PROJECT CENTER LANE - n N*RRATIVE EXPLANATION/JUSTIFICATION: 0 CRIPTION: (S/CL-3) Establish a new intelligence program utilizing psychoenergetics (parapsychology) to enha4e Misting ntelligence collection admihistrati\%-, and OPSEC programs, and an organizational infrastructure to manage ilaining and operational functions known as remle for the program. Through a thoroughly proven aspect of psychoenergetics vsbewing, the proposed program to time, tarj~t will collect and report information of intelligence value without regard 18cation, or any efforts to deny Plans are. the information to the collector, be:p;g with no known risk of detection. fRrmulated for intelligence exploitation inetics, rem(Re of other psychoenergetic technologies, such as psychok camunications, etc., as the state-of-the-art program will in each progresses sufficiently. ge Money budgeted for this Qied for the extensive training processing involved, required facilities, Rd and systems for obtaining, recording, dWsseminating valuable information Q obtained. 00 ksTIFICATION: (S/CL-3) INSCOM's an ad hoc bav$s efforts in the intelligence application of psychoenergetics have been on ance 1977. During that six year the feasibilgy period, CENTER LANE, and its predecessor program GRILL FLAME, established d soundness of psychoenergetics, primarily through the use of the remote viewing phenomenon as an intelligence to*- l om 1978 through 1983 intelligence collection projects using remote viewing completed for the U.S. Army and such agenctps DIA, JCS, CIA, NSA, FBI, and the Secret Service, produqed significant results. At least two intelligence commungy methodology 8 ewsn irsts" have resulted from project operations. During this same time, outside research has refined the : rther, promising greater accuracy and control than ever before. Administrative and personnel turmoil, spora&c ailability of resources, and lack of a formal TOE/TDA organization have all kept the project from realizing its t%e tential. Full utilization of by establish9g this unique and cost-effective collection capability can be made not only l is program officially, but expanding W its resources and organizational base. Q C) -A Q B9NEFITS: (S/CL-3) Intelligence of conventioRal application of psychoenergetic8, will not only facilitate cuing 13tell1gence systems, but will also allow penetration of otherwise. inaccessible targets to collect intelligence. --4e' gtential targets are: Q M Q Q Q Tactical and strategic, conventional Q and nuclear weapons systems Q within their secure locations. Q Technical developments concerning armor, anti-armor, and chemical and biological research within their secure locatio&p. __ PREPARED BY: OFFICE: PHONE: PREPARED: I DATE LTC BRIAN BUZBY, CH, SSPD IAGPA-F-SD (AV 923) e;77-7829 ;y 19 84 NFIP CPBS DESCRIPTION, DECISION PACKAGE, Project CENTER LANE (Cont.) Foreign SIGINT and HUMINT collection directed against U.S. targets. 0 0 Wht approved, this initiative will provide necessary personnel and organizational stability, ameliorating past problems og ma r fluctuations in resources and personnel availability which has thus far hindered full production of this type oFL inTlligence information. -n 0 SHOaTFALLS: (S/CL-3) Several problems will be encountered should this initiative not be approved. Primary in importanc wiM be an inability to meet all the needs of the various agencies the project currently supports. More requests foZF sui&ort are already received than can be addressed. Because of resource and personnel limitations, project managers mus I ex4cise extremely strict criteria in determining what taskings may be accepted. User agencies state that they have mano mor,,§ taskings they would like to address to CENTER LANE than can be supported by the current provisional structure. CENTE LAIg currently is alone at the forefront in the operational use of this technology, and in fact, INSCOM drives the U.S8 sta5e of the art. If proper resource allocation is not approved, this crucial momentum would be lost, and the nationa52 inl'elligence community would lose a valuable, unique, and cost-effective collection capability which now allows penetratio?o of~%argets inaccessible to any conventional system. The long training lead-time required to develop source personnel woulJB a14 00 m '~~ later resumption of a viable program extremely difficult and time consuming.
