STATEMENT OF WORK: PSYCHOENERGETICS
(THREAT TO US AND POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS)
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 signifiance
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 repeatability of the phenomena.
2.0 Specific Tasks (FY 81)
2.1 Develop audio/semantic analysis techniques to separate correct
from incorrect data available from taped viewer descriptions of remote
viewing sites and to provide selective editing under operational conditions.
2.2 Determine what is required for target acquistion (names, maps,
coordinates, pictures, arbitrary labelings, simply the word "target".
etc.)
2.3 Evaluate threat potential of foreign remote viewing - type
investigations:
2.3.1 Simulate experimental results for which there is data to
assess validity of the foreign research.
2.3.2 Assess military applications potential of the foreign research
(or claims) particularly where a threat to US security is possible.
2.3.3 Assess feasibility of the most significant applications and
evaluate limitations.

2.4 The following task will be undertaken to explore the applications
potential of remote viewing. It will specifically undertake the task of
developing and evaluating a training program designed to increase the
reliability of remote viewing and seek to gain better data on operational
targets.
2.4.1 Evaluate the use of remote viewing to locate target objects or
people.
2.4.2 Evaluate the use of remote viewing for event detection and to
locate events.
2.4.3 Evaluate the use of remote viewing to detect the presence or
absence of targets.
2.4.4 Evaluate the potential of various camouflage, concealment and
deception as countermeasures to remote viewing.
2.4.5 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).
2.4.6 Determine potential of remote viewing to assess other types of
information, such as specific S&T data, or function/purpose of facilities or
activities.
2.5 It is anticipated that during the contract period there will be
quick reaction tasks approved by the Grill Flame committee, passed through
the COTR and levied on the contractor. These will be of high priority and
will require prompt attention.

contract will be made available by the contractor to the COTR
and no such material will be destroyed without written permission.
5. Delivery Schedule: The COTR will insure members of the
Grill Flame Committee receive copies of all deliverables.
5.1 Quarterly Reports: Five copies to the COTR. The first
report is due 100 days after the contract award date and will be

of completion of the contract. Comments will be returned to the
contractor within 45 days of receipt of the draft.
5.3 Final Report: Ten copies and a camera ready master to
the COTR within 45 days of receipt of the comments made an the Draft
Final Report.
5.4 Program Progress Briefings: Approximately 4 per year are
anticipated. Specific times and places will be established by the
COTR. Some briefings will occur in the Washington, DC area and may
involve more than one presentation by the contractors.
5.5 Quick Reaction Reports: Number of copies, place and time
of delivery to be determined by the COTR.
5.6 Supporting Materials: Provided to the COTR when requested
during the period of contract performance. All such material will

REPORTS
1 These reports will present a concise and factual discussion
of findings and accomplishments during the period and must include
appropriate references.
2 Each 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.
When 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.
2. General methodology (e.g., literature view, laboratory
experiment, survey, field study, etc.).
3. Results
4. Implications for further research (if any)
5. Special comments (if any).
