Support the mission of the Dahlgren Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center by providing research, development, test and evaluation, and in-service engineering for mine warfare, special warfare, amphibious warfare, diving and other Naval missions that take place primarily in the Coastal Region. Execute other responsibilities as assigned by the Commander, Dahlgren Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center. This facility will be a multi-story structure with a structural steel and/or concrete frame, metal and/or built-up roofing and masonry/stucco exterior walls. The complex will have an automatic fire sprinkler system, laboratory space, intrusion detection system, and heating, ventilating and Form Submitted to Congress (Continued On DD 1391C) Page No. 133 Project will construct a new controlled access fence around portions of the Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville airfield. The new fence is to be equipped with card access-controlled sliding motorized gates and intrusion detection systems (IDS) with surveillance cameras and remote monitoring capability (IDS equipment to be funded with OPN funds). Fencing shall be high-security, 7 feet high, cyclone, and chain link fence with 1-1/2 foot outriggers mounting 3 barbed wire strands. Remotely monitored gates are hardened equal to or greater than the fencing. Project will also provide electrical power and communications for two existing observation towers used for airfield security monitoring and two existing observation towers (Black Point and south-end) on the St. Johns River for monitoring the Station's boundary with the river. Supporting facilities include utilities and communications to support the motorized gates and other security equipment. Project also provides for clearing of all existing vegetation (including wetland areas) between Runway 14-32 and the St. Form Submitted to Congress (Continued On DD 1391C) Page No. 127 Johns River to facilitate unobstructed viewing of the airfield area and perimeter. Sustainable principles will integrated into the design, development, and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13123 and other laws and Executive Orders. Project provides a new airfield flight line security system and waterfront perimeter observation system. (Current mission) REQUIREMENT: This project is urgently required to correct large-scale CURRENT SITUATION: Current AT/FP provisions at the NAS Jacksonville airfield and St. Johns River front are inadequate. The current flight line security fencing is comprised of a secondary, controlled access fence within the boundary of the base and a portion of the base perimeter fence. The single-layer chain link perimeter fence does not provide adequate protection for the airfield. None of the fencing is monitored. The four-mile waterfront perimeter of the installation (1.86 miles at the airfield boundary) has no access barriers or monitoring capability to protect waterfront and airfield facilities, aircraft, or personnel from waterside terrorist assaults. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: NAS Jacksonville will fail to meet current AT/FP requirements to protect operational assets. 12. Supplemental Data: A.
