PMA 271 Industry Day Capt. Bob Roof
TACAMO: TAKE CHARGE AND MOVE OUT
| Good morning/afternoon/evening. | |
| My name is . I am the _________________________________. | The purpose of this briefing is to give you an overview of the TACAMO mission, our history, and our interactions with the Air Force at Tinker. Please feel free to ask questions as we go along. |
| Our mission name - TACAMO - is an acronym for Take Charge and Move Out. It is the name given to us over 30 years ago, when the first Polaris nuclear submarine deployed with submarine launched ballistic missiles aboard. The Polaris submarine fleet’s weak point was surety of command and control. A survivable and reliable long range command and control link was created in the airborne TACAMO force. |
Mission Survivable NC2 “ Thin Line”

| Survivable and endurable command, control, and communications in support of the President, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and United States Strategic Command. |

| With the transition to the new airframe and the demise of the Soviet Union, TACAMO took on responsibility for delivering control orders to the Air Force bombers and ICBMs. |
| In October of 1998, with a modified E-6 aircraft, we assumed the Airborne Command Post mission . |
| Of significance is that all of the principle missions provided by the previous 59-airplane system have been assumed by the current aircraft. |

Survivable NC2 “ Thin Line” Each aircraft represents one line of Alert
| Before the demise of the Soviet Union, the Survivable Airborne Resources included the 14 lines of Air Force and Navy aircraft alert on the left. This robust airborne fleet composed of 59 aircraft, spanned the globe from the European theater to the pacific, with the two coastal TACAMO lines and the central ABNCP line flying 100% coverage. The benefit of all of these aircraft was multiple redundant communications paths for command and control, including HF, LF, VLF, UHF and SATCOM. |
| On the right we see the results of the consolidation effort begun in 1992. It has dramatically changed the composition of the airborne resources. Today we have a total of 20 aircraft covering the continental U.S.; 16 E-6’s belonging to the Navy and 4 E-4s supporting the NAOC mission. |
| As a result, we are single threaded. We are thin line by OSD design. The great redundancy of the past is now gone and the VLF, HF, SATCOM between TACAMO aircraft forces is what remains. |

Catastrophe Response E-6B+
The first mission change for the E-6, which is depicted in this slide, was simply a change in procedures. the next mission change occurred on 1 October 1998 when the E-6B assumed the missions assigned to the retiring EC-135 fleet.
The E-6 fleet will continue to perform its core VLF relay mission for the foreseeable future. the additional missions shown in the last column required significant hardware changes along with further changes in procedure.
A significant point represented by this slide is that what 55 aircraft did in the past, is now being accomplished by 16 E-6 aircraft. None of the principal missions provided by earlier survivable airborne resources has been eliminated, instead they will be assigned to these airborne platforms and the ground mobile alternate headquarters which are not depicted here.
In 2003 The E-6 ABNCP picked up the SLCS mission at the request of COMSTRAT.
The E-6B Mercury A Uniquely Configured Boeing 707 Aircraft EMP Hardened, Survivable, Endurable Aircraft
| Maximum Range | 5,500 nm | |
| Maximum Speed | 0.88 mach | |
| Cruise Speed | 442 KTAS | |
| Cruise Ceiling | 42,000 ft | |
| Endurance Un-refueled | 13.5 hrs | |
| Endurance Refueled | 72 hrs | |
| Crew Capacity w/Battlestaff | 23 |
| A few statistics about our aircraft. |
| The E-6 has 20% more wing and fuselage than older Boeing 707 aircraft. It is also the final aircraft model to roll off the 707 production line. |
| It is powered by four CFM 56 high bypass turbines, each of which delivers 24,000 pounds of thrust. The engines are also equipped with thrust reversers. |
| The E-6 is capable of crossing multiple oceans in a single flight as demonstrated when an E-6 flew non-stop from Hawaii to London in fifteen hours. |
| It has an unrefueled range of 6,000 nautical miles, an endurance of over 16 hours and a ceiling of 42,000 feet. With air refueling it can stay airborne for 72 hours. |

| The origins of the E-6 lies with the venerable C-130 which the community flew from 1965 to 1991. In 1985 Boeing began producing the E-6A using the 707 airframe and the communications suites from the EC-130. In 1994 Raytheon began modifying the E-6A to the E-6B by installing a solid-state VLF transmit system and a new Mission Computer System along with battle staff equipment from EC-135 “Looking Glass” aircraft. |
| In 2003 PMA-271 has provided a Modified Miniature Receive Terminal to provide a state of the art VLF receive system for the aircraft. Currently we have aircraft being modified at Cecil Field to provide an onboard LAN with up to T-1 capability to the aircraft. The modification will also install a glass cockpit to meet the ICAO standards. |
| PMA-271 is also working a SLAP/SLEP program to evaluate and extend the life of the aircraft and a Block I program to replace outdated communications equipment. |
