RECORD OF CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION

This document memorializes the determination of the below-named action proponent, as per OPNAV M-5090.1 Chapter 10, Environmental Readiness Program Manual, that neither an Environmental Assessment nor Environmental Impact Statement need be prepared for the following proposed action:

SOF NSWG2 TRAINING FACILITY; JOINT EXPEDITIONARY BASE LITTLE

CREEK, VIRGINIA

Action Proponent: Joint Base Commander; Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story

Description of Proposed Action: This project constructs an operational training facility as an addition to existing Bldg.

3854.

Applicable Categorical Exclusion: The action proponent has determined that the following Categorical Exclusion is applicable to the proposed action:

(34) New construction that is similar to existing land use and, when completed, the use or operation of which complies with existing regulatory requirements (e.g., a building within a cantonment area with associated discharge/runoff within existing handling capabilities).

Facts Supporting Categorical Exclusion:

The proposed action may be categorically excluded because it is not of a kind likely to significantly affect the quality of the human environment, does not result in any significant change from conditions existing at the site of the proposed action, and will result in effects that are primarily economic or social.

Consideration of Circumstances Precluding Categorical Exclusion:

A proposed action shall not be categorically excluded if it:

a. Would adversely affect public health or safety;

b. Involves effects on the human environment that are highly uncertain, involve unique or unknown risks, or which are scientifically controversial;

c. Establishes precedents or make decisions in principle for future actions that have the potential for significant impacts;

d. Threatens a violation of Federal, State, or local environmental laws applicable to DON; or

e. Involves an action that, as determined in coordination with the appropriate resource agency, may:

(1) Have an adverse effect on Federally-listed endangered and threatened species or marine mammals;

(2) Have an adverse effect on coral reefs or on Federally-designated wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, marine sanctuaries, or park lands;

(3) Have an adverse effect on the size, function, or biological value of wetlands and is not covered by a nationwide or regional permit;

(4) Have an adverse effect on archaeological resources or resources (including but not limited to ships, aircraft, vessels and equipment) listed or determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places; or

(5) Result in an uncontrolled or unpermitted release of hazardous substances or require a conformity determination under standards of the Clean Air Act General Conformity Rule.

None of the foregoing conditions are present in this case:

There are no archaeological concerns for the proposed project.

No SHPO consultation is required at this time.

Retention: This document shall be retained for a period of not less than 6 years.

APPENDIX 8 JTAC SIMULATOR CRITERIA

• Floor Covering Materials

• Trainer Facilities Report for the JTC TRS Program, Version 1.0 dated 13 December 2019

Floor Covering Materials:

Flooring within and around the dome area should be dark and made of materials that minimize reflection of light and sound. Additionally, it is desirable that the flooring directly within the dome have some resiliency for the benefit of the students on their knees for long periods. Care should be taken, however, to utilize floor covering materials that minimize the generation of static electricity and electrostatic discharge (ESD). While the dome area is where the generation of static electricity is typically most prevalent, working around the equipment racks and IOS Station is also important for ESD event prevention.

Currently fielded AAJTS devices have utilized a variety of flooring types: most sites have low pile industrial carpet on either concrete or raised flooring panels throughout the entire trainer area, which have not experienced ESD problems but also do not provide extra cushioning in their dome areas. Others have utilized foam rubber padding that has been installed either directly on the base floor throughout the room or on top of carpeting located only within the dome area. Most of these have experienced ESD problems, their severity being highly dependent on material type and compatibility with base materials.

The AJTS is comprised of COTS electronics equipment that does not require any special handling or care other than basic industry-standard cautions for preventing damage due to static electricity. Choice of flooring cover material is perhaps the largest influence on how much static electricity is generated by personnel during normal operations. There are a number of flooring products available that are designed to help manage static. One function of these floors is to minimize the generation of voltage built up by walking across the floor, and the other function is to rapidly remove charge to ground so that it does not affect the equipment. These types of products, available in both foam rubber and woven fabric material, typically require connection to earth ground. Cost and complexity varies widely, and it is left to the facility engineers to balance the costs against user preferences and facility implementation considerations.

The following provides background information on flooring materials and static electricity, excerpted from MIL-HDBK-263.

