The diversity of programs reflected the multi- discipline character of biological sciences as well as the "common use" application of the researth and development product. The follow- ing program briefs represent the major programs and achievements of the R&D effort during the 1963-1968 era. I. .ANIMAL STUDIES The state-of-the-art of remotely controlling animal behavior resided within the animal behavior Studies was funded by the, ��-�-�-�1 _ Division. The feasibility for remote guidance of 'animals in the free environment was demonstrated in 1965 using a as the subject and an tas the guidance cue. This achievement prompted a more intensive investigation of other animal species. In the period 1966 to 1968, 'guidance system was developed using \techniques. In late 1968, the Iprogram was advanced to the operational and engineering development phase. One of the more notable achievements of the animal studies was the demonstration in 1968 that the homing behavior of 'could be � controlled and maintained in an �4"- ' env4.ronment. Coupled to all animal guidance programs was the successful training of behavior necessary to emplace; deliver and/or retrieve as well as the development of the hardware and logistics susystems floc:es-sat-y to support the u Approved for Release: 2019/07/31 C00022049-
