| | Air Defense Communications Platform (ADCP) |
| | Primary Purpose | The Air Defense Communications Platform (ADCP) |
| | receives, processes, transmits, and distributes |
| | tactical data link information within the Marine |
| | Air-Ground Task Force and other services. |
| | Sub-Functions | An approved Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to |
| | the ADCP will commence in 3rd QTR FY01. Once the |
| | ECP is fielded, it will provide the MACS |
| | Commanders an option for the ADCP to either |
| | function as an ADCP or Modified ADCP. In the |
| | ADCP mode, the ADCP controls the JTIDS terminal |
| | and performs the standard primary |
| | mission/function of the ADCP. In the Modified |
| | ADCP mode, the ADCP interfaces to the AN/TYQ-23 |
| | V(4) via a Multi-Channel Interface Unit. This |
| | mode adds Fiber Optic Data and Voice link from |
| | the ADCP to the AN/TYQ-23V(4), and the AN/TYQ-23 |
| | V(4) controls the JTIDS terminal. |
| | Equipment Requirements | Consists of radio and computer equipment housed |
| | in a Lightweight Multipurpose Shelter, mounted on |
| | a heavy High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled |
| | Vehicle. ADCP tows a diesel generator for |
| | electric power. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | N/A |
| | Crypto Requirements | N/A |
| | Normal Locations | Marine Air Control Squadrons (MACS). |
| | Information Managed | The ADCP provides Tactical Ballistic Missile |
| | target data from the AN/TPS-59V(3) radar set to |
| | joint service units via the Joint Data Network. |
| | Products Created | N/A |
| | Lead Service/Contractor | United States Marine Corps |
| | Current Fielding Status | In 3rd Qtr FY01, the ADCP ECP to interface with |
| | the AN/TYQ-23V(4) will commence. Fielding of the |
| | ECP will be horizontally, and will be fielded at |
| | approximately the same time as the |
| | AN/TYQ-23V(4). During the fielding of the ECP, |
| | the ADCP software will be baselined. |
| | Known Problems | ADCP is not a modular design; pieces are not |
| | reusable by other systems. |
| | DIICOE Compliance Rating | Not compliant. |
