Section 1:
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Scope. This military handbook, MIL-HDBK-1024/1, contains guidance
for (Navy and Contract) planners, engineers, and architects on the planning,
engineering, and design of Department of the Navy aviation operational and
support facilities. This is supplementary guidance to be used in conjunction
with Base Electronic Systems Engineering Plans (BESEPs), Intrusion Detection
Systems Engineering Plans (IDSEPs), Base Exterior Architecture Plans (BEAPs),
and other DOD and Department of Transportation material for the planning and
construction of Naval aviation operational and support facilities and the
preparation of DD 1391 Military Construction and Step II Special Project
Submissions. It is assumed that general architectural and engineering
standards are known or available to the planner. Navy criteria concerning
basic and detailed construction and engineering criteria are not addressed in
this handbook and are a prerequisite for facility planning.
1.2
Purpose of Criteria. Subject guidance will be used for planning
individual projects, preparing engineering documentation, and preparing
contractual documents for construction. It is intended to present the basis
for standardization of practices and identify a common baseline to be used as
a guide during the planning of new facilities or the modification of existing
facilities.
1.3
Predesign Programming. Naval aviation is a highly dynamic field
which depends on state-of-the-art computer technology and the design of Navy
aviation operational and support facilities requires close coordination
between the designer and other parties. Consider a predesign programming
session at the host activity to establish specific requirements for the
proposed facility. Responsibilities involved in predesign stages are as
follows:
Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). The CNO is the Director of Naval
1.3.1
Communications, who sponsors and supports Naval communications facilities
through the Naval Telecommunications Command and other commands. The CNO, as
the user, states the needs of the operating and supporting facilities for
research and development, improved equipment, new equipment, spare and repair
parts, consumables, training, maintenance, personnel facilities, and any other
requirements of the user. In many instances, the CNO is responsible for
supporting the Defense Informations Systems Agency (DISA), which is the
sponsor for the nation's world-wide Defense Communications System (DCS). CNO,
Code OP-N885F2, is the governing body or Operations Navy (OPNAV) sponsor for
Naval Air Traffic Control (ATC), Air Navigation Aids and Landing Systems
(NAALS) programs, operations, and funding. CNO is responsible for formulating
policies, directives, procedures and guidelines which govern planning,
programming and implementation of the NAALS ATC program and associated
equipment for use at naval aviation shore facilities. CNO is responsible for
Improvement Requests (OCIRs), representing the Navy in interagency agreements
