CLASSIFICATION:UNCLASSIFIEDBUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION SHEET DATE Feb-05P-40APPROPRIATION/BUDGET ACTIVITYOther Procurement, Navy/BA-7P-1 NomenclatureBLI: 8108 X7YH Education Support Equipment (ESE)F. X-Ray Diffractometer ($451 thousand in FY 2004):This system is an automated, single-crystal diffractometer system suitable for analysis of the complete molecular structure of a compound. X-ray diffraction is the definitive method for the determination of molecular structure for both small and large molecules in support of theChemistry Department's instruction in protein crystallography and laboratory research. The instrument will replace an X-ray Diffractometerpurchased in FY90 that was rendered inoperable by Hurricane Isabel.G. 120' Tow Tank Wave Flume ($323 thousand in FY 2004):This Wave Generation System provides wavemaking capabilities simulating the sea environment in the 120 ft. tow tanks. The 120 ft. tanksystem provides for the testing of small scale models as a primary teaching tool for core engineering courses in the Naval Architecture andOcean Engineering curriculum. This system replaces an existing wave generation system that was heavily damaged as a result of HurricaneIsabel.H. 380' Tow Tank Wave Flume ($427 thousand in FY 2004):This Wave Generation System provides wavemaking capabilities simulating the sea environment in the 380 ft. tow tank. The 380 ft. tank isused for testing large ship models in support of advanced midshipmen projects and faculty research. Additionally, the 380 ft. tank system hasthe unique capability to conduct testing on submarine models. This system will replace an existing wave generation system that was heavilydamaged by Hurricane Isabel.I. Closed Circuit Wind Tunnel ($1,500 thousand in FY 2005):Ths wind tunnel replaces a closed circuit wind tunnel damaged as a result of hurricane Isabel flood waters. The closed-circuit will be a singlereturndesign with a test setion of a closed-jet type vented to atmospheric pressure which will provide increased capabilities. The revisedcurcuit design will provide air flow quality and speeds at current state of the art levels using elements of low speed wind tunnel design andrecent wind tunnel experience with both aeronautical and high performance automotive and race car designs.J. Coastal Lab Segmented Wavemaker ($426 thousand in FY 2006):Provides capability of multi-directional wave generation allowing Ocean Engineering and Oceanography students the opportunity to study, testand evaluate waves, structures and platforms under conditions closely simulating actual ocean environment. This system would have a 20-to-25 year life cycle based on a design currently used by the Army Corps of Engineers.K. Remote Key Access System ($392 thousand in FY 2007)Provides Key-Card Access, Monitoring, and Surveillance System to USNA buildings and grounds. System will be operated from a centrallymanaged security database which will limit entry to USNA buildings and grounds to those midshipmen, faculty and staff who are authorized.System will provide the capability of automatic remote shut-down of entry to vulnerable facilities such as the midshipmen dormitory and otheracademic and training facilities during increased threat conditions.Exhibit P-40, Budget Item JustificationP-1 Shopping List - Item No. 136Page 3 of 5
