Al,

NBI Upgrade:  The Armor backing plates have been ordered. A make or buy decision is being 
considered for armor structural supports. The Bay K weldment drawing approvals have started. 
TVPS drawings are complete and a Work Order for parts fabrication has been placed in the Tech 
Shop. Approximately 90% of the controls hardware requisitions have been prepared and 
approved. Cable removals on N4ABC LCCs have been completed. The NI controls chassis have 
been mechanically mounted in the LCCs. Management performed dry run reviews of the

on the OMA lids. 

Regards,

Tim