It is commonly known that the simple act of walking across a floor can generate sufficient voltage, which, if not properly managed, can cause an electrostatic discharge (ESD) events that can cause equipment failures and personnel shocks and discomfort. This is a result of contacting or rubbing of two substances, referred to as the triboelectric effect. There are a number of variables that influence this, which is why there is no “one size fits all” solution for the management of static electricity.

A triboelectric series is a list of substances in an order of positive to negative charging as a result of the triboelectric effect. A substance higher on the list is positively charged (loses electrons) when contacted with a substance lower on the list (which gains electrons). The order of ranking in a triboelectric series is not always a constant or repetitive. The magnitude of the charge is primarily dependent on the size, shape, composition and electrical properties of the substances which make up the bodies. Some substances readily give up electrons while others tend to accumulate electrons. Other variables include level of room humidity, conductivity of the materials, and clothing materials worn by personnel.

Typical prime charge sources commonly encountered in a facility include materials such as common vinyl or plastic floor or work surfaces, sealed concrete, finished wood or fiberglass furniture, synthetic garments, or non-conductive shoes. These prime sources are essentially insulators and are typically synthetic materials. Electrostatic voltage levels generated with these insulators can be extremely high since they are not readily distributed over the entire surface of the substance or conducted to another contacting substance. The generation of 15,000 volts from common plastics in a typical facility is not unusual, which could damage any ESD sensitive parts regardless of their electrical and ground connections.

RE: Contract Number: FA8621-16-C-6396 Statement of Work (SOW) – Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal System (JTC TRS) Program Production and Sustainment Contract, 29 August 2018 Government comments received 21 November 2019

Dear Ms. Yenger-Shepherd:

Attached hereto please find the subject submittal of Contract Data Requirement List (CDRL) A027, Trainer Facilities Report, report number QD03716R1-6015-A027-001-F-1912-001, pursuant to the above-referenced contract. The report submittal addresses the government comments received 21 November 2019.

We would like to bring to your attention that we didn’t make any changes in the Trainer Facilities Report regarding Comment # 7 as most sites exceed the minimum footprint area shown in Figure 3-6, even at the expanded 34-foot length. In the few sites with smaller total areas, room shape has allowed for varied orientations of equipment in order to fit the room, even if the accessibility or relative proximities are not as convenient as in the Figure 3-6 notional configuration. In some of those cases, additional Fire Marshall waivers were obtained where 3-ft minimum access spacing was limited.

Should you have any questions regarding this resubmittal, or should any additional information be required, please contact Mr. Thomas Schray, JTC TRS Program Manager, at 540-533-7449.

Please refer to report number QD03716R1-6015-A027-001-F-1912-001 with any inquiries regarding this submittal.

2 SCOPE

This Facility Requirements Document describes the basic JTC TRS facility requirements and the simulator facility that houses the device. It outlines the minimum physical space, environmental, and electrical requirements to properly and safely operate the JTC TRS.

Depending upon specific host base requirements, units may require more than one JTC TRS or expand the minimum requirements to include additional office or briefing facilities. This document addresses only the minimum requirements for the training device.

Performing tasks or ensuring compliance with requirements, as delineated throughout this document, are the responsibility of facility management, unless specifically identified as the responsibility of the JTC TRS Integrators (“Integrators”) who will assemble the system.

Unauthorized duplication or disclosure of this material is prohibited

3 GENERAL FACILITY REQUIREMENTS

3.1 System Space Requirements

The Integrators will assemble the JTC TRS inside the facility. Provide a bay facility with a standard double door (60” wide, 80” high) for facility access of the modular JTC TRS components.

Minimum hallway width leading to the trainer room is 6 feet in order to safely maneuver equipment into the room. The floor loading will be no greater than 250 lb/ft². Installation sites involving movement to a different floor require an elevator with a minimum weight capacity of 2,100 pounds and cabin floorspace size of 80 in. x 51 in. minimum. The preferred elevator door opening width is 42 in., but a 36 in. opening width is workable but may require some disassembly and may take more time to complete.

For optimal spacing, provide a bay facility with 1,200 ft² (30ft by 40ft or similar) and with ceilings at least 13ft 6 inches high to allow for the safe and proper operation and installation of all JTC TRS components. Refer to Section 7, “Safety Requirements” for additional information regarding ceiling height requirements and required fire detection and suppression systems.

