MEMORAlNDUM FOR: Director of Communications
Chief, Domestic Networks Division, OC
SUBJECT: New Headquarters Building Estimated Communication
Support Costs and. Space Requirements for FY-1985
Through FY-1988
1. This memorandum contains estimated equipment and space
requirements and costs related to communications support for the
Headquarters Building Annex during FY-1985-FY-1938.
2. Decisions were made on the premise of relocating the entire
DND staff and branches to the new building with the exception of some
of Cable Secretariat and the Voice Communications Branches. Costs and
space requirements are also provided if the Domestic Networks Division
remains in.the main Headquarters Building. (See Attachment A and B)
3. Relocation of the Telecommunications Branch (TUC) will
require the procurement and installation of all new equipment in the
new TOC area. The equipment in the present TOC area will be used as
backup/spares or disposed of appropriately. 25X1
4. The TOC personnel will be physically separated from the
equipment in a low noise operational area. The technical support
maintenance personnel and their test/repair stations will be housed.
adjacent to their respective equipment areas. 25X1
S Estimated cost for a Government owned black telephone-system
is This is for a total system, i.e., Headquarters and the 25X1
new Annex. A breakdown of the costs are shown below for an Annex
system and for the Headquarters system as well. 25X1
6. Funds have been programmed by the Office of Communications
Engineering Division in FY-84 as a new initiative for a feasibility

study to determine whether procurement of a Government owned unclas-
sified telephone system is more economically prudent than continued
leasing of the present commercial system. If FY-83 funds are avail-
able, it is recommended that this study be accomplished in FY-83
vice FY-84. F I
7. The funds for this telephone system would be required no
later than FY-1985 in or er to be operational and available for
resident use in FY-87.
8. The following represents the estimated support costs for a
Government owned black telephone system:
9. Estimated cost for Secure Voice/Data service is
Secure Voice will be by means of a DBX-5000 secure telephone switch
and ancillary equipment. It will be installed in the new building
and will be a satellite off of the present DBX-5000 HSTS switch in
Headquarters. A cost breakdown follows:

required muxes/crypto to communicate with all SK'YLINK Stations, will

12. The building contractor will install the conduit and IDF
boxes for the secure grid and will install Government furnished cable
in the secure grid.
13. A CDF will be installed in the new building and positioned
so that it will also serve as an RMDF for the TOC area.
14. The facility housing the TOC should be constructed to meet
vault-type room specifications. Within the TOC, a VTR-type room
(approximately 25' x 15') should be constructed to store COMSEC
keying material.
15. The new building is being constructed with TEMPEST in mind
thus there is no known requirement for shielded enclosure. Filtered
A/C power should be provided to service all RED processing and
cryptographic equipment. All signal lines carrying classified
information between the Annex and the Headquarters Building will have
to be either covered (cryptographically protected) or be installed in
a secure grid approved by the Office of Security.

17. Two approaches have been taken to determine space required
in both buildings. The first approach assumes that the Domestic
Networks Division (DND) will move to the new building and the second

achmerts C and D). Both approaches assume that the OC personnel
will move into the new building.

19. Project MERCURY and the 114essage Handling Facility (MHF) will
require approximate) feet. Redundant operations are 25X1
necessary in order to provide a rapid and smooth transition of opera-
tions. Whether the new Telecommunications Operations Center (TOC)
will be in the new building or the old building, the relocation process
will be very complex. More problems arise if the old building is used
for the new TOC. The minimum space for a close relocation extends
where the DND offices are now (1B04-lB24) and along the "A" corridor
from 1A24-lA36 which is occupied by another office. This space
provides which does not allow for any equipment 25X1
expansion. The 4-C Project occupies the remainder of "A" corridor.
Nearby space for personnel would have to be obtained prior to
converting the present office space to equipment space. 25X1
20. In my judgement it would be more cost effective to leave
DND in the old building. I believe the MERCURY system will be
here ahead of the building and we should install and activate. To
duplicate this in the new building is going to be an expensive,
labor intensive effort.
