Statement of Objectives

Secondary Crash Network (SCN) Upgrade

Lajes Field, Azores, Portugal

15 Feb 2023

1. Requirement description: Modernize Secondary Crash Network (SCN) to JITC approved system with a VoIP transition in accordance with DoD CIO network modernization and convergence plan to address issues and eliminate non-Internet Protocol technologies. SCN system is required by Air Traffic Control and Airfield Management as a communication system for the immediate notification of aircraft and base related emergency response (AFMAN 13- 204V2, 22 July 2020). Replace SCN that currently rely on copper cable infrastructure to a fiber-based VoIP architecture. The SCN will require activator/initiator console at the Airfield Management, with ring down/party line connectivity to Group Safety, CE Customer Service, Fire Department, Transient Alert and Alternate ECC.

2. Proposed Solution: Install a completely stand-alone telephone alerting system, with recording capability, as the SCN. Inter-site connectivity will be over the base fiber optic cable plant. The telephony solution must include a Master Conference software to support all the specifications necessary to control Lajes Field USAF SCN. Hardware and other communications servers must be included. The system must be completely independent, extremely reliable, impervious to power outages and Network vulnerabilities. The contractor will provide system documentation including final as-builts.

Key take aways:

- 7 endpoints (slave phones)

- 7 buildings

- Dark fiber between buildings provided by local communications

- System with audio recording capability

System functionality:

- All members conference calls are started by lifting the Master phone handset and pressing the ALL-CALL button and terminated by putting down the handset.

- Master phone can separately call each slave phone by pressing his respective button in the key module.

- Master phone displays information about all slave phones (ringing, active, not accessible) e.g., led (active, blinking, off).
