application. Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) is a staged technique
which utilizes coordinates to facilitate acquisition of a remote
viewing target.
1.2 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Major goals are the determination if CRV
technology can be successfully transferred to INSCOM personnel with a
corresponding increase in the reliability of a remote viewer.
