Description
Description — Operating Forces Support Equipment
This budget line item funds procurement of various items of equipment to support the operating forces at Naval Stations and related facilities, including, but not limited to the following: Live Firefighting Trainer: Funds provided for new construction, shipping, set-up, and operator training for live fire mobile training devices. The specific live fire device shall be configured to provide both structural fire scenarios, various shipboard fire scenarios and confined space rescue scenarios during hands-on training. Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Fire and Emergency Services (F&ES) staffing will increase during the next 5 years to meet the new requirements of shipboard manning as a result of the USS Bonhomme Richard (BHR) recommendations requiring the firefighters to receive the required training for certification and proficiency skills in the new trainers located at installations selected. Live fire trainers are essential to supporting Navy live fire training requirements for civilian and military response crews. Inflation costs are factored in to determine amount and type of trainers to be purchased. Mobile Aircraft Training Devices: Funds provided for new construction, shipping, set-up, and operator training for various types of mobile aircraft fire training devices. The live fire device shall have the ability to safely produce propane fuel fires for specific types of aircrafts such as large frame, fighter and helicopters during hands-on training per the selected vendor, supporting Navy live fire training requirements for civilian and military response crews. Shipboard Firefighting Responders, Equipment, and JRM Services: Program provides all-hazards response to shore locations including specialized response to Navy ports. Fund Shipboard Firefighting Responders, Specialty Equipment, and Suppression Apparatus, and Increase Joint Region Marianas (JRM) Fire and Emergency Services to meet mission requirements. Increased funding implements corrective action resulting from Board USS Bonhomme Richard Learning 2 Action and Major Fires review. Recent losses to fleet assets have shown a severe deficiency in the ability to supply large capacity water and personnel resources to battle major shipboard fires while docked at Navy piers. Professional CNIC F&ES firefighters do not have the proper tools to gain access and provide uninterrupted agent application in hazardous conditions, which directly increase the risks of more significant property loss due to rapid fire spread. Request spans increases to current equipment levels (eg hose adapters, nozzles and SCBA compressors), new types of equipment (e.g. firehose that also deliver SCBA air to firefighters) and technology (eg, tablets, thermal imagers and unmanned agent application). Equipment will be allocated to locations with shipboard firefighting requirement. Requested capabilities and funds are not currently in baseline funding. JRM services identified risk to submarines, tenders, Port Operations and ship repair facilities from current manning deficit increases mission degradation. Additional personnel and the requirement of building new fire station for Polaris Point is immediate priority to be completed. Fender/Bumper/Separator Systems: Procurement includes various size and shaped energy absorbing cushions placed between a pier and a ship/submarine or between two ships/submarines. Multiple fenders may be used with different size and types of ships. Various types of filling of air or other material may be procured. Standard type is hydro-pneumatic rubber fender made IAW ISO 17357. May be used for both submarine and surface ships. Composite CVN Camels: Procurement of large floating metal or composite structures designed to maintain the proper distance for Carrier Vessel/Nuclear Carrier Vessel (CV/CVNs) to keep the ships from being damaged or damaging the pier structure. Composite CVN Camels are used against the pier to moor an Aircraft carrier on a pier. The camels go against the pier (between the pier and ship) to protect the infrastructure/pier and the ship from damage. It also puts distance between the ship and pier. When USN Carriers are placed alongside a pier the hull design dictates the need to use standoff equipment. The camels requested provide the necessary standoff. These composite camels offer considerable reduction in maintenance due to constructed material. As currently utilized ship support equipment ages it becomes necessary to replace that equipment. Equipment procurement budgets are not adequate to keep up with the demand for ship support equipment. As more ships are placed into service the requirement exceeds currently available support equipment. Submarine Deep Draft Camels: Procurement of very large floating metal structures designed to maintain the proper distance for submarines to keep them from being damaged by the pier. These may be for specific submarine classes (e.g. Fast Attack), or universal (i.e. for all submarine classes). They are used against the pier to moor a submarine