AF NC3 WS – 3 Baselines

Operational Baseline (OB)• The “as-is” system

• Represents Warfighter/User

Implementation Baseline (IB)• The “to-be” system

• Current acquisition programs

• Funding & defined requirements

• Represents Acquisition

Target Baseline (TB)• Future “to-be” system

• Represents AF NC3 future needs

• No funding yet

All baselines support transition from ideation to reality,

driving roadmap to the future!

(LOS), general area alerting and personal alerting

capability as well as High Frequency (HF) Beyond Line

of Sight (BLOS) voice communications

Requirements: Accomplishing Inc 2 requirements

validation process

Customers: AFGSC, ACC, ANG, AFSPC, AMC, & AFRC,

USSTRATCOM, USAFE

Contractor(s): TBD (est. CA 1QFY19)

Quantities: 90 systems (~ 43 Fixed / 47 Transportable)

ACAT III

Description/Warfighter Benefits

Increment 1: EHF (USSTRATCOM rqmt for FOC by CY19)

Increment 2: HF/UHF/Aircrew Alerting

Increment 3: LF/VLF

UHF - High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP)

hardened - Survivable

HF – Not Survivable

Strategic

Replaces degraded/unsustainable legacy NC3 systems

System Capability

Common Very Low Frequency (VLF) Receiver (CVR) for

multiple nuclear mission platforms, including airborne and

ground assets.

Warfighter Benefits

Receive EAMs in a pre-, trans- and post-nuclear attack

Modern processing technology ensures ability to receive new interoperable waveforms as well as legacy modes of communication

VLF/LF provides survivable communication for Nuclear Command & Control Communications (NC3) Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) in a stressed environment

Replaces fielded VLF receivers with end-of-life issues & offers off-the-shelf VLF receive capability for new strategic platforms

Improves range, time-of-receipt, and interoperability while reducing supportability costs with commonality

Ensures common hardware and waveforms for all users
