| | Joint Enhanced Core Communications System (JECCS) |
| | Primary Purpose | Provides a robust command and control capability |
| | for MEU, MEB, and MEF headquarters. Designed to |
| | replace portions of the JTF Enabler package, it |
| | provides the conduit for and access to DISA STEP |
| | site services, including NIPRNET/SIPRNET, DSN, |
| | AUTODIN/DMS, and VTC. After quickly establishing |
| | this "first-in" capability, it provides the |
| | initial connectivity requirements for a smaller |
| | force in advance of larger, follow-on forces. |
| | Sub-Functions | * Telephone: COTS commercial switch to support |
| | DSN/commercial connectivity, as well as provide |
| | ISDN access for the Secure Terminal Equipment |
| | (STE) which replaces the STU-III. COTS/GOTS |
| | tactical switch for at least 60 subscribers, |
| | supporting analog and digital tactical telephones |
| | and requisite COMSEC for tactical users. |
| | * Data: Tactical Data Network gateway |
| | functionality for NIPRNET/SIPRNET access. |
| | * Technical control: Integrated package of test |
| | equipment, two FCC-100s, and ATM switch for |
| | circuit configuration, monitoring, fault |
| | isolation, and restoration, as well as dynamic |
| | bandwidth management. |
| | * Transmission: Two AN/PSC-5s and one INMARSAT |
| | terminal for initial and immediate communication |
| | requirements. |
| | Equipment Requirements | All equipment is self-contained in one heavy |
| | HMMWV shelter. Requires additional support |
| | vehicles for towed generators. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | Requires GMF SATCOM transmission system for |
| | access to DISA STEP sites, as well as other |
| | UHF/SHF terrestrial multichannel systems for |
| | connectivity to other tactical units. Contains |
| | limited integral transmission capability (e.g., |
| | AN/PSC-5 and INMARSAT terminals). |
| | Crypto Requirements | Integrated KIV-7/KG-84 for data circuit |
| | encryption and KIV-19/KG-194 for trunk |
| | encryption. |
| | Normal Locations | JECCS will be fielded to Communication Battalions |
| | for MEF, MEB, and MEU support requirements. |
| | Information Managed | None. Provides conduit for various command and |
| | control as well as communications systems. |
| | Products Created | None. |
| | Lead Service/Contractor | MARCORSYSCOM/Lockheed Martin. |
| | Current Fielding Status | Awaiting approval of Purchase Description, |
| | although 8th and 9th Comm Bn's are planned to |
| | receive four systems each, two for 7th Comm, and |
| | one for 6th Comm. |
| | Known Problems | None. |
| | DIICOE Compliance Rating | Not rated. |
| | Point of Contact | Ms. Terry Conte, MARCORSYSCOM, DSN 278-0946, COMM |
| | (703) 784-0946. |
