SLC3S-A Standard Communications Package
Abstract
The Senior Leader Command, Control, and Communications System - Airborne (SLC3S-A) provides executive airborne communications supporting world-wide command and control capabilities to US government senior leaders (i.e., the President of the United States (POTUS); Vice President of the United States (VPOTUS); Secretary of Defense (SECDEF); Secretary of State (SECSTATE); Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS); Unified Combatant Commanders (COCOMs); and their staff as well as other government senior leaders). The SLC3S-A capabilities include secure and non-secure voice, data, and video connectivity into Defense Information System Network/Global Information Grid, Defense Switched Network, Defense Red Switch Network, Voice Over Secure Internet Protocol Networks, National Security Council's Crisis Management System, and commercial networks up to the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security classification level. These capabilities are used daily by the Senior Leaders to carry out their duties and responsibilities. Currently, each Air Force Very Important Person Special Airlift Mission (VIPSAM) aircraft is configured with its own unique communications suite. National Senior Leaders require 100% secure voice and data capability for all activities from general planning and strategy discussions to directing command decisions. The security, reliability, and availability of the SLC3S-A services determine America's victories or setbacks on the battlefield. The SLC3S-A Communications Program will standardize the back-end communications architecture and provide common capabilities and functionality. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program is in budget activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD), because it funds engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements.
