Enhance Combat Forces flight missions by providing ATC Navigational Aids (NAVAIDS), Landing Systems, and Terminals capabilities for the safe, orderly, & expeditious launch and recovery of aircraft throughout delegated airspace in the US as well as host nation assigned airspace throughout the world.

Air traffic control (ATC) services must be provided in all weather conditions to military and civil aircraft. This mission is accomplished in two methods:

Fixed based facilities provide service worldwide Tactical equipment provides similar capabilities to support theater tactical combat operations and combat airspace management

Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems

(ATCALS)

Recent DoD Chief Information Officer mandate requires all voice communications to move from analog to digital Enhanced Terminal Voice Switch (ETVS) systems are approaching 30 years of service Current systems are not compatible with digital communication protocols Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues

FAA

US Air Force US Navy Cannot consistently meet or sustain Operational Availability (Ao) standards Background

Replace current Enhanced Terminal Voice Switch (Denro-ETVS) Commercial Non-developmental (NDI) Provide ground-to-air and ground-to-ground communication via digital voice over internet protocol Fixed Base Interface with General Dynamics ATC Radios and new FAA NAS Voice Recorder (NICE Systems) Tactical Interface with General Dynamics ATC Radios and PL-2000/DT Recorder Acquire Systems with State-of-the-Art Technology Provide commonality for fixed base and tactical systems worldwide Scalability to meet each base's unique capacity requirements Manufacturing, Site Surveys, and Installations included in one contract Cyber Security must meet DoD and AF Requirements
