LIGHT CONTINGENCY COMMUNICATIONS PACKAGE



Light Contingency Communications Package (LCCP). The LCCP consists of two basic elements--
  • One 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)X.
  • Two light contingency communications extension switches (LCCESs).

The main difference between the LCCES and the CCES is that the LCCES' equipment is dismountable.

A typical LCCP contingency mission (initial deployment) can be airlifted in two C-141B sorties. See Figures 3-17A, B, 3-18, and 3-19.

Light Communications Contingency Extension Switch (LCCES). This switch performs functions similar to the CCES in the CCP. The main differences between the LCCES and the CCES is that the LCCES' equipment is dismountable, unlike the CCES' equipment.

This subsystem differs considerably when compared to its counterpart the CCP. The major differences are that all the equipment is dismountable and the switch is a DES (essentially half a SEN switch); there are no shelters, and the only vehicle is the cargo vehicle and its trailer which are required to carry the dismounted equipment.