on a pier. The camels go against the pier (between the pier and submarine) to protect the infrastructure/pier and the submarine from damage. It puts distance between the submarine to protect special sensors from damage. Universal Submarine Composite Camels: Procurement of universal pierside, composite camels used to breast submarines from piers/wharves. They are fabricated of universal composite material with a modular design. Size is approximately 36 ft. W x 18 ft. H x 17.6 ft. D. Suitable for all classes of submarines. Paint Floats: procurement of floating assets that are used by Port Operations and Ship's Force personnel to facilitate external ship work (blasting, painting, and other maintenance). They can also be used as separators or camels. These can be towed into place, or may even be self-propelled. They may have permanent or movable work platforms installed as needed to assist in reaching work sites. Some may have self-ballasting mechanisms to help maintain stability and come in various sizes. Composite Sub camels: The composite Submarine camels significantly reduce the amount of maintenance required to keep the units serviceable. Older models, reaching the end of serviceability are made of steel and in some cases wood. To overhaul these units requires considerable manpower. The older units do not provide the same level of hull protection the composite units provide. Equipment procurement budgets are not adequate to keep up with the demand for ship support. As more ships are placed into service the requirement exceeds currently available support equipment. DDG Separator/Ships separators: Are designed to allow ships to breast outboard another ship in support of heavy port loading. Ships separators are used to moor two ships together/alongside of each other. When there's many ships in port and pier space is limited, some installations have to place ships (DDG CLASS) together. Utility Floats: Used to moor to an existing pier to moor/dock small craft and tugboats, the current pier configurations does not allow for a safe and effective moor of small craft and tugs. Hydro Pneumatic Sub Fender; the procurement of large floating Pneumatic fenders are designed to maintain the proper standoff distance between submarines when nested and keeping them from being damaged. They also protect the submarine and pier structure when used pier side. These fenders are designed to last 10 years. The current inventory of Hydro-pneumatic fenders are past their service life and require replacement. Logistics Data System (LDS) camels: The LDS Surface Ship Camel was designed to berth DDG and CG class surface vessels. The pier designs require an LDS type camel while berthed. The updated design supports various fleet assets which are designed to maintain the proper standoff distance between nested vessels and keeping them from being damaged. Collateral Equipment: Funds provided for equipment and minor property required to initially outfit new construction financed by the, Military Construction, Navy appropriation or Host Nation funds as outlined in OPNAVINST 11010.20 series (Facilities Projects Manual). [P40A / Live FirefightingTrainer Procurement]: Funds provided for construction, shipping, set-up, and operator training for a live fire mobile training devices. The live fire device shall have the ability to safely produce propane fuel fires during hands-on training per the selected vendor, supporting Navy live fire training requirements for civilian and military response crews. [P40A / Mobile Aircraft Training Devices]: Funds provided for construction, shipping, set-up, and operator training for a mobile aircraft fire training devices. The live fire device shall have the ability to safely produce propane fuel fires during hands-on training per the selected vendor, supporting Navy live fire training requirements for civilian and military response crews. [P40A / Shipboard Firefighting Responders, Equipment, JRM Services]: Funds provided for shipboard firefighting responders, specialty and equipment, and suppression apparatus, and increase Joint Region Marianas (JRM) Fire and Emergency Services to meet mission requirements. [P40A / Port Operations Waterfront Support Equipment]: Funds are provided for the procurement of various waterfront equipment in support of fleet requirements during in port periods. This includes paint floats for hull maintenance, brows and platforms for egress, Big Deck ships ramps for onloading deployment assets, floats for docking tugs, utility floats to support submarines and pontoons for docking small boats. [P40A / Port Operations Fendering Systems]: Funds provided for the procurement of Surface Ship Camels, Fenders, and Ships Separators, designed to berth Surface Ships and Submarines to CNIC installations piers/wharfs. [P40A / Collateral Equipment]: Collateral Equipment: Funds provided for equipment and minor property required to initially outfit new construction financed by the, Military Construction, Navy appropriation or Host Nation funds as outlined in OPNAVINST 11010.20 series (Facilities Projects Manual).
