I. (U) PROGRAM STATUS AND PROGRESS
1. (U) GENERAL:
(S/NF/LIMDIS) DIA has given high priority to
accomplishing the Congressionally directed tasks specified in the
FY 1991 conferees report for SUN STREAK. These tasks direct DIA
to implement an external basic and applied research effort and to
perform a variety of in-house activities in the SUN STREAK
phenomenological area. In-house activities include research
support, phenomenological investigations, and assessments of
foreign research. Status and progress of pragram activities are
summarized in this report. The agenda cites recent DIA
publications that contain details on the key activities required
for this effort. A comprehensive update to this report is
planned for June 1991; significant investigation results or
research. findings will be made available as they occur.
2. (U) MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE:
a. (S/NF) DIA, as executive agent, has implemented a
management structure that fosters a proactive, responsive, and
creative environment for this activity. Both external research
and in-house activities are centered in one unit (DT-S) under the
direct supervision of the Assistant Deputy Director for
Scientific and Technical Intelligence (DIA/DT). The DT-S unit
manager also receives technical and management guidance from
DIA'S Research and Technology Division (DT-5).
b. (S/NF) Project oversight is provided by a Project
Review Board (PRB) that is composed of five senior management
individLials selected from areas of DIA outside of DT. Additional
review/guidance is available from DIA's Executive Director and
from the Deputy Director. The General Defense Intelligence
Program (GDIP) Director also conducts project reviews and
provide~~ guidance. Links with the IC Staff have been established
to provide a broader management and program review base.
3. (U) PROGRAM PLAN:
a. (U) The first action completed at program initiation
was the development of a detailed action/milestone plan. This
plan identified necessary steps, individual responsibilities,
schedulE:s, and documentation requirements for all key near term
activit:es, both external and internal. it also paved the way
for developing far term actions. The near term actions covered
over fifteen specific topics as identified in Section I., of the
appendix; other program actions are also documented in project
memoranda.

b. (S/NF) One of the mayor initial actions was
completion of a basic and applied research plan for external
assistance. This document identified key research support needs
and addressed neurophysiological correlate measures, techniques
f`or personnel selection, application effectiveness evaluation and
a variety of other topics relevant to understanding and
cievelopirng this phenomenological area. This research plan led to
development of the external contract statement of work.
4. (U) PROGRAM STATUS:
a. (C) St~~affi~~n At receipt of the Congressional
direction, DIA augmented the existing SUN STREAK staff with two
.>enior professionals and one technical/administrative assistant.
There are currently 10 full-time personnel assigned to this
activity (7 civilian, 3 military). Some of the personnel
F>reviousl.y associated with this project will also be utilized on
a consultant, or as a reserve duty, basis.
k>. (S/NF) Facilities: A thorough review of the existing
~3UN STREAK facility was~ormed from a health/safety and a
i:unctional viewpoint. A variety of action items were identified
and appropriate funds were transferred to Ft. Meade where the
I)T-S unit; is located for accomplishing necessary renovations.
This work is now in the engineering design phase.
c. (S/NF) Securit The SUN STREAK program has been
transferred from Speci~cess Program (SAP) status to Limited
Dissemination (LIMDIS) status. All necessary security steps have
been identified and appropriate procedures have been recorded in
project documentation. Anew pro~eet codeword has been
:Ldentified and the new procedures are in the process of being
:implemented.
