               of frontal width of Ml tank; 43 delivered. Concept-to-fielding was accomplished
               in 90 days. CENTCOM responded so favorably to this product that they sent a

               Dover Air Force Base by C5. (LABCOM(BRDEC))
               Rapidly accelerated the development of the fusing and the software for the Patriot
               system to give Patriot PAC-2 capabilities (exploding warhead); also accelerated
               fielding of Patriot Operator Tactics @ainer Software. (LABCOM(HDL) / BUCOM)
               Technical Assessment for a host of subjects ranging from Lithium battery
               performance, to atmospheric effects on chemical hazards and smart munitions,
               to material wear and corrosion, to revised firing tables, to night vision devices, to
               secure communications, to electronic countermeasures, to include an artificial
               intelligence test bed for tactical imagery processing. The whole of the AMC tech
               base was made available and was used by ODS forces.
               Accelerated development and fielding of eleven (11) prototype Biological Agent
