equipment for Fleet use. Station also supports tactical support squadrons and the Navy Test Pilot School. Supports the Naval Air Systems Command Headquarters and supports elements of the Naval Research Laboratory; Flight Support Detachment Air Test and Evaluation Squadron VX-1; Navy Test Pilot School; Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (alert site). This project will construct a multi-story masonry and steel building off of Shaw Road that will provide high bay engine maintenance space, engineering office areas, and laboratory space for the Joint Strike Fighter Flight Test Program. This project will provide electrical system upgrades in the hangar bay of Hangar 2133 that will support the new JSF Form DD 1 Dec 76 1391 Submitted to Congress (Continued On DD 1391C) Page No. 213 (...continued) aircraft. 303 2. Date 2/3/03 7. Project Number 129 One Hangar 2133 will also be upgraded to adequately meet JSF program requirements, including 270-volt DC power units to support JSF aircraft and aircraft weapon systems, and re-configuration and new finishes of engineering spaces to support the JSF flight test program engineers. Two permanent flight test facilities will be constructed. facility will support the aircraft flight test and evaluation engineering workspaces between Hangars 115 and 2133. The second facility will be an addition to Hangar 2133 and will provide secured data laboratories and engineering data analysis workstations. The project includes electrical and mechanical utilities, paving and site improvements, and technical operating manuals. Buildings 191, 227, 1391, 1486, 1668, 1913, 1914, and 1918 will be demolished. Anti-terrorism/force protection measures will be provided. Built-in equipment includes a 5-ton overhead crane, elevators, and 270V DC power systems. Sustainable principles will be included into the design, development, and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13123 and other laws and executive orders. This project constructs a multi-story aircraft systems development and demonstration test facility and two flight test support facilities. (New mission) REQUIREMENT: Adequate aircraft and aircraft weapon systems test facilities are required at Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) /Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River to successfully complete the Systems Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase of the JSF Program on time and within budget. The JSF Program is an Office of the Secretary of Defense Acquisition Category I Program. The initial JSF SDD phase Integrated Flight Test aircraft team will arrive at NAWCAD/NAS Patuxent River in April 2005. Completion of this MILCON by April 2005 is essential to support prerequisite, long-lead outfitting projects and complete operational tests such as phone, Local Area Networks and Wide Area Networks, and physical security systems, for both contractor and government. This project will support flight test activity for the JSF SDD Program and follow on tests and evaluations. This project will support the Fleet with improved flight test facilities for JSF tactical aircraft. The JSF is the next generation fighter jet that will be produced in three different variants (Navy, Marine and Air Force variants). In order to support the testing of this Form DD 1 Dec 76 1391C Submitted to Congress Page No. 214 scope and complexity, testing will be conducted at both the Air Force Flight Test Center (Edwards AFB), California and NAWCAD at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. The proposed location of this project capitalizes on the diverse and unique Research, Development, Test and Evaluation capabilities, resources and services at Patuxent River. Development of the aircraft carrier and the Short Take-off Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft variants dictate the use of the test facilities at Patuxent River in a sea-level environment. CURRENT SITUATION: Adequate facilities do not currently exist to support this new mission. Construction of new facilities, as well as modification of existing facilities, is required. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Without this project, delays will occur in the JSF acquisition schedule and prolong the transition of this aircraft to the Fleet in support of augmentation of other operating Fleet aircraft, e.g. AV-8B and FA/18 A-F. Failure to provide this project prior to the start of JSF Flight Test site activation will require significant expenditures for temporary relocatables, resulting in shortcomings at other facilities and security work arounds. 12.
