1.2 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OBJECTIVES

Project has signed $50M support agreement between USACE and Space Force.

Requirements documents, including Design Document and RFP development for similar system are available. Antenna System, including support work by others, must be constructed and commissioned NLT Sept 2027.

1.3 PROJECT SCOPE

RGS-S is a Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriations funded project, which includes design, procurement, development, integration, and testing of advanced technology hardware and software systems capable of uplink and downlink communications with Legacy SBIRS GEO, Next Generation GEO (NGG), and Next Generation Polar (NGP) space vehicles. This RDT&E funded project will be a lights-out facility, located at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado. Site improvements will be necessary to support system equipment.

Facilities and infrastructure will be designed, procured, installed, and commissioned by the contractor via the RDT&E funded contract.

The facilities and infrastructure will primarily consist of concrete pads, antenna pedestal foundations, site utilities, pathways and cabling, and two shelters, one for SFCOMM communications and one for SFELEC equipment.

Each shelter must be sized to accommodate the required equipment and the equipment manufacturer's required clearances. Shelter(s) are to be with a 3'x7' (minimum) door or larger (depending on the largest piece of equipment) to be placed in the shelter(s) and HVAC per 01 86 10.01 MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS (HVAC) requirements. Walls shall be either metal or precast. Roof shall be sloped at a minimum of 1/2" per foot. Walls, floor, and roof must be identified in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1

SECTION 01 81 00 Page 3Am #0003 requirements. Shelter(s) are to be set on concrete pads, sized at least 6" larger than the shelter on all sides. Provide a concrete ramp to the finished floor elevation of the shelter(s) at a slope of not more than 1:12 to the door(s).

The facility will be comprised of four major components that are needed to provide connectivity between the space vehicles and end users. These components are:

1. Ground Terminal Equipment (GTE)

2. Communications and Networking Equipment (CNE)

3. Facilities and Infrastructure (F&I)

4. Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence/Information Technology (C4I/IT)

RGS-S will include three (3) sets of GTE housed in environmentally-controlled radomes.

CNE will provide the interface between GTE and external interfaces. CNE will primarily consist of routers, firewalls, computers, cryptos, and other associated networking equipment and will be housed in its own environmentally controlled CNE shelter. This equipment will provide communications services, cyber services, networking services, encryption, fault detection, local configuration, administrative functions, and timing.

F&I will support GTE and CNE, and C4I/IT. F&I will primarily consist of concrete pads, antenna pedestal foundations, radome ringwalls, site utilities, backup generators, fuel tanks, pathways and cabling, and SFCOMM and SFELEC shelters. RGS-S F&I must comply with [*Am-3]UFC 1-200-01 (DoD Building Code) and Appendix A - Site Preliminary Design Document (SPDD)[**Am-3].

C4I/IT will consist of communication network infrastructure from on-site entrance location, network equipment, telephony, and security and protection systems (e.g., ESS, FRCS, local transport).
