Presidential and National Voice Conferencing

Abstract

The Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC) Integrator project is a critical element of the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) System. PNVC integrator replaces the Survivable Emergency Conferencing Network (SECN) capability, and will provide anti-jam, anti-scintillation, survivable, and enduring voice communications via Milstar, Advanced EHF, and ESS satellite constellations for national and strategic users. There are several components being developed, procured and updated by other organizations that must be synchronized to expeditiously field this capability. The PNVC Integrator is responsible for end-to-end integration of these components, to include requirements traceability, end-to-end system testing, configuration and checkout activities, training and technical manuals, network transition support, identification of deficiencies in overall PNVC system capability, enterprise, and life cycle support for PNVC components. The AFPEO/SP approved entry into the acquisition life-cycle as a post MS-A Acquisition Category (ACAT) III Program of Record in January 2016. In March 2019 the AFPEO/NC3 declared the PNVC Integrator an ACAT II Program based on updated approved budget request. Starting in December 2018 PNVC Integrator became responsible for the funding requests of all program elements related to the Defense Information Systems and Agency (DISA) components of the PNVC System in accordance with FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, Sec. 1661. In October 2021, PNVC completed Milestone B/C.
