FY2010-2012Greater than $1M:Video Technologies Refreshment1. The purpose of this project is to install the hardware and software required for technology refreshment of video services to Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) customers. Thisapplication will allow for the following types of services: video teleconferencing (VTC), data collaboration, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), Visions (NAS Patuxent River’s dedicated training channel),networked distance learning, streaming audio and video broadcasts. Upgrading, modernizing and increasing the capacity of existing systems will facilitate the use of video technologies to conduct longdistancemeetings and training thereby reducing travel.2. NAWC continues to benefit from efficiencies realized by the centralization of video services. To ensure the delivery of reliable services, video hardware and software must be periodically refreshed.This refresh includes end user systems, conference bridges, and gateway servers. The goal is to sustain reliable services, maintain compatibility among systems, minimize hardware maintenance costs, andreduce the mean time between failures for all video system components.3. Economic analysis were developed and included with individual project submissions.4. Cost avoidance for the equipment in this capability will begin upon project completion.5. If investment is not made, NAWCAD would be limited in our ability to increase our capabilities in support of aircraft carriers, networks, sensors, weapons, platforms and have a significant negativeresult on the success, efficiency and war fighting effectiveness of the Navy.Exhibit Fund 9B Capital Investment Justification
