Background Paper for the Comptroller
SUBJECT :
SSCI Add-on for SUN STREAK (U)
1. (U)
PURPOSE: To provide the breakout of the additional funds
identified by the SSCI in support of SUN STREAK efforts.
2. (U)
POINTS OF MAJOR INTEREST:
a.
(S/NF) The SSCI has identified a potential add-on to the
FY91 budget of $8 million to support SUN STREAK efforts.
This
paper provides the breakout on how these funds will be used.
Note
that the program consists of two aspects: phenomenological research
and operational pursuits. The research aspect is accomplished by
DIA with the support of various research activities.
The opera-
tional aspect has been pursued via the DIA special access program
SUN STREAK, that is currently under U. S. Army operational control.
Future research should be kept separate from any SAP activity to
facilitiate open research and to involve other laboratories and
research centers.
b. (S/NF) The basic approach for this breakout is to denote
the majority of the funds (about two thirds) to intelligence
applications, with a smaller portion being used to continue
research activities. This allocation results in a balanced program
that further advances the effort toward the goal of operational
use, while assuring a sound basis for the concept and phenomenology
is developed. Particular emphasis will be given to investigating
conditions that enhance reliability and repeatability.
c. (S/NF) The specific breakdown of the effort is as follows:

3. (U) EXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS: Due to the nature of this program,
with heavy reliance on established laboratory and research facili-
ties, it is appropriate that these funds be managed by DIA to
assure proper technical oversight, continuity with previous
research activities, and exploitation of related foreign develop-
ments.
COORDINATION:
None.
