CAPITAL INVESTMENT JUSTIFICATIONFISCAL YEAR (FY) 2012 BUDGET ESTIMATES($ in Thousands) FEBRUARY 2011Department of the Navy / Research and Development / Space andNaval Warfare Systems Centers#004 - Minor Construction SPAWAR Systems CentersMinor Construction: (Cont.)"Radio Frequency (RF) Communication Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) / SAP Lab" (FY12) Complex D is the main area for RF Communications engineering in SPAWARAtlantic supporting several cutomers including: Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I), PEO Space Systems, and OperationallyResponsvie Space Office (ORS). Due to the nature of the work for these customers, some of the tasking requires a Sensitive Compartment Information Facility (SCIF). However, Complex D does nothave a SCIF or SAP. Adding a SCIF and SAP building in Complex D provides an increased capability and improves work efficiency to support existing customers' tasks and emergent tasking incommunications and space systems. Tasking supported in the new SCIF/SAP lab building will include systems engineering, integration, test and evaluation.ENVIRONMENTALThe "Antenna Ground Plane Replacement" (FY10) will remove and dispose of the lead ground plane at the Model Range and replace it with a layer of conductive concrete. The Antenna PatternRange is used to measure the radiation patterns of antennas on scale models of Navy ships. Since 1982, there have been no refurbishments of the ground plane and the lead surface is deterioratingcausing contamination to the surrounding soil. Cost avoidance will occur of costs for Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) abatement for the lead contamination as well as costs to maintain the existingground plane. The new ground plane would require little or no maintenance. If the current lead ground plane is not replaced it will continue to erode and contaminate the surrounding landscapeand future clean-ups would be required at substantial costs.Exhibit Fund-9B Capital Investment JustificationMinor Construction
