>> And the ribbon was cut on the 22nd of March 2018
for the new building that expands the Marine operation center
at March Air Reserve Base California CVP an air Marine.
>> They now have a facility that is more accommodating for their mission.
The tax dollars were world spread
because it doesn't have the mission number one.
Number two is a competitive process
that we put out and awarded this contract.
It came in pretty close to what the cost estimate
was the small business contractor.
They did hire people from within the community here.
And so it came in.
>> The budget estimate is roughly over 22000 square feet.
We were able to break ground complete the building
in about 16 months which is great time for government work and funding.
>> We've been able to keep everything within our requirements and parameters.
The wireless technology we have here
everything is underground the cable.
So if there's a power outage
where where the cables go down will not affect us.
We've looked at all the new technologies for communications for this building
and it's the access is extremely limited.
There are guard gates at the air reserve base
and we have our additional guard gates for a mock facility
about 3,500 square foot conference room
which is really nice.
We've also we've also modernized our ATP room
which has a hot coal vial now
as compared to previously it
was a very inefficient.
>> Way of putting the racks in the servers.
And there's still a lot of room for expansion here.
So.
We're getting towards that 80000 square foot a mock campus that we desire this.
>> 22000 square foot building brings us to about 60000.
So about another 20 25000 will be there.
So I think that the next step in an incremental fashion
will be to construct a third building that is intelligence centric.
For just as this second building
has been technology centric information systems and for.
The next Billy should be intelligence centric.
>> Because that is a huge growth area. It pays dividends to the operation.
>> Law enforcement side well this expansion plan
and the support we receive from the Appropriations Committee
and from CVP headquarters from Aimo headquarters
clearly indicates that they understand the critical nature of the work we do.
>> They understand that there is no backstop understand
there is no second stream.
There is a safety net for we do.
>> Therefore this is an important place to invest
is an important place to try to visualize the future.
>> It's an important place to prepare us for those threats
that are not yet known for those threats of the kind of fuzzy
you kind of see over the horizon and you get a sense of it.
>> And today you have to start preparing for the things that will happen to us
tomorrow.