The JTC TRS is made up of four separate equipment or activity zones:

1. Main five-meter domed Display System (“Dome Display”)

The main, five-meter domed display system includes the following:

• High Definition (HD) Light Emitting Diode (LED) projectors.

• Screens with a minimum size of 270° horizontally × 100 ° vertically and 19 ft ×

19 ft × 11 ft, 11 in.

• A multi-channel audio system with surrounding speakers built into the dome.

• An adjacent woofer speaker included as a part of the display system.

The area on which the five-meter dome is placed needs to be level to ±1cm.

2. Combined Workstation The Combined Workstation includes the following:

• Two stations housed in a 12 ft × 3 ft console.

• The console includes an array of monitors for use by an Instructor/Operator (at the IOS) and a Role Player (at the Pilot Station Console (PSC)) during training sessions.

3. The System Equipment Racks (SER) The SER includes the following:

There will be three SERs with heavy duty roller casters, and front and rear removable shipping covers. Each SER will be 28 in × 36 in × 74 in each and will house the following:

• Image generators.

• Associated computers and other support electronics.

Unauthorized duplication or disclosure of this material is prohibited

4. Simulators Common Architecture and Standards (SCARS) Cyber Security Server (CSS) Rack

The JTC TRS SCARS CSS Rack is installed for connecting the JTC TRS to Distributed Mission Operation (DMO) events. Ensure there is adequate space for the CSS Rack (HxWxL) 60 in × 24 in × 36 in. The Ethernet CAT6 cable connecting the CSS to the JTC TRS System Rack must not exceed 328 ft [100 meters].

This distance limitation is defined in ANSI/TIA-568 Telecommunications Cabling Standard.

Contact the local facility Civil Engineering staff for guidance on security compliance requirements associated with this Ethernet cable routing path and connection. Longer Ethernet cable lengths are possible with the use of special Ethernet Extenders, but these introduce additional power connection requirements and will complicate the security compliance expectations.

Additionally, there will be government supplied racks that enable the JTC TRS to connect to DMO missions and/or store classified data and hard drives. Each site could have one or more of the following:

• DMO Network Equipment Rack (HxWxL) 51.5 in × 30 in × 45 in

• ARCNet Equipment Rack (HxWxL) (50 in x 26 in x 34 in)

• GSA Class 6 approved safe (two drawer) (HxWxL) (30 5/8 in ×17 5/8 in × 28 in)

• DMO VTC (HxWxL) (70 in x 40 in x 32 in)

3.1.1 JTC TRS Configuration

The Integrators will situate all JTC TRS components (Racks and Combined Workstation (IOS/PSC)) in the same room as the Dome Display. Units should contract ACC for Non-standard configuration. ACC will contact the SPO to address Non-standard setup needs. Under no circumstances should the units or ACC contact QuantaDyn directly regarding Non-standard configuration.

Space Requirements

See Figure 3-1 for an elevation view of the Dome Display from the rear, which is the entry point for the trainees.

The JTC TRS, including the projectors, is approximately 12 ft tall. The facility height should accommodate the 12-foot JTC TRS dome, plus ensure a clearance of 18 inches from the top of the dome to the top of the sprinkler heads, (13’-6” from floor to sprinkler). See Section 7.1, “Fire Detection and Suppression Systems” for ceiling height requirements to accommodate fire sprinkler systems.

3.1.1.1 Maintenance and Setup Clearance Requirements

3.1.1.1.1 Dome Display:

See Figure 3-3 for a plan view of the Dome Display, and the required perimeter space to allow for installation, maintenance, and safe access to the entire outer dome and the projectors.

• Provide a minimum installation area of at least 25 ft × 10 ft, adjacent to where the Dome Display will be positioned, to allow the Integrators to set up a staging area for assembly.

• Provide a 3 ft maintenance perimeter around the dome to allow the Integrators to perform the following during installation and set-up:

• Install the front and rear fabric skins using the zippers around the top, bottom, and vertical edges of the dome frame. The fabric skins will act as a light-blocking shroud around the entire dome. See Appendix A for the certificate of flame retardance for the oxford cloth which will be used as the light-blocking shroud.

