CONTINGENCY COMMUNICATIONS PACKAGE

Contingency Communications Package (CCP). A CCP consists of four basic elements:
  • One contingency communications parent switch (CCPS) which combines the essential functions of the NC switch/LEN/NMF shelters and a RAU in a single FES shelter and an LOS(V)TRC-198; the FES supports 25 affiliated mobile subscribers.
  • Two contingency communications extension switches (CCESs), which include an FES and a dismounted LOS (DLOS).
  • One extra dismounted extension switch (DES), which is essentially an "unsheltered" SEN switch with half its capacity and an extra DLOS.
The FES interfaces with an SCC-2, the AN/TYC-39 message switch, the AN/TTC-39A and the AN/TTC-39D circuit switches, the NAI, and the DNI.

A typical CCP mission (initial deployment) can be airlifted in two C-141B sorties. See Figures 3-12A, B, C, 3- 13, and 3-14.
