  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Madam Speaker, I submit the following:
  Requesting Member: Congressman C.W. Bill Young.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638--Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, 
and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009
  Account: Military Construction, Army National Guard.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Florida Army National Guard.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 400 S. Monroe Street, Tallahassee, 
Florida 32399.
  Description of Request: Provides $20,907,000 for construction of 
Phase IV of the Regional Training Institute (RTI), Project Number 
120191, located at Camp Blanding, Starke, Florida 32091. It is my 
understanding that the Florida Army National Guard (FLARNG) and Army 
National Guard readiness will be affected if the school cannot educate 
and train soldiers. This final phase will finish construction of the 
remaining 65,000 square feet of billeting, all remaining 
infrastructure, supporting facilities, and all necessary work not 
completed in the prior phases to support and house students attending 
the courses at the training institute.
  Requesting Member: Congressman C.W. Bill Young.

33762.
  Description of Request: Provides $3,200,000 for an AAR-47 Missile 
Advance Warning System. The AAR-47 is an extremely effective, low cost, 
missile warning system that provides significant timely warning of 
missile and laser threats to U.S. aircraft. This program will provide 
upgrades for new requirements based on emerging threats in the Global 
War on Terrorism, and it will address long-term performance 
improvements for emerging threats. This system is currently fielded in 
a wide variety of fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft currently being

  Address of Requesting Entity: Central Avenue, Suite 1370, St. 
Petersburg FL 33701.
  Description of Request: Provides $2,400,000 for Battlefield Sensor 
Netting (BSN). BSN will provide the warfighter with unparalleled access 
to mission critical, real-time sensor data. Although tremendous 
progress has been made in the advancement of sensors, there has not 
been a corresponding advancement in data link network technologies that 
can effectively disseminate, display and exploit the tremendous amounts 
of

[[Page E1993]]

data generated by modern sensor systems. The Battlefield Sensor Netting 
program bridges the sensor to shooter gap. It would provide a high 
bandwidth data network that combines the advantages of low cost, highly 
capable commercial wireless technologies with the extended range, 
jamming resistance and security provided by phased array antennas, 
military encryption systems and network software.

  Description of Request: Provides $4,000,000 for C-Band Radar 
Replacement Development. The C-Band active array radar is capable of 
replacing several in-service ship radars facing obsolescence and 
escalating maintenance costs. This program is intended to be the Air 
Traffic Control/Marshalling radar for amphibious ships. It will replace 
the obsolete and difficult to maintain SPS-67. At half the cost of 
similar radars, CBAAR will provide surface search, air traffic control, 
anti-ship missile defense and navigation.

FL 33764-7290.
  Description of Request: Provides $2,400,000 for a Chip Scale Atomic 
Clock project. Atomic clocks allow for accurate time reference for 
communications and navigation systems. However, most atomic clocks are 
very heavy (100 lbs or more), too large for handheld or compact 
electronic systems and also too costly. This project will miniaturize 
the atomic clocks for inclusion on the battlefield, help prevent IED 
jammers from interfering with each other and will provide position 
accuracy even in areas where GPS is unavailable or denied.

  Description of Request: Provides $1,600,000 for the Children's 
Oncology Group (COG) treats 90 percent of children in the U.S. 
diagnosed with cancer, including hundreds of children of the men and 
women serving in our armed forces. In order to meet the needs of 
military families who have children with cancer, the COG developed the 
Uniformed Services Oncology Consortium (USOC). The USOC is a group of 
military institutions within the COG. Because of the COG network, 
children are able to receive state of the art care in COG institutions 
throughout the country and are often treated at institutions other than 
those on a military base because of the increased availability of care. 
This funding will expand on ongoing research by COG with the Department 
of Defense and improve investigations of the genetic, epigenetic and 
signal transduction pathways.

  Description of Request: Provides $3,200,000 for a Common Below Decks 
Architecture. Legacy shipboard surveillance radars operating at various 
frequencies cannot sustain operational effectiveness or realize their 
full performance potential without a marked improvement in below decks 
signal/data processing. This program is intended to provide a common 
architectural approach to unique below decks signal/data processing 
requirements which can benefit 120 radars installed on 74 ships.

The program is developing a comprehensive, networked, waterside and 
landside port and maritime domain awareness system. The initiative 
applies the latest available technology and develops new capabilities 
to fill deficiencies in existing systems. Technology used to support 
the effort takes advantage of the latest advances in micro-systems and 
nano-materials for sensors and communications.

  Description of Request: Provides $2,400,000 for Countermeasures to 
Chemical Biological Threats. Prior to the anthrax laden letters of late 
2001, USF and the other 10 institutions which comprise the State 
University System of Florida were working on preparing the United 
States for an unannounced bioterrorist attack. Until then, basic 
microbiologic research had not been widely transferred from the 
laboratory to actual application in the field. It is in this 
environment that the State University System of Florida with the USF 
College of Public Health as the lead and coordinator was awarded 
Congressional project funds.

Largo, FL 33777.
  Description of Request: Provides $2,400,000 for Combating Terrorism 
Technical Support Office (CTTSO) and STAR-TEC Partnership. Disruptive 
technologies for potential solutions in combating terrorism are 
frequently created by small, fragile start up enterprises with highly 
unique skills. Historically, 80 percent of these emerging technology 
companies fail before their fifth birthday due to an unbalanced focus 
on product development and insufficient attention to fiscal operational 
management. Statistically, 87 percent of small companies mentored by 
professional business incubators succeed. This project seeks to meld 
STAR-TEC's business incubation and acceleration expertise with CTTSO's 
mission to rapidly field new combating terrorism technology solutions 
to ensure the fiscal health of the domestic, small business partners 
selected by CTTSO for technology acceleration.

helicopter flights in Iraq and Afghanistan happen during darkness, it 
is vital that our pilots have this new capability for these wars and 
also in training.

support of Air Force space launch operations as well as providing a 
wartime surge capability for the 45th Operations Group, 45th Space Wing 
at Patrick AFB, Florida. MRST is GPS-based mobile range safety system 
which offers an advanced capability, increased flexibility and cost 
savings to support range operations. For instance, the 114th ROS 
provides a mobile range tracking and command truck that can track and 
if necessary destroy errant ballistic missiles on firing range 
facilities. Providing this mobile capability will reduce costs by 
replacing the need to build permanent fixed sights at each missile 
range.