• Route cabling for the speakers, the Dome Display vacuum pumps, and the trainee equipment around the entire base of the dome.

• Mount the speakers internally to the dome frame.

• Route cabling vertically on the dome exterior from the floor to electronic sensors.

• Mount a speaker in the dome cap area.

• Anchor the front truss plate and the 2 side truss plates to the floor using two 5/16” x

2¼” Tapcon anchor screws per truss plate to ensure the truss structure stays in place during the installation process and during the operating life of the device.

Figure 3-3: Display System Top View and Space Requirements

3.1.1.1.2 Instructor Operator Station (IOS)

See Figure 3-4 for dimensions and minimum space requirements for the Combined

Workstation.

Maintain a space of at least 3 ft in front of seated workstations to allow a person to walk.

Maintain a space of at least 4 feet behind the workstation per 5.10.3.4.12 of MIL-STD-1472 for a seated workstation.

Figure 3-4: Combined Workstation Dimensions and Space Requirements

3.1.1.1.3 System Equipment Racks (SER)

Maintain a minimum space allowance of at least 3 ft in front of each Rack Assembly and at least 3.0 ft behind each Rack Assembly as depicted in Figure 3-5. There are 3 separate racks associated with the JTC TRS device. The racks are serviced from the front of the rack and from behind. The sides of the racks are not accessible, and the default installation configuration will be to install the racks flush side by side. When installed side by side, with a slight gap between each rack, the combined dimensions of the 3 racks will be 2’8” deep by 7’wide. Should there be a need to separate the racks, a 2 ft separation between the racks can be accommodated with the production cable set. The maximum separation between the racks is limited by the length of power and network cables used to connect components between racks.

Figure 3-5: System Equipment Rack Dimensions and Space Requirements

3.1.1.2 Activity Areas and Cabling Requirements

The individual trainer zones, including the Dome Display, Combined Workstation and SER assemblies, are interconnected with the following cable requirements:

• Power cabling: The Integrators will use power cabling to connect the main facility power to one of the Rack Assembly and to distribute individual power from there to all other units.

• Signal cabling: The Integrators will run signal cabling from the Rack Assemblies to each individual unit or station.

• Cable routing: The Integrators will run cable routing from SERs to the Combined Workstation along the floor using floor safety cord covers. The Integrators will run cable routing from SERs to the Dome Display along floor using floor safety cord covers, and then along the Dome Display base frame periphery to equipment used by the trainees.

The Integrators will use industry-approved floor safety cord covers to protect cabling routed on the floor where personnel walk.

Unauthorized duplication or disclosure of this material is prohibited

3.1.1.3 Facility-Provided Raised Flooring

If facility-provided raised flooring is installed and is not used as an air transfer system, the Integrators will:

• Run cable between stations and units below the raised floor.

• Route cable through modified floor panels with access holes and edge protection to prevent cable chafing.

If the facility has a raised floor, pedestals and stringer will be required. Discuss the possible need to add anti-sway support to the raised floor grid with the integrators. The presence of a raised floor has the potential to misalign the projection system. The JTC TRS Integrators will not know if an anti-sway support is required until the actual installment of the JTC TRS device is complete.

If the facility has a raised floor, be prepared to install an anti-sway support as required. Anchoring of the trusses on a raised floor will be performed by the installation team.

3.1.1.4 Total System Layout

See Figure 3-6 for a notional total system layout with all JTC TRS components, including space for the DMO/ARCNet gateway network rack, SCARS CSS Rack, and DMO VTC in a single room.

The gateway network rack and the GSA Class 6 approved safe are provided by the government and are shown in the diagram for reference.

Figure 3-6 represents a minimum space allocation arrangement, adequate for compliance with design constraints for MIL-STD-1472 maintainability allowance, OSHA safe egress allowance and installation setup requirements, but leaves little or no storage space availability. A total area of 1,200 square feet as stated in Paragraph 3.1 above is preferred. Also shown for reference in Figure 3-6 are the recommended power and grounding area described in Paragraph 4, and Emergency Power Off (EPO) switches as described in Paragraph 4.1.

If the layout of the JTC TRS in the facility does not allow for the required safety, maintenance and egress space, obtain written authorization for the reduced perimeter from the local fire department or the site’s civil engineering division before installation.

