Aberdeen Proving Grounds C4ISR BRAC Program

Under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) directive, the Department of Defense invested more than $1.1 billion in construction at Aberdeen Proving Ground for the new Army Team Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) center. The C4ISR Team was transferred from Fort Monmouth, New Jersey to Aberdeen Proving Ground and the federal government hired more than 4,000 civilian employees during this transfer. The construction of the “C4ISR Center of Excellence” was implemented in five phases and is now a state-of-the-art research and technology campus that includes nine buildings and more than 1.6 million SF of new space. The facilities maximize green space, vistas and daylight, minimize site disturbance, and ‘interconnect’ with each other through connecting bridges. As a result, the C4ISR Center of Excellence is LEED silver certifiable.USACE hired MOCA Systems to provide professional services that support the entire program lifecycle including sustainable design and construction management. In addition, MOCA provided master integrated scheduling and logistic support to help support the complex movement of personnel between Fort Monmouth, Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Fort Lee.
 
In 2011, MOCA and USACE Philadelphia District were awarded the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Project Delivery Team of the Year Award for Merit for their work on the BRAC program at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. MOCA was presented with the award at the USACE Summer Senior Leaders Conference on August 1, 2011. The Project Delivery Team of the Year Award is awarded by HQ USACE annually to three Project Delivery Teams for accomplishments in support of USACE missions. Winning teams demonstrate synergy, integrated and coordinated management, teamwork, partnering, effective balancing of competing demands, applications of innovative technology and tools, and sharing of lessons learned.
