The system shall provide signals or messaging appropriate to Force Protection Conditions (FPCONS), terror threats, watches, warnings, evacuation routes, battle staff directives, recall and other alerting information to meet Federal, DoD, Air Force, ACC and wing/base specific warning and notification requirements. The emergency management system must ensure anyone connected via desktop, laptop, or any other networked device, would be notified within three minutes of an alert being sent out.. The system will be interoperable with telephony and the bases? local Giant Voice (Public Announcement) systems, allowing operators to disseminate and manage the entire alerting process to all delivery media using a single, net-centric notifications management application. The system must support a command-wide, centrally-hosted and centrally-maintained architecture with distributed permission-based access. The system shall be installed onsite, behind the NIPRNet firewall, and also shall have a net-centric architecture supporting USAF networking standards and network security requirements. Specifically, the system shall utilize web-base user interface, support USAF standard network ports and protocols, and provide open interfaces to support interoperability.
