ITEM DESCRIPTION

The Very High Speed Integrated Circuitry Central Computer "Plus" (VHSIC CC+ or VCC+), PN 124A600-101, NSN: 1270-01-514-4336FX is used solely on the F-15C/D model aircraft. The VCC+ is a high-speed, stored program, general-purpose digital computer processor. It is designed to perform mission-oriented computations with data received from control panels and subsystems. The VCC+ has 1.5M words of bulk memory along with batteries for data retention. The VCC+ provides the warfighter with required computer processing power and throughput to run the F-15C/D operational flight program, which enables utilization of weapons, transfer of information along the busses, and provides status of related systems. The VCC+ also enables interfacing between the F-15's Radar, the Programmable Armament Control System, Air Data Computer and Air Data Processor.

The VCC+ must be repaired and conform to the requirements called out in the Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP). These procedures were developed and designed by Lockheed Martin.
