Faith Group provided cybersecurity consulting to repair and replace key building systems in two buildings at the Altus Air Force Base (AAFB) in Oklahoma. The objective of the cybersecurity consultation was to provide review, analysis, and reporting to the design team so the appropriate cybersecurity controls could be incorporated and would be in alignment with the UFC 4-010-06 – Cybersecurity of Facility-Related Control, AFGM2019-32-02 – Air Force Guidance Memorandum, and Civil Engineering Controls Systems Cybersecurity. The controls also align with all pertinent government associated, related, or mandatory requirements. As a result, Faith Group built three custom system specifications to suit Altus AFB and coordinated with multiple trades to include the MEP/FP team. The C-17 Aircrew Training Center systems for cybersecurity consulting included HVAC and fire systems, and Bldg. 285 included HVAC, fire suppression, fire alarm control panels, and advanced lighting.

Under a separate contract, Faith Group worked as part of the design team to provide comprehensive design services for telecommunications, security, and audiovisual systems as part of the renovation of Building 25, at Barnes Air Force Base in Massachusetts. Building 25 is  a 25,200-sf, two-story Squadron Operations facility, supporting the 104th Fighter Wing’s new F-35 mission. Scope included outside plant infrastructure, backbone and horizontal cabling, telecommunications room design, access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, public address, and audiovisual systems. The design met requirements of ICD/ICS 705, which are standards set in place to protect highly sensitive national security information within the United States Intelligence Community (IC). Additionally, the firm developed cybersecurity specifications in alignment with UFC 4-010-06 for Facility-Related Control Systems, ensuring a secure and resilient systems architecture.

Additionally, Faith Group provided design services and cybersecurity consulting as the Designer of Record for telecommunications, low voltage, and electronic security systems for the consolidated maintenance facility supporting the 147th Attack Wing (ATKW) at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base (JRB) in Houston, TX. The project includes a purpose-built, 70,000-square-foot high-bay maintenance facility featuring machine and maintenance shops, equipment storage, administrative offices, and dedicated security forces areas, including a secure vault, locker rooms, and additional office space. With an estimated construction cost of $50 million, the facility is designed to house and sustain the MQ-9 Reaper aircraft for the Texas Air National Guard. The MQ-9 Reaper, a remotely piloted aircraft, provides Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR), and air support for U.S. and Allied forces. Faith Group’s design ensures that personnel operate in a secure and resilient environment, with advanced technology systems that enable efficient maintenance and mission readiness of the MQ-9 Reaper squadron.
