Command & Control System Consolidated (CCSC)

Abstract

The Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) Command and Control System-Consolidated (CCS-C) system provides integrated launch and on-orbit command and control (C2) functionality, and backup operations at Schriever AFB and Vandenberg AFB, for MILSATCOM satellites as the legacy capability provided by the Air Force Satellite Control Network (PE 0305110F) has phased out according to plan. CCS-C uses modified commercial off the shelf hardware/software to control all emerging and legacy MILSATCOM systems including Milstar, Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS), Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS), and the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) system, at reduced operating and maintenance costs. CCS-C will also support the implementation of space situational awarness and new C2 training systems. FY11 funds provide required command and control capability to launch WGS and AEHF satellites. Funding is in Budget Activity 4, ACD&P, to support software development and activation of the CCS-C installation and test facility.
