Realistic Bomber Training Initiative
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of Survey
An environmental baseline survey (EBS) was conducted at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site
near Harrison, Arkansas, and three AN/MST-T1(V) Multiple Threat Emitter System (Mini-
MUTE) sites. The survey assessed environmental conditions present at the various sites for
consideration in future planning. The Everton Electronic Scoring Site contains a manned site
with personnel and the Mini-MUTE sites support unmanned electronic combat radar units.
These sites provide a simulated combat training environment for Air Force crews (USAF 1993b).
1.2 Scope of Survey
The environmental baseline survey involved a site visit and inspection of all properties and
facilities associated with the Everton Electronic Scoring Site operated by Lockheed Martin and
the United States Air Force (USAF). These site visits included the Everton Electronic Scoring
Site itself and three associated Mini-MUTE sites scattered throughout the surrounding area.
Interviews were conducted with base personnel and relevant documentation was examined.
