A. ESTIMATED COST OF BACKLOG OF MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR (BMAR): 0 C. OUTSTANDING POLLUTION AND SAFETY (OSHA) PROJECTS: Quantity/Unit of N/A N/A N/A ($000) N/A ($000) ($000) Upgrade the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex (NCMC) electrical power systems to include upgrading the electrical distribution system, upgrading commercial power distribution, installing electromagnetic pulse (EMP) filters, installing an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS), replacing the supervisory control system, and converting the NCMC power plant to standby operation. 11. REQUIREMENT: As Required. PROJECT: Upgrade NCMC electrical power systems to insure highly reliable, high quality, continuous power to support the NORAD critical missions. REQUIREMENT: The primary mission of NORAD is to provide tactical warning and attack assessment to the National Command Authorities in the event of a missile attack of the United States or Canada. Within the framework of NORAD, the United States is also responsible for space defense operations and atmospheric defense. The NCMC is the focal point for receiving processing, and distributing warning and assessment information through complex and sensitive computer and communications-electronics systems. insure that these systems continuously function without interruption during peacetime and wartime, a highly reliable, high quality electrical power capability is necessary. The NCMC electrical power generation and distribution systems require alteration and modernization to meet mission requirements. CURRENT SITUATION: To The NCMC operates in three power modes: using three of six 1750KW diesel generators, using two generators in parallel with commercial power, or using commercial power as the prime source. Because an UPS is not installed, power interruptions, fluctuations or electrical transients from either the commercial or internal power source cause computer failures and/or loss or degradation of missile warning and attack assess ment capabilities. A new Commercial power is supplied by a single overhead feeder to a 4000KVA substation at the NCMC. The substation was constructed in 1961 as a temporary, expedient power source for the original construction of the complex and is sited in an area exposed to flooding. The overhead distribution system offers only a radial configuration. A second underground feeder from a separate power source will provide improved reliability to the NCMC as well as greater operating flexibility and redundancy. The existing magnetic switchgear is of 1960's technology, and is obsolete, slow, and underrated to the extent that it will not always provide proper fault current protection. The electric distribution includes a manually operated EMP disconnect switch to prevent EMP from entering the complex through the commercial feeder. The disconnect procedure is slow, cumbersome, and not responsive to the current threat. in-line EMP filter system will provide the full-time critical protection required. The present supervisory control system (Delta 2000) for the mechanical support equipment must be replaced to insure effective utility system management. The equipment was installed in 1973, and it is slow acting, does not have an alarm override, does not provide continuous monitoring, and requires manual sequencing of start-up and shut-down operations. It is expensive to maintain, frequently fails, and jeopardizes the capability to effectively manage and control the utility systems. Installation of the UPS and EMP filter, along with the new underground commercial feeder, will provide the necessary commercial power reliability, permitting the NCMC power plant to be placed in a ready-to-run standby mode. Modifications to the engine cooling water, lube oil and starting air systems are necessary to provide rapid, multi-engine start capability. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: If the improvements and upgrade are not accomplished, problems with the power supply and electrical distribution system will continue to impact the critical NORAD mission. Use of the pre sent electrical distribution system could result in a major fault in feeders or power centers that would cause a complete loss of mission for ar extended period of time. A major equipment malfunction in the power plant or engine support systems would require extensive use of commercial power. During the past year, various power outages have interrupted computer and communications-electronics operations, causing degradation of tactical warning and attack assessment capability. Power plant and support system maintenance requirements often require operation of the NCMC on commercial power. In this mode, the NCMC is vulnerable to the effects of commercial power transients or interruptions. Installation of an UPS will provide the required buffering and ride-through capability during these power variations. In the present configuration, adequate protection against EMP is not assured without significant warning time to allow the existing disconnect switch to be manually opened. The highly reliable and high quality power required to operate the equipment supporting the NORAD mission cannot be provided without the extensive upgrade of the electrical distribution power centers and feeders, installation of the EMP filters and UPS, and the replacement of the supervisory control system with stateof-the-art equipment.

PROJECT COST (S000) 6. CATEGORY CODE Extend fire detection system Install Halon extinguisher and connect with existing monitor panels. All electrical, struc PROJECT: Construct an addition to the existing NORAD Combat Operations Center (NCMC) fire protection system to support NORAD critical missions. REQUIREMENT: The NCMC fire detection and suppression systems require alteration and modernization to meet mission requirements. The NCMC is the focal point for receiving, processing, and distributing warning and assessment information through complex and sensitive computer and communications-electronics systems. To insure that these systems continuously function without interruption during peacetime and wartime, a highly reliable, high quality fire protection system is necessary. CURRENT SITUATION: The existing fire protection system is extremely limited. Smoke detectors are installed in the return air ducts of the airconditioning systems. One air-handling unit may serve three floors of a building. If smoke is detected within this system, it is impossible to pinpoint the location of the fire. Limited fire detection and suppression equipment is installed in the lower level of the NORAD Command Post, the central power plant, the Space Defense Computer system, and the NORAD Computer System. The majority of the NCMC, however, lacks proper fire protection equipment required by the National Fire Code. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Without this project, a fire could burn undetected and/or unsuppressed for a considerable amount of time before detection. Damage could cause a degradation or loss of this critical national defense mission. MAY |
