OMCFP connectivity will be canceled sometime in Apr 98. These C2 systems will be providing prepositioned air-crews at enroutes optimized flight plans to file with the Air Traffic Control of Federal Aviation Administration. ACFP will be moved to Scott AFB IL in the near future and the Government will require the connectivity to be relocated at that time. Connection to the following places currently is required: Andorra, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde, China, Colombia, Croatia, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Haiti, Iceland, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Latvia, Macau, Malawi, Malta, Martinique, N.

The government's system will carry the signal to the building housing the ACFP systems (VAX 7000 and VAX 4000 architecture with VMS operating systems). Once terminated within the facility, the vendor will provide and maintain any network equipment (i.e. concentrator or router) necessary to finish carrying the signal to the ACFP system. 7) Vendor will provide 24 hour/day, 7 day/week help desk for the 20 Government system administrators only, to answer questions concerning connectivity operations.
