Launch Control Center (LCC) Block Upgrade (LCCBU)
Abstract
The Launch Control Center (LCC) Block Upgrade (LCCBU) program will address several elements within the LCC that are experiencing supportability issues and impacting voice communications in the MM missile fields. The LCCBU program is a single modification effort that replaces five 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) Journal Memory Loader (JML) - replaces the JML with a modern data storage solution which will increase the 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) - replaces the current deficient equipment to provide the voice communications quality required to perform the ICBM mission and may require additional components to resolve voice communication degradations. 4) Weapon System Control Console (WSCC) Printer - replaces the current printer that is no longer produced and is unsupportable due to aging hardware and a lack of qualified vendors for replacement/repair components. 5) Oxygen Regeneration Unit (ORU) - replaces the current unsupportable 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.
