DT-S CHARTER
(S/NF) OBJECTIVES: The primary objectives of DT-S are to conduct
the following activities in response to the FY 91 Congressional
direction:
a. Identify and obtain basic and applied external
research (near term).
b. Develop a long range comprehensive research plan.
c. Develop appropriate assessment/evaluation procedures
and project documentation.
3. (S/NF) In-house investigations:
a. Support research projects; pursue select potential
applications on a systematic bases.
b. Obtain appropriate support/equipment; develop
appropriate procedures/documentation.
(S/NF) PRIORITIES: In view of timing and other constraints, DT-S
should emphasize objectives No.. 1 and No. 2 above. Objective No.
3 should be pursued to the extent possible while maintaining a
systematic approach and from the point-of-view of contribution to
applied research understanding, but not to the detriment of
,fulfilling objectives No. 1 and No. 2. '

IMPACT STATEMENT
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) STAR GATE is a unique activity in the
Intelligence Community that examines parapsychological phenomena.
SG1B There are three main aspects to the STAR GATE project: (1
research via $2 million 2-year R/D funding that was allocated in
FY92; and (3) pursuit of in-house investigations in applying this
phenomena to high-interest intelligence collection and
operational problems. These three mission areas were part of the
FY91 and FY92 Congressional direction for DIA.
(S/NF) Loss of the 10 billets for this project would result in
cancellation of all three of these mission areas. Thus, the
Intelligence Community would not be able to monitor and assess
foreign activities in this field, nor would a capability exist
for applying a unique intelligence collection tool that has
potential in application areas where other collection techniques
have little or no effectiveness (e.g., hostage location). Loss of
these billets would mean abandonment of all basic and applied
research that is currently showing promise for phenomena
explanation and for improving application utility. In addition,
a talent pool established over the past several years would be
dispersed and lost for further development.
