General The objective of this effort is to investigate in detail certain psychoenergetic phenomena that have potential military applications. Emphasis will be on evaluating application potential and limitations of such phenomena, and to provide such knowledge as gained under this contract to appropriate DoD agencies who will evaluate the significance of foreign work, particularly as it may pose a threat to the US. Major emphasis will be .on evaluating remote viewing phenomena and in particular, targeting aspects, via coordinate or other methods. Related to this are training methods, methods of enhancing | reliability and repeat- ability of the phenomena. 2.0 Specific Tasks (FY 81) 2.1 Train two selected Army personnel in the new six phase remote viewing technique and two monitors. speech 2.2 Determine if each. and auditory analysis techniques can be used to calibrate descriptions provided during operational remote viewing sessions. 2.3 Develop a training program on tracking techniques. 2.4 Initiate studies to determine if physiological monitoring cn be used to calibrate accuracy of descriptions provided during operational remote viewing sessions. what do you MEAN ?? 2.5 The following tasks will be performed to assist in evaluating foreign work: 2.5.1 Simulate and evaluate foreign remote viewing investigations. what evidence do we have 2.5.2 Describe the potential of RV to: assess secure facilities, serve as communication mechanism, explore resolution ability,fresolve alpha-numeric targets. 2.5.3 Explore resolution ability of RV for objects and symbols. 2.5.4 Determine if secured data can be accessed, determine the limitations of remote viewing, predict future events, locate objects, + describe the emotional/physical state of people.

SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001200020009-9 2.6 The following task will be undertaken to explore the applications potential of remote viewing: 2.6.1 Evaluate the use of remote viewing to locate target objects or people. 2.6.2 Evaluate the use of remote viewing for event detection and to locate events. 2.6.3 Evaluate the use of remote viewing for vectoring or tracking. 2.6.4 Evaluate the use of remote viewing to detect the presence or absence of targets. 2.6.5 Evaluate the potential of camouflage, concealment and deception as countermeasures to remote viewing. 2.6.6 Investigate the effects of the following variables on the remote viewing phenomena. (a) accuracy. (b) degree of resolution, (c) affect the sensory inputs (feel, smell, touch, etc.) 2.6.7 Other areas relating directly to the application of the phenomena to operational targets would include (a) methods of enhancements,-' (b) targeting aspects (coordinates, other abstracts, places names, etc.) , (c) potential data errors, (d) training and selection of sensors. 2.7 Determine remote viewer capability to do the following: SECURITY Risk P 2.8 It is anticipated that during all three fiscal years there will be quick reaction tasks levied on the contractor. These will generally be of high priority and from high levels and therefore, should receive prompt attention. 3.0 Specific Tasks (FY 82) 3.1 The impact of the most critical variables affecting remote viewing will be further investigated. 2 SECRET SG1A Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001200020009-9

SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001200020009-9 3.2 Remote viewing will be applied to operational targets and the results evaluated in regard to accuracy, timeliness, types of target and size of target. 3.3 Work on contermeasures will be continued and the detection of remote viewers at the target will be attempted. 3.4 Apply knowledge gained in FY 81, relative to detection of nuclear material and events, to real operational targets. Additional specific tasks for FY 82 will be issued in the last quarter of FY 81 and will be based largely on results of work done in FY 81. 4.0 Specific task (FY 83) Additional Specific task for FY 83 will be issued in the last quarter of FY 82 and be largely determined by the results of work in FY 81 and 82. 4.1 Many of the factors that enhance or inhibit various psychoenergetic phenomena will have been explored during the first and second year concerning applying the phenomena to operational = intelligence targets. During the fiscal year the emphasis will be on incorporating and integrating the phenomena into the intelligence process. 4.2 Selection and training criteria for remote viewers will be fully developed. 4.3 Interpretation of data derived from the remote viewing by intelligence analysts. 4.4 Ways to integrate remote viewing data into the intelligence cycle will be developed. 4.5 Ways and means of incorporating remote viewing phenomena into military operations will be investigated. 5. Specific Requirements 5.1 Approximately thirty-three (33) percent of the overall effort should be directed to satisfying tasks on analytical techniques and training subjects. 5.2 Approximately thirty-three (33) percent of the overall effort should be directed to satisfying tasks on evaluation of foreign work and specific intelligence assessments.

The report should be of technical publication quality, including appropriate subject matter reference. 2. Each Technical Report will include a report summary. This summary, prominently identified, should normally not exceed a few pages. The purpose of the projects must be specified, together with a description of important equipment purchased or developed, if any, and the conclusions reached by the contractor. The most important single feature of this summary is that it must be meaningful to readers who are not specialists in the subject matter of the contract. The requirement for careful preparation cannot be overemphasized as this summary will often provide the basis for decision on the continuity of the project. The contractor must recognize that his achievements are quite often surveyed by Department of Defense staff who function at a level that precludes a thorough review of detailed reports. Where appropriate, references should be made to more detailed sections of the report in order to guide those who may be prepared to spend the additional time required to develop a more complete and professional understanding of the accomplishments. The report summary should include the following information for each major portion of the work: 1. Technical problem. 2. General methodology (e.g., literature review, laboratory experiment, survey, field study, etc.). 3. Technical results. 4. Implications for further research (if any) . 5.
