Benham provided full A/E design services for a new 41,000 SF Satellite Control Facility with operations control center and SCIF areas to support the Air Force Satellite Control Node (HQ AFSPC) and Defense Satellite Control System (DSCS) missions. In addition, the new Satellite Control Facility required Protection Level 1 (PL-1) measures to include an Entry Control Facility, perimeter fencing with motion detectors, security camera monitoring systems, and vehicle barriers.
