              optica        for co    ve lens were made for the Ballistic Laser Protective
              Spectacles. These were accelerated and fielded. (MRDC with Natick RDEC)

              Booldet: 'Sustaining Health & Performance in the Desert: A Pocket Guide to
              Environmental Medicine for Operations in Southwest Asia.' Booklet was created
              and fielded to be provided at the unit level to troops in the theater. @C)

              ArthropodRepellentTopical          DurationFor-mulation, a cosmetically
              acceptable insectlarthropod repellent, with an effectiveness of at least 12 hours
              against a wide range of biting insects and arthropods, that is designed for self-
              application to the skin. @C)

              Digital Topographic S     and        g, including
                    ERDAS (Earth Resources Data Analysis System); three ERDAS systems
              were acquired and rushed to CENTCOM topo units in SWA. ETL pe@. nnnel set
              up, ran and trained topo personnel for these systems giving the field tiae capability
              to generate photomaps of areas lacking such maps.(ETL)
                    TerraBase; ETL expedited the updating of the terrain analysis software,
              adding special t-lirnqtology of the Kuwait AOR enabling analysts to exploit
              LANDSAT and national imagery. (ETL)
                         P (Digital Topographic Support System - Prototype); three systems,
              computers, and plotters which give an enhanced capability to quickly compute,
              display, and plot topographic tactical decision aids such as key terrain, air
              avenues of approach, masked areas, line of sight, and vehicle mobility corridors
              in support of the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (I:PB) process. (ETL)
        FAISS (FORSCOM Automated Intelligence Support Systems); 10 units were
              prepared by ETL and shipped to every troop unit in SWA and were operator-
              trained by ETL.
                    Portable T              Systems; three (3) units were fielded to the lo ist
              Airborne Division directly from the ETL tech base. This fielding was a very
              successfw test of miniaturization (backpack portable). (ETL)

              Upgraded            Exploitation System: three units were fielded and
              upgraded with improved technology to meet the image intelligence needs. (ETL)
              -%nti Grid, patented by WES, was fielded and used for soil stabilization, rapid road
              construction, and field fortifications. (V*rES)

                    OrmatiOn Of Digital Topographic Data a=): The DTD was reformatted
              from the standard 9-track tape to two types of removable hard disks, five ldnds of
              tapes, two kinds of diskettes and CD-ROM (1 0 different media). Over 16,000
              specialized DTD transformations were performed for ODS. (ETL)
