QUESTION 15: What is the funding and personnel profile for FY 1990-95
for the STAR GATE project? (S)
(a) Is this research and development project cost effective? (S)
(b) What are the performance criteria for STAR GATE? (S)
(c) What examples of STAR GATE can be cited as contributing to the
intelligence functional areas of collection and production during FY
1993? (S)
(d) Without fiscal constraints, would GDIP fund STAR GATE in FY 1995?
At what level? (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
ANSWER: Since FY 1980, DIA manpower devoted to STAR GATE has remained
constant. Manpower and dollars for the period FY 1990-95 are as follows:

(a) In response to a January 1994 Congressionally Directed
Action (CDA), Defense Authorization Classified Annex Joint Explanatory
Statement, Enclosure 13, the Defense Intelligence Agency has prepared a draft
multi-year research and peer review plan to focus on these issues. In that
regard, the Defense Intelligence Agency will convene a Scientific Advisory
Group consisting of chief scientists from the Services and from DDR&E to
validate the program's research and development objectives and make
recommendations as to which objectives should be pursued and the program scope
required to achieve those objectives. If the Scientific Advisory Group
determines objectives in the plan are viable and executable, the General
Defense Intelligence Program Manager will compete this initiative with others
for limited available resources remaining in the program. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)

(b) The performance criteria used for Project STAR GATE are
governed by two recent Activity directives that focus on the personnel
selection and training of newly assigned operational personnel, and on
protocols for in-house proficiency enhancements and operational projects.
Also, an evaluation form patterned after the one used by DoD HUMINT operatives
is currently being used by Activity customers to provide feedback to
operational taskings. (S/NF/WN/GS/LIMDIS)
(c) During FY 1993, Project STAR GATE contributed to the
intelligence functional areas of collection and production by providing data
to Joint Task Force-4 (JTF-4) and to DIA's J2 and the National Military
Intelligence Production Center's analytical elements. Areas covered 'ncluded
SG1A thp Inratinn and description of ships for drug interdiction purpose s
n- ouse training proficiency
projects ennance operational capa 1 ies a so were conducted.
(S/NF/WN/SG/LIMDIS)
For FY 1994 ongoing joint activities programs have been
established with JTF-4 and other DoD elements. Plans are underway to develop
SG1A workin relationships with other Agencies,
repo ed on
e research work one by the contractor. is report provided ata on
significant experimental results that could be considered breakthrough. These
experiments were in the areas of entropy and demonstrated a significant degree
of correlation between anomalous cognition (AC) and dynamic changes in a
target's entropy. The value added is that it should provide an objective
method for assessing the AC skills of operational personnel. In the
experiment on remote observation, it was demonstrated that changes in the
electrical properties of a person's skin could be effected according to the
intent of the isolated operator. The value added is that anomalous mental
phenomena (AMP) could be used to remotely influence biological systems. As a
S G1 B result of the experiment regarding alpha desynchronization, it may be possible
to train operational personnel in a manner similar to biofeedback.

(d) We have established a Scientific Advisory Board to
validate program objectives and to determine executability. (S)-
In the FY 1995 program, we have sustained the manpower
in STAR GATE. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
We will continue to evaluate and scope objectives in
light of existing resourcing. (S)
