selected
by applying
them against
targets
chosen by CENTER LANE.
This
will
include appropriate
statistical
analysis
and
a finalized
target
evaluation
d.
( S/CL-3 /NOFORN )
Provide
a
final
overall
evaluation
of
the
above
three areas with recommendations
for
training.
2.
(U)
SPECIFIC TASKS
2.1
(S/CL-3 /NOFORN)
Research
the
literature and published documen-
tation
to determine
the best methods
for performing Discrete Search
Techniques
.
2.2
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
Determine what
an effective
"zone"
or
"grid-
squares" area
is
in
a Discrete
Search Technique.
2.3
(S/CL-3 /NOFORN)
Determine
the optimized
sizes
of varying search
areas
2.4
(S/CL-3 /NOFORN)
Determine what statistical procedures
are
applicable
for Discrete Search Techniques
analysis.
2.5
(S/CL-3 /NOFORN)
Under
laboratory conditions,
test
the different
statistical procedures by applying them against
identical
search tasks
of
interest
to Project CENTER LANE.

SECRET/ CENTER LANE-3 /NOFORN
2.6
( S / CL-3/N0F0RN )
Under
laboratory conditions,
test what are
found
to be
the most efficient and accurate statistical procedures by
applying them against varying
search tasks
of
interest
to Project CENTER
LANE.
2.7
(S /CL- 3 /NOFORN)
Research
the
literature
and published docu-
mentation
to determine
the best methods
for performing Continuum Search
(Dowsing)
Techniques.
2.8
(S /CL- 3 /NOFORN)
Under
laboratory conditions,
test the Continuum
Search
(Dowsing)
Techniques
against
tasks
of
interest
to Project CENTER
LANE
.
2.9
(S /CL- 3 /NOFORN)
Choose
a
subject,
then demonstrate
the
feasibility of each search technique developed against
tasks assigned by
and under
the control
of Project CENTER LANE.
2.10
( S/CL-3 /NOFORN )
Provide
an overall evaluation
of
the feasibil-
ity
targets
tasked during
the capability demonstration.
2.11
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
Provide
an overall
evaluation
of
the Target
Search Task,
and
propose
a training scenario
for personnel
selected
selected
by Project CENTER LANE.
