The primary emphasis for the funding is establishing foundational physical and digital infrastructure within the depot. The inaugural project on the hangar floor will involve establishing a high-speed fiber-optic network backbone throughout the main manufacturing facilities, followed by the implementation of a hybrid radio-frequency identification tracking system. These fundamental measures will provide CCAD with immediate oversight of its component inventory, eliminating search delays and optimizing the production floor.
