Facilities CAD-2

Intergraph was selected by the

U.S. Navy to provide computer- aided design and engineering (CAD/CAE) systems for architec- ture, engineering and construction (AEC), geographic information sys- tems (GIS) and facilities manage- ment applications. The award is a major component of the Navy's approximately $1.2 billion CAD-2 program for the acquisition of com- puter-aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) systems based on commercial, off- the-shelf technology. The Facilities

CAD-2 contract is the first oppor- tunity for federal buyers to imple- ment the concept of the The

Technical Desktop with Windows

NT, integrating technical and busi- ness applications in a single sys- tem, for maximum productivity and economy. The first CAD-2 con- tract, from the Naval Sea Systems

Command (NAVSEA), was award- ed to Intergraph in 1991. The most recent CAD-2 contract, from the

Naval Air Systems Command and

Space and Naval Warfare Systems

Command, was awarded in 1994.

An agreement with the Depart- ment of Defense enables all branches of the U.S. military to buy from Facilities CAD-2.

Civilian federal agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard, the

Department of Energy and the

Environmental Protection Agency also may buy from this contract.
