In 1966, in response to a requirement by the tactical reconnaissance forces for a mobile color facility to 
complement the existing deployable black and white facilities, two ES-75 mobile color systems were developed. 
Consisting of eight modular photo vans, the ES-75 is the first air-mobile facility designed and equipped for 
processing, duplicating, and interpreting aerial color photography. Designed to operate under environmental 
conditions ranging from extremely cold to extremely hot and dry climates, each shelter is a self-contained, 
waterproof, and light-tight unit which fulfills a unique function. Each lab can be transported in cargo aircraft, 
hauled by rail/ship, or towed over roads. 
The ES-75 as operated by the U.S. Air Force's Aerospace Cartographic and Geodetic Service, is a total system 
capable of processing, printing, and handling multispectral and false color infrared transparencies and 
negative color meterials under varying environmental conditions.

REMOTE SENSING 
WORKING GROUP REPORT 
This Final Report should merely describe the activities planned to be conducted by the Working Group, as per 
the previous programme submitted to the Delegates by the time the Group was proposed during the last 
Congress held in Lausanne in 1968. 
Such activities, to be performed by the Brazilian Institute of Space Research (ex-CNAE ), in close cooperation 
with NASA, would also include interchange of scientific data and information acquired with remote sensors 
in both countries. Some significant events, however, brought to the members the problem of condensing the 
volume of matter worthy of being reported. 
The first one was the execution of the RADAM PROJECT (Radar in Amazon), involving almost 4,000,000 
sq. km. of RADAR imaging as well as false-color infrared photographic coverage and multispectral 
photographic sampling. 
The second one was the International Panel Meeting on Remote Sensing held in Sao José dos Campos, Sao 
Paulo, Brazil, sponsored by the United Nations, in which almost 200 people were gathered for two weeks, sixty 
or more of them being representatives of foreign countries or International Organizations. 
The last, very unpleasant for the Brazilian economy, was the detection of rust disease in the Brazilian coffee 
Crops. 
In writing this Final Report, an attempt was made to briefly describe all the research activities conducted in 
various fields of remote sensors application, as well as to bring to this Congress as much information as could 
be obtained from participants of the mentioned panel, officially representing all countries in which Remote 
Sensing technique is being applied in a more or less extensive way and those which are intending to apply such 
instruments for their Natural Resources Inventory. Final conclusions and recommendations of said meeting 
will be also summarized in this General Report as well as the point of view of the Working Group as to the 
use of such a sophisticated surveying technique.
