FY2006/2007 OSD/OMB Budget EstimatesLine ItemP-1 Item NomenclatureEnvironmental Support Equipment 8126 Environmental Support EquipmentEnvironmental Support Equipment:H MASER SYSTEMHydrogen Masers are an integral part of the Master Clock system at the Naval Observatory. These clocks are very precise in the short term and are utilized inconjunction with cesium beam clocks to ensure accuracy of the Navy/DOD/National Master Clock System.MAJOR SHARED RESOURCE CENTER (MSRC) UPGRADEThis project is needed to upgrade and increase the storage capacity of the MSRC. This requirement is necessary to meet the immediate and long-term needs ofthe MSRC. The upgrade will provide the facility with increased performance, reliability, and data storage capacity. Additionally, the upgrade will meet theimmediate storage needs of the unclassified and classified systems currently supported at the facility.OIS ARCHITECTUREThe OIS Architecture provides the corporate IT infrastructure to support the collection, processing, storage, archival, and dissemination of oceanographic data,products, and other scientific information in support of Fleet METOC requirements such as safety of navigation and weapons systems performance. OPN fundsare budgeted over the FYDP to upgrade the end-to-end processing and production systems including the Satellite Processing System (SPS), to required levels ofperformance and establish an enterprise-wide systems level architecture for the Oceanographic Information System (OIS). The emergence of state-of-the-artoceanographic sensors, such as high-speed, high-resolution digital side scan sonar systems, are collecting data volumes far in excess of the current OIScapability to receive, process, store, and archive data. The integration of Through-the-Sensor (TTS) data into OIS production and the collection of remotelysensed data add to the complexity of the IT infrastructure required to support the NAVOCEANO mission. Funds are also budgeted to upgrade existing corporatestorage resources that support the NAVOCEANO Data Warehouse and expand the Storage Area Network to meet anticipated data storage requirements.Hardware will be procured to enable offsite backup of NAVOCEANO data holdings and implement processing capabilities to support Continuity of Operationsand protect NAVOCEANO’s critical infrastructure as mandated by the Defense Information Systems Agency and DOD. Hardware is also required in the outyearsto upgrade the network backbone from gigabit ethernet to 10 gigabit ethernet to meet anticipated user requirements in response to increased data rates from newoceanographic sensors and remote sensing sources and to facilitate mandated defense in depth protection of IT resources.Exhibit P-40, Budget Item JustificationP-1 Shopping List - Itme No. 141Page 3 of 10
