TL;DR: PreCam as discussed by the authors is a precursor observational campaign supporting the Dark Energy Survey (DES), which produces a photometric and astrometric catalog of nearly a hundred thousand standard stars within the DES footprint, while the PreCam instrument also serves as a prototype testbed for the DECam.

TL;DR: PreCam as mentioned in this paper is a precursor observational campaign supporting the Dark Energy Survey (DES), which is designed to produce a photometric and astrometric catalog of nearly a hundred thousand standard stars within the DES footprint, while the PreCam instrument also serves as a prototype testbed for the DES hardware and software.
