LGM-30G Launch Control Center Block Upgrade (LCCBU)

Abstract

The LCCBU program will address elements within the LCC that are experiencing supportability issues. The LCCBU program is an overarching modification effort that replaces LCC components. Components will be procured as a single modification kit and installed as a single kit at each LCC. It will consist of five primary replacement efforts: 1) Higher Authority Command/Rapid Message Processing Equipment (HAC/RMPE) Service Life Extension replaces the Journal Memory Loader with a modern data storage solution to increase available memory required to support annual software changes and mitigate Floppy Disk obsolescence concerns, 2) Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) replaces the legacy FDDs which are no longer manufactured with a modern, supportable hardware solution, 3) Voice Communications Control Panel (VCCP) Replacement replaces the current deficient equipment to provide the voice communications quality required to perform the ICBM mission, 4) Weapon System Console (WSC) Printer Replacement replaces current printer that is no longer produced and is unsupportable due to aging hardware and a lack of qualified vendors for replacement/repair components, and 5) Oxygen Regeneration Unit (ORU) replaces the current obsolete system to provide the crew with breathable air during periods when the LCC is locked down. All LCCBU efforts will support the 45 operational LCCs and additional support equipment/test/maintenance locations.