The dome display, Combined Workstation and SERs can also be placed in separate rooms, however cable lengths required to accommodate a non-standard configuration will drive discussions with the Program Office, on a case by case basis.

As allowed by the overall facility space and by the relative positioning of equipment zones, ensure consoles or immediate workspace have enough storage space to store manuals, worksheets, and other required materials; including basic operational equipment as specified in 5.10.2.8 of

MIL-STD-1472.

Figure 3-6: Representative Total Trainer Layout

3.2 Entrance Requirements

The JTC TRS will include a curtain that can be utilized at the dome entrance to isolate the dome occupants from external light and noise from the Combined Workstation. While a curtain assembly will be provided for all devices, the installation of this curtain is optional and dependent

Unauthorized duplication or disclosure of this material is prohibited on the setup configuration at each facility. If installed, the curtain is to be closed only during night operations to minimize projector airflow interference.

3.3 Emergency Passage Requirements

Maintain the facility with adequate emergency passages in accordance with local regulations or as specified in OSHA 1910.36(g)(s), “Means of Egress” which states, “Where there is only one exit access leading to an exit or exit discharge, the width of the exit and exit discharge must be at least equal to the width of the exit access,” which in this case is assumed to be a 3 ft wide exit door.

3.4 Support Requirements

In addition to the JTC TRS and its associated system components, provide the following in the simulator facility as required:

• Lockable spares storage closet at least 4 ft × 3 ft maintaining temperatures between 59°F to 86°F and a non-condensing humidity between 20 and 80 percent.

• Access to a briefing room at least 10 ft × 12 ft to be used for student training pre-brief and debrief purposes.

At CONUS and OCONUS sites, the JTC TRS will arrive via a 3rd party, specialized freight company. The delivery tractor/trailer will be on-site only for the amount of time required to unload the JTC TRS; normally about 4 hours after unloading has begun.

Ensure that contractor-provided personnel have direct access into the building that houses the simulator bay to facilitate unloading.

After the staging area for unpacked materials is identified during the site survey, ensure the staging area is cleared and ready to receive material at least 24 hours before the JTC TRS installation. A government representative at the site will notify the surveyor of security protocols, facility access hours, and after-hours access during the installation.

3.4.1 Communications Requirements

Provide telephone access (such as a secure terminal equipment (STE) or regular landline with push to talk capabilities) commensurate with the security classification of the JTC TRS room.

Provide internet (AFNet) access in close proximity to the JTC TRS device.

When the JTC TRS is approved to conduct Distributed Mission Operation (DMO) events, a minimum T-1 or equivalent network connection will be required. A distributed training network provider contractor and the Comm Squadron will assist with the ordering and installation of the T- 1 line, but the facility may still be responsible for costs to extend the T-1 line to the facility as necessary. See Section 8, “Security” for additional network and communication requirements when the JTC TRS moves towards DMO capabilities and operating in SECRET mode.

Unauthorized duplication or disclosure of this material is prohibited

3.4.2 Green Gas Canisters

The JTC TRS includes training with provided M4 replica rifles. The M4 training rifle is a QuantaDyn modified Airsoft M4 simulated recoil weapon, manufactured by KWA, which provides a precise weight, function, and feel of a real M4. The M4 training rifle utilizes refillable canisters (in the shape of a standard rifle magazine) which are filled from compressed green gas (propane with a lubricant) canisters to provide a recoil effect. The green gas that leaves the muzzle while firing is exhausted, with a minimal amount of pressure, through slots in the sides of the tip assembly. Green Gas canisters (8 oz) are readily available from commercial sports stores specializing in Airsoft guns or from online vendors worldwide. Common Green Gas brand names include Valken Tactical (part number: 41543), King Air and Firepower. A minimum of six 8-ounce canisters will be provided by the integrators at the start of the installation effort. The responsibility to maintain a regular supply of green gas canisters once the JTC TRS device has been fielded resides with the end user. Suggest storing spare Green Gas canisters in a temperature/humidity controlled lockable spares storage closet.

3.4.3 Floor Matting

If the facility floor is made of a material that will amplify light reflection or sound, install matte black or dark matting on the floor, at least under the proposed area of the JTC TRS dome.
