HISTORY - INSCOM INVOLVEMENT
ACSI TASK INSCOM...
FALL 1978... Determine of parapsych could be used to collect
intelligence.. ..specifically that area of parapsych known as
Remote viewing
Parapsychology is classified into 2 major areas:
1. Physical actions performed by mental power that cannot
be explained by known physical means (Psychokinesis -PK)
2. Forms of perceptions which cannot be explained through
known sensory means (ESP, Telepathy, Remote Viewing).
INSCOM APPROACH:
1. Could RV be taught: (SRI experience).
'Locate INSCOM people (characteristics)
Establish training method (never tried before)
(take 1-2 yrs)
2. Can it be applied as a collection method:
'Reasonable accuracy.
'Provide information that would be accepted by Intelligence
analysts.
3. Can it respond
`Responsive to collection requirements.
MILESTONES:
FALL 78 - FEB 79 : Locate People
FEB 79 - DEC 79 : Train (1st TNG: 28 Feb 79)
DEC 79 - SPRING/SUMMER 81: Operational
(460 sessions) (1st OPN'L: 4 SEP 79)
JAN 81 - ACSI turned control of project to INSCOM
1979 - 84 OPN'L
1980 - 384 OPN'L
1981 - 139 OPN'L QTR 1-3)

ROLES: DIA & INSCOM only participants in G.F.
DISTINCTION OF ROLES ...sometimes get blurred.
DIA - involved in
SG1A Determine vulnerabilities - countermeasures work primarily done by
contractors.
ARMY/INSCOM
*Collect Intelligence
Contracts for specific items to enable us to do a better job
o co ecting.
FY 81
TARGETING - What type TGTS have the highest probability of success.
How much known information should be cued to a viewer.
AUDIO ANALYSIS - Can accuracy of viewers statements be determined
from analysis f tapes of the session.
Collect using professional intelligence personnel.
FY 82 - Training course (basic training)
- Technology transfer
Not doing research on the phenomena

SUMMER 1981 - 1983
NEXT PHASE: INSTITUTIONALIZE THE PROGRAM
(ONGOING)
OBJECTIVES:
1. Establish an Organization (DET G)
Develop a method for recurring recruitment and training methods
Revalidate "Profile" of people who have been successful.
Have screening questionnaire given during visits to military schools
Evaluate results/interview
If reasonably available recruit else note for future contact
Formalize existing procedures
Revalidate security
2. Determine most "profitable" type targets.
SRI FY 81 contract (TGT Analysis)
Review our own past work
3. Determine how to get higher reliability
Test SRI new technique (training method)
Tailor individual training
Review each individual past performance & determine best TGTS
SRI FY 81 Contract (Audio analysis)
(Does individual have recurring pattern when most accurate)
Propose use of biomonitoring
Review other contractors

SUMMARY OF SRI RV ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUE
Training
The RV enhancement techniques may be summarized as follows:
- The codified multistage approach to data acquisition inherent
in the RV enhancement procedure appears.to "slow down" the
incoming data successfully, thereby providing-some safeguard
against the natural tendencies of the remote viewer to interpret
and analyze prematurely.
- The data being generated within the structure being investigated
appear to result in briefer transcripts with higher signal-to-noise
ratios compared to previous results. The gain appears to be both
in the quality of individual trials and in the reliability from
trial to trial.
- Knowledge of the hypothesized multistage process of site
acquisition appear to provide some predictive clue about the
quality of the RV product. The data that do not emerge more
or less in the staged order tend to have a higher percentage of overlay.
