1. (SINFISK) During the period of 16 May 1988 to 24 June 1988
inclusively, six operational sessions were conducted to determine
the intelligence significance of a target structure identified in
a copy of F- I(TAB A). Results of this effort

the objects (tanks/railroad car) previously perceived.
2. (SNFISK) Vie_H2S
=.P=1_8 perceived "Area A", one of two principal
areas comprising the target structure, as a passageway under
construction "with Junk and things lying around." For the most
part, "Area A" was practically empty. "Area B" appeared to be a
work area where the presence of huge objects conceptually
represented by a railroad car or tank, came under the scrutiny of
the people working there. When 018 viewed the target upon its
completion in future time, 018 perceived the interior of the
building as a spacious area that resembled a museum. Ongoing
activities appeared directly related to research and testing of
3. (SINFISK) Viewer 095 also accessed the target structure upon
completion in future ti 'me. Activities related to the target
structure at that time addressed such basic concepts as
regulation, information, plans, and the development of
prototypes. Spatial areas within the target building were
clearly delineated and allotted in accordance with assigned
functions. Ongoing research and development projects were
military-weapon related. The presence of a strong hierarchal
management system appeared to limit the scope and effectiveness
of the research program.

4. (SINFISK) Viewer 003 also accessed the target structure
upon completion in future time. The target site was located in a
somewhat isolated area. The target structure was viewed as being
comprised of both underground and aboveground sections. Ongoing
activity appeared related to the concepts of control,
verification, and adjustments through the use of sophisticated
computer equipment. The structure is currently operational even
though construction has not been completed. As portions of the
structure are completed, they are pressed into service.
5. (S/NF/SK) According to Viewer 079, the host country seemed
to consider the target structure as a concern of secondary
importance. An estimated work force of about sixty personnel
were employed at the target. The target structure was comprised
of two principal areas. Completion of construction work was C4.
projected for about Apr@11_1989; however, the projected date of
completion could well'&e d-er-ayed until October 1990. The
structure served as a "sort of industrial building and
warehouse" used for,the production and shipment of conventional
ammunition/weaponry to Soviet surrogates throughout the world.
The concept of a "plastic lamination" and refurbishment processes
appeared to be functionally related to the mission and goals of
the target structure. The product is crated in camouflaged
containers and sometim'es shipped via ocean-going vessels to Cuba
where the cargo is transferred and retransmitted to Central
American and Latin American locations/groups/ and to other
countries being supported by the Soviet Union. It is anticipated
that as many as nine hundred personnel will be employed at the
target facility by the time construction at this facility is
completed.
