MEMORANDUM 8 June 1970 TO: Dr. FR OM; SUBJECT: Preliminary Proposal: "Non- Lethal Personnel Behavioral Controlli Four copies of a pfoposal, "Non-Lethal Personnel Behavioral Control, 11 dated 15 May 1970, are submitted for you2r considera- tion. We would like to emphasize that the exploratory nature of the work proposed makes it important that the task descrip- tions and manpower allocations outlined in our proposal be considered flexible within the framework of funding and manpower available. Some degree of flexibility is necessary to avoid wasting effort on techniques that prov5e to be impractical and to ermit follow-through on prom'l@sing approaches to non-lethal p personnel behavioral control. k3 ,NON-L-ETHAL PERS NEL BEHAVIORAL CQNTROL 15 May 1970 REVI.EW DRA-FT REVIEW DRAFT NON- LE L THAL PERSONNE BEHAVIORAL CONTROL r lpropoaas to provide medical a'nd evaluation, advice and guidance to support'developmen.t of be2haviorzl ccntrol systems being fabricated and tested by other concerns and/cr to recon-xmend the development or abandonment of plans to undertake - research and development concerned with potential behavioral contyol systems. This service is to be rendered during the contract period of I July 1970 to 30 June 1971,2 subject to modification if the contract objectives would @e better served by a change in the contract time period. A proposed budget for the corltract is detailed in Table I of this proposal. TASKS The proposed tasks are described below. Contract work is to.be'per"- Li EU f2ormed by the medical, para-medical and technical staffs of approl>riat( depa'rtmenis principally the Departments of Experimental Psychology and Physiology, Comparative Environmentz Biology and Biolcigical Instrumentation. Existing. facilities will be used for classified storage and communications, as 2 appropriate. Clinical consultations fron-. appropriate speciali@ will be obtained as indicated if clearances are granted or the subject material can be discussed at an unclassified level. Key personnel i-n a ea lr dy hold clearances 2 he SECRET level or higher. at t I. Evaluation of Evaluation of status, progress and potential of on-going projects being RR.VIENV DRAFT t develcl.- conducted by other organizations. These projects are aimed a ing auch approaches as intense light and adhesive rnaterials as control systems. 30@'o of research e2ffort Informal and formal Progress Reports due: intermittently, whey-, requested or indicated. 11. Evaluation of the Scientific Literature in "Soft Irn]2act" Proiectile Evaluation of the currently available literature and recent research eff:)rts in order to det.ermine the feasibility of developing a "soft impac2t!' projectile as a part of a behavioral control system. ZO'7o of research effort Progress Report due: 28 February 1971. III. Evaluation of Potential Behavioral Control Techniques Evaluation of diverse approaches, such as electrical shock, infra-soudcf, 2 as potential methods of tarnfc@,@ nets, rary incapacitation. 307a of research effort Progress Report due: 30 June 1971. IV. q@ippor es Exploratory laboratory studies involving experimental animals will be conducted, as appro2priate, in support of Ta:sks I - IV if data from such studies are necessary to supplement information from other sources in order'to arrive at an evaluation of a potential behavior control system. 20'7o of research effort Reports due: upon completion of studies. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES Br9iefings and support functions such as security, communications, per- sonnel management, travel (est)ecially in the early phases of operation) REVIEW DRAFT and administrative activities wiU be necessary, Such activities are estimated to require about 20@o of availa@le professional manpower, The remaining 800/o of irofessional manpower will be apportioned to the four task,% as indicated above.
