San Diego Network Operations Center to be Built at North Island Naval Air Station

The San Diego Network Operations Center, a facility that will house the Navy Marine Corps’ Intranet project, will be built in the Rear Adm. Grace Hopper Building at San Diego’s North Island Naval Air Station. Plano, Texas-based Electronic Data Services Corp. (EDS) is heading the multi-contractor project. EDS will locate its project headquarters, technology integration lab, and the Western help desk for the huge network in a 140,000-sf facility in San Diego. Carlsbad, Calif.-based Rancho Santa Fe Technology MCS is the remodeling contractor for the fast-track project that will replace 100 military wide area networks and their subordinate networks with a single, unified network.
