MEMORANDUM FOR 355 OSS/OSAM
FROM: HQ AFFSA/AFETS
5316 Douglas Blvd Bldg 8400 Rm 232 Oklahoma City OK 73150
SUBJECT: Required Fiber Optic Transport Equipment Supporting Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATCALS)
1. Currently ATCALS is utilizing degraded copper connectivity and/or using legacy fiber optic transport equipment, commonly known as “channel banks” within our community. This transport equipment consistently fails, is well beyond its life cycle and is no longer logistically supported.
Due to the repeated interruptions to ATC operations, a standardized solution that can support all equipment in the ATCALS program portfolio is required.
2. Critical interruptions to ATC operations and maintenance include:
a. Failure to communicate with aircraft on approach, critically impacting safety of flight.
b. Loss of remote capability from regional maintenance centers affecting restoral efforts.
c. Extended/rescheduled flight inspections causing excessive fuel and travel costs.
d. Loss of equipment status of airfield navigation and landing systems to ATC controllers
(1) No status of ATCALS during low visibility and severe weather conditions
(2) Inability to switch runway navigation equipment during in-flight emergencies
3. HQ AFFSA is establishing a requirement to standardize the fiber optic transport equipment used to support the connectivity for ATCALS, to include:
a. Instrument Landing System (ILS)
b. Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN)
c. VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR)/Tactical Air Navigational System (VORTAC)
d. Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower
e. Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) facility
f. Ground Air Transmit Receive (GATR) site
g. Enhanced Terminal Voice Switch (ETVS)
4. After much research and fielding these units at several bases already, the TC8000 series fiber optic transport and TC3800 series JumboSwitch equipment manufactured by TC Communications provides the required solution. It meets all requirements for interconnectivity over fiber optics and postures our systems for eventual migration to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN).
5. Requirements include:
a. Manufactured and assembled in the USA
b. Meets TAA Compliance (Buy American Act)
c. Minimum five year warranty (up to 10 years available)
d. Technical Support
e. Training either on-site or factory
f. Reputable (over 20 years in business)
g. ISO 9001 certified
h. Modular, Interchangeable, Scalable and Expandable circuit cards
i. Industrial applicability (can operate in austere conditions)
j. Technology uses Radio over IP (ROIP) not Voice over IP (VOIP)
k. Audio is not compressed, 64 kbps per channel, up to 28 channels per chassis
l. Provides AC/DC power redundancy and supports international power requirements
m. Provides fiber path redundancy (failover) in a point-to-point configuration
n. Can be networked supporting a “self-healing” ring topology
6. TC Communications is the sole manufacturer of this equipment, however they are not the sole distributor. Any reseller or distributor can only buy the equipment through TC Communications.
Approved Distributors:
a. Noble Supply: Victor Harris vharris@noble.com 256-343-3747 or Brian Kuhar bkuhar@noble.com 843-607-7706

SUBJECT Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATCALS) Fiber Optic Transport Equipment Replacement
PURPOSE Mitigate risk of interruptions to ATC Operations and Maintenance
AUDIENCE All MAJCOM and subordinate wing RAWS personnel
EFFECTIVE DATE Immediately
BACKGROUND Currently utilized legacy fiber optic transport equipment, commonly referred to as “Channel Banks”, are beyond sustainable lifecycle and no longer logistically supported.
PROCEDURES As Wing/Unit funding allows or equipment malfunction necessitates replacement of legacy Fiber Optic transport equipment, HQ AFFSA has designated the TC8000 series Fiber Optic Transport and TC3800 series JumboSwitch equipment manufactured by TC Communications as the standard replacement platform for ATCALS. The chosen replacement meets all requirements for interconnectivity over fiber optic and postures our systems for future migration to the Defense Information Systems Network.
The Cyberspace Infrastructure Planning System (CIPS) should be utilized to procure funding for these projects. The use of the CIPS process will require the local Communications Squadron to take ownership and maintenance responsibility for the new fiber optic transport system.
Additional information on necessary equipment, cost estimations, example CIPS development worksheets, and approved equipment distributors may be found at the following link:
