is restricted airspace in Maryland.
No encroachment. I don't know if you've
been to White Sands Missile Range, but it's out in
the desert. It's protected one side by the mountains
and Holloman Air Force Base on the other side. And
it is a huge, huge facility.
And there's no encroachment around that
facility; whereas, we understand in Maryland that
ultimately there could be some encroachment there.
We have a desert and mountainous terrain. But most
significantly we have the kind of space that we have
at White Sands Missile Range to do these things,
particularly the electronic kinds of analysis.
Dr. Jack Wade who is with me has worked
both at SLAD at White Sands Missile Range and at the
same time at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. And I want
him to comment in just a minute, but he has told me
you cannot do at Aberdeen Proving Grounds what is
done at White Sands Missile Range, at SLAD. And I'm
going to get him to comment.
So one could conclude I think, if you look
at military value, that, if you were to move this, we
would lose a definite amount of military value by
moving this facility to Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
