Projects within this category and these capabilities will assist NAWC in creating solutions to address deficiencies in capabilities and enhance the performance of mission efforts. MinorConstruction projects work to modify existing spaces, replace obsolete facilities, and contruct new facilities that allow for improved efficiencies and provide greater security and suitable space toresearch, develop, acquire, test and evaluate aircraft systems (often in a secure environment) for the War fighter. Projects will support various NAWC areas including test team facilities, control stationcenter, sonobuoy test site, annodize lab facility, ejection windblast facility, catapult windlab facility, mobile systems lab. Additional projects will construct the Rapid Prototyping Facility, theDetonation Sciences Spectroscopy Lab, a Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) paved tow path, a Weapons Survivability Lab test article assembly building, and a consolidated storage facility.2. The following Minor Construction projects exceed the current Military Construction threshold levels of $750K, using LRP authority.Project NameFY 2010 Hangar 101 Test Team Facility $2,000FY 2010 Webster Field UAS Control System Center $1,180FY 2010 Rapid Prototyping $1,800FY 2011 T&E Facility $2,000FY 2011 Test Article Assembly Bldg $2,000FY 2012 Consolidated Storage Facility $2,000FY 2012 Aviation Support $2,000FY 2012 Engineering Support $2,0003. If investment is not made, NAWC 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. This will also decrease innovative affordable technologies to the Fleet which support our nation's defense strategy and goalsand reduce overall Naval warfighting effectiveness.Exhibit Fund 9B Capital Investment Justification
