Long Term Solution
Abstract
Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) LTS will replace the current NC3 Hybrid Solution which consists of Navy's Nova system and Air Forces's Strategic Authomated Command and Control System (SACCS), and will provide a worldwide, robust, non-survivable NC3 network for specialized messaging services to meet Nuclear Technical Performance Criteria (NTPC) requirements for Emergency Action Message (EAM) dissemination. The mission of the NC3 message service is to provide accurate and reliable delivery of time-crtical messages from the Executing Command Authority to nuclear forces and other authorized subscribers. NC3 LTS provides NC3 messaging sevices to the JS-approved NC2 subscribers and critical interfaces (~350). NC3 LTS will upgrade the current messaging service to Internet Protocol (IP) based service. This program is in Budget Activity 07, Operational System Development, because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) Long Term Solution (LTS) was a FY12 New Start, but was cancelled due to higher Air Force priorities.
