PROJECT POORBOY

Abstract

Project Poorboy is directed toward low cost, interim and quick-fix solutions to operational and intelligence problems of limited war. Because of its emphasis, solutions are characterized by their deliberate naivete, simplicity and off-the-shelf nature. Subjects addressed include locating Viet Cong tunnels, perimeter security, communications security, minimum intensity field lights, lightweight camouflage netting, non-rotting sandbag material, an area denial method, infrasound as a weapon system, a scheme for electrifying concertina wire and a cut wire alarm.
