  SG1J
          SG1J 1. (U) Request the procurement or the authorization of
  resources to procure a video record ing/playback system for the
  training and operational use of the Prototype Operational Group
  (POG) of DIA's SUN STREAK Project. Such a system would
  significantly promote accomplishment of the unit mission as
  follows:
  a. (S/WNINTEL) Because of the nature of the training and
  operational activities of this organization, access to actual
  sessions should b-e restricted to viewer and
  monitor/interviewer. Nevertheless, a need frequently exists
  for additional personnel, such as other student viewers or
  interviewers, supervisors, managers, or outside analysts to
  observe events within the session context. Attempts have been
  made to have personnel observe training and operational
  sessions, but results have been less than satisfactory. The
  presence of an extraneous person often adversely effects the
  concentration and performance of the viewer, as well as
  introduces an additional source of environmental overlay, which,
  may obscure the content of sought-for information. A
  closed-circuit video camera /monitor /recording system would
  allow real time observation and analysis of session-chamber
  events, which would be beneficial for outside analyst input and
  evaluation, managerial evaluation of training effectiveness,
  and observational training of student viewers and
  interviewers. The technique would also permit the viewer after
  the fact to observe his own correct and incorrect actions, and
  permit the interviewer to observe in better detail the viewer's
  responses, actions, and body movements. These details are not
  only important as signposts of viewer accuracy and proper
  mental process, but also relevant to the application of
  neuro-linguistics, an emerging human technology showing great
  potential for RV applications.

         b . (U) In operations, a system of this nature would provide a
    permanent re.cord of data obtained, permitting more in-depth and
    thorough analysis, and lessening the possibility that important
    information might inadvertently be lost or overlooked.
    2. (U) An analysis of our requirements identified three possible
    systems that ranged from a multi-camera, full video coverage of the
    entire room, to a minimally acceptable system that would permit
    coverage of either the viewer or interviewer. The latter system
    would consist of one remotely controllable camera, with two
    available fixed mounts--one behind the viewer, and one behind the
    interviewer, to allow the camera to be moved to cover either
    individual as particular training objectives require; one video
    recorder; and one black and white monitor with audio capability.
    3. (U) For present use, recommend that the system outlined in
    paragraph 2 be acquired for use by this organization, which will
    allow evaluation of concept for the smallest initial expenditure.
    4. (U) Provisional estimates from two firms in the Washington,
    D.C. area have been obtained for the recommended system.
    Approximate cost is $2,400.00. Specific data on equipment surveyed
    is on file at the SUN STREAK POG, Ft. Meade, MD.
