PRQJECT REVIEW BOARD
SG1J
I. (U) PURPOSE:
(U) The purpose of this report is to document establishment
of the Project Review Board (PRB) and to identify its basic role.
II (U) DISCUSSION:
(S/NF) A Project Review Board (PRB) has been established in
DIA to review and evaluate the overall results and procedures
used by DT in developing and evaluating data obtained via the
DT-S methodology. The PRB members selected represent a diversity
of backgrounds, and were drawn from various DIA elements. They
are senior-level people who were judged to be open to new ideas
and who could be relied upon to function in an unbiased manner,
neither pro or can. PRB members are as follows:
SG1J
This board is chaired by Mr Berbrich, DIA/DT.
(U) The first PRB meetin was held on 3 January 1991, and
all members were present. (DT-S)
attended as observers and recorders.
(S/NF) At this first meeting, Mr Berbrich provided a
background briefing on this project that covered: (1) key
program historical events; (2) the recent operational test phase
and MIB review; (3) and recent Congressional interest and
resulting funds provided to DIA far pursuing this area. This was
essentially the same briefing that was provided to Congressional
committee members on $ ~ctaber and on 20 November 1990.
(S/NF) During this briefing, particular attention was given
to the recent Congressional action. It included an overview of
the external research objectives and the anticipated role of DT-S
in support of the basic and applied research activities. In
addition, Mr Berbrich provided considerable detail on DIA/DT's
plans and procedures for developing, evaluating and assessing any
data that might be generated by the DT-S unit. Figure 1 is a
flow diagram that illustrates this process. The PRB agreed that
this was a reasonable approach and that they were in support of
the various steps, including their own review role as shown.
(U) At the conclusion of the briefing, all members were
queried regarding their future involvement. All members agreed

to accept the PRB responsibility, none had any difficulties with
the subject area, and all seemed to be willing to perform their
PRB duties from a neutral perspective.
(U) the PRB agreed to meet about every 2 months. Records
will be kept of future meetings and entered into the DT-S project
files.
