(S/NOFORN) GENERAL: This protocol contains the procedure for INSCOM sponsored Remote Map Sensing. Remote Map Sensing (RMS) is an intellectual r process by which a person perceives -the location of an object o)r person which is remote from that person. RMS does not involve any electronic sensing devices at,or focused at the target site, nor does it involve class- ical photo interpretation of imagery obtained from overhead, oblique or hand-held means. The individual performing RMS is provided with a unique to be, locole ' P-Von of ihm ,8, swka.5 a photo3raph or identifier of the object/person4 and a map which covers the suspected loca- tion. The task of the remote map sensor is to locate the target. No du"'r'gs, hypnosis, visual, auditory or olfactory stimuli~ liminal or subliminal, will be used in this RMS protocol. 2. (S/NOFORN) MILITARY OBJECTIVE: It is the objective of this protocol to standardize the process of RMS so that it may become an established task in the spectrum of intelligence and information gathering functions and for target acquisition applications. 3. (S/NOFORN) DEFINITIONS a. Remote Map Sensing (RMS):, a process by which a person is able to identify the location of an object/person which is remote to him by simul- taneously focusing his attention on the object/person and concentrating on a map. The remote sensor may employ the use of a pendulum as a focusing aid. b. Remote Sensor: the person who locates the object/person use(ing only Remote Map Sensing. c. Observer: the person who observes, takes notes, and interacts with the remote sensor before, during and after the RMS session.

Rremot Map Sensing Session: a single attempt by the remote sensor ate to identify the location of the object/person using only RMS. e. Pendulum: a hand held tool which can be used by the remote sensor. It responds by gyrating when the proper location has been found. 4. (S/NOFORN) Procedure. To provide a framework for standardizing the task of RMS, a series of RMS sessions will be conducted. The elements of an RMS session are (1) target selection; (2) remote sensor session preliminaries; (3) remote map sensing session; and (4) post-session analysis. The procedure will be described using a photograph of an object/person as the remote target identifier. (1) (S/NOFORN) Target Selection a target pool of 25-50 geographic locations will be selected by an indiv- idual other than the remote sensor or the observer. The individual who selects the target pool will not, at any time, discuss the contents of this target pool with the remote sensor or the observer. The 25-50 indivi- dual targets are sealed in envelopes, randomized, and stored in a secure container. These target envelopes will not have any identifiable markings on them. After the RMS sessions the target information will be placed into an unmarked envelope identical to those remaining in the target pool and randomly placed back into the target pool for use again. A target may be presented more than once to a remote sensor over a number of sessions. (2) (SAOFORN) Remote Map Sensing, Session Preliminaries The remote sensor will read the articles on dowsing, located in the "Grill Flame Open Source Files" and "The Study Guide for Use of the Pendulum as a Focusing Tool". The remote sensor will then complete the exercises listed in the study guide over a one week period of time.

A photograph of this object/person is sealed in an envelope, the contents of which are to remain unknown to the remote sensor and the observer until the agreed upon start time. Thiry minutes prior to the agreed-upon start time the observer is given the sealed envelope containing the photograph of the object/person to.be located. At this time,the remote sensor and the observer will enter an isolated room for a period of quiet and relaxation prior to the session start time. This envelope is not to be opened-until the agreed upon start time. Once the remote sensor and the observer have been isolated, the target site envelope will be randomly selected from the target pool by a person not in- wfboonaetr i.;J1 A'Aan beilyen volved in the RMS session.

At the agreed upon start timeg the observer will open the sealed envelope containing the photograph of the object/person acting as the beacon. He will hand the photograph to the remote sensor. The remote sensor will then use the photograph and the pendulum, as outlined in the study guide, to locate the remote object/person on a map of the geographic area in which the target site is located.

The observer provides encouragement and reinforcement with owrds of reassurance that the task is, in fact, possible. The observer will also take accurate notes concerning the remote sensor's feelings and impres- sions concerning the target site. The entire RMS session will be recorded, (4) Post session Analysis After the RMS session is over, the remote sensor and the observer obtain from the outbounder specific information about the target site location and compare their session results with these data. The remote sensor and the observer discuss the session results. The puspose of this post-session analysis is to provide the remote sensor with the satisfaction of knowing how well he or she did, i.e feedback.
