REQUIREMENT: Adequate and efficiently configured facilities are required to accommodate MMA flight testing schedules. Construction of the ITT facility in FY 2006 is required to support 250 Integrated Test Team personnel projected to be on site in January 2007, which is one year earlier than the projected ITT building outfit date of January 2008. Temporary lease trailers will be used to house personnel during construction and outfitting.

The Navy Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance fleet of P-3 aircraft are reaching the end of their fatigue life. The MMA program will recapitalize the capabilities currently provided by the P-3 aircraft systems. The acquisition strategy identifies NAWCAD Patuxent River as the primary test site. Existing facilities need to be renovated and/or reconfigured and over 440 personnel, consisting of MMA, Naval Research Laboratory, and VX1, must be relocated and consolidated in order to adequately support the MMA program requirements. Renovations and modernization to existing facilities are required to efficiently support the test and maintenance of six test aircraft. Renovation to an existing hangar will be done in a follow on project.

CURRENT SITUATION:

The approved acquisition strategy states that the principal test site for the Development Test and Evaluation programs for the MMA variant will be conducted at NAS Patuxent River and its associated Test Facilities. There are no available facilities for the Integrated Test Team.

IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED:

If not provided the MMA Program will suffer severe delays in providing replacement aircraft to the fleet. This will result in a large cost to the Navy, since it will have to continuously repair the existing aging P-3, which has exceeded its structural design life.

To provide fleet operational services and infrastructure management to support combat logistic homeporting, ordnance functions and tenant activities and execution of national military strategy. Ordnance function includes: to receive, renovate, maintain, store, and issue ammunition, explosives, expendable ordnance items, weapons. and maintain basic and war reserve ammunition stocks. Station also acts as overseas ammunition transhipment point for Armed Forces.

Increment I will include mobilization; upgrading Pier 2 to provide temporary berths during construction; demolition of existing Pier and Trestle 3; and dredging to -47 (14.33m) (approximately 526,017 cubic meters).

INCREMENT II - Increment II will include mobilization; new trestle with steel or

concrete piles and pile caps: new pier with steel or concrete piles and pile caps; concrete deck construction; finish wye area after Trestle 3 removal; and construct shore utilities.

INCREMENT III Increment III will include completing the new pier and trestle from the new concrete deck. Construction will include the following: utility galleries, railroad tracks, fender system, pier buildings, counter terrorism features (lighting, cameras and floating barrier), the construction of tug/barge berths, the completion of mechanical and electrical systems (including lightning protection and onshore utilities); and the demolition of Pier and Trestle 2.

Sustainable principles will be integrated into the design, development, and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13123 and other laws and Executive Orders.

(Current Mission)

Om2

REQUIREMENT:

NWS Earle requires 1,130 meters of berthing at two piers. Berths are required to support four Fast Combat Support (AOE) class ships, each with a maximum length of 243 meters. One berth is required for U. S. Navy ammunition ship load-out and three berths are required to support AOE's while in homeport.

CURRENT SITUATION:

Currently, the NWS Earle Pier Complex is comprised of the following three piers: Pier 2, Pier 3, and Pier 4 (Pier 1 serves as the temporary explosive truck holding yard at the Waterfront).

Pier 2 (concrete deck on timber piles) provides one berth for homeporting and is dredged to 35 ft. Pier 2 was constructed in 1944 and is limited by the following restrictions: Dredged depth restricts AOE berthing; Structural restrictions: One AOE can be berthed on the West side with winds velocities up to 60 miles per hour (MPH) maximum, two AOE's can be berthed with wind velocities up to 30 MPH maximum; Pier 2 requires platform modifications for ordnance loading; ordnance loading on Pier 2 is restricted due to pier
