RADIO EQUIPMENT
Description (continued):
2. AIR FORCE OFFICE OF SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS (AFOSI) TACTICAL RADIO SYSTEM: This program is responsible for
planning, acquisition, and implementation of AFOSI’s Land Mobile Radios (LMR) command-wide. AFOSI’s LMR equipment provides secure,
two-way communications between AFOSI personnel conducting counterintelligence and criminal investigative operations, protective service
operations, and surveillance detection operations in support of AF commanders and deployed DoD units at more than 170 world-wide locations.
The goal of the LMR program is to procure standardized equipment to maximize interoperability throughout the command. FY01-03 funding
procures portable LMR equipment with narrowband capability.
3. AIR COMBAT COMMAND (ACC) TRUNKED LAND MOBILE RADIO (LMR) SYSTEM: FY01 and FY03 funding purchases the
required land mobile radio (LMR) trunking systems that ACC bases use as a primary command and control system. These systems will be
severely limited and will negatively impact mission operations unless ACC completely changes out all existing LMR networks. ACC has
approved LMR trunking as the best technical solution. LMR trunking systems consist mainly of consoles, channel banks, repeaters, controllers,
modem racks and boards, and miscellaneous (installation, software, training). The National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) has assigned all bases their appropriate frequencies needed for LMR trunking. These frequencies expire at the end of
CY2002 if not used. Implementation will be phased with the installation of this infrastructure equipment. ACC must be narrow-band compliant
by CY05.
