Basis of Issue Plan - BOIP
A. DESCRIPTION: ACT-E (ANALYSIS & CONTROL TEAM-ENCLAVE),
COMPUTER SYSTEM, DIGITAL: AN/TYQ-103()/LIN Z99333 IS PART OF
THE FAMILY OF ALL SOURCE ANALYSIS SYSTEM (ASAS) EQUIPMENT.
ACT-E CONSISTS OF 2 ASAS BLOCK II REMOTE WORKSTATION (RWS)
VARIANTS/AN/TYQ-93 (SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN CONFIGURATION FROM
RWS/Z72392/M095AC), MOUNTED IN AN ASIOE LIGHTWEIGHT MULTIPURPOSE
SHELTER (LMS)/S788/LIN S01563, TRANSPORTED ON A HEAVY HMMWV/T07679.
THE WORKSTATIONS ARE COMMON HARDWARE/SOFTWARE 2(V)2, ULTRA 10
HIGH CAPACITY UNITS (HCU), COMPRISED OF A 20" DIGITAL MONITOR,
MASS STORAGE DEVICE, KEYBOARD, COMBAT NET RADIO, AND COMMS
PROCESSOR.
1. ACT-E IS SELF-CONTAINED AND RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE, PROCESSING
INTELLIGENCE TO PROVIDE DIVISION/BRIGADE COMMANDERS WITH NEAR-
REAL-TIME, CURRENT THREAT SITUATION AWARENESS. THIS ENABLES THE
COMMANDERS TO VIEW THE BATTLESPACE WITH MORE EFFECTIVE TACTICAL
WARNING AND FORCE PROJECTION TO CONDUCT THE LAND BATTLE.

2. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: LENGTH 102" x WIDTH 84" x
x HEIGHT 67", 332.21 CU FT FOR 1 ACT-E (INCLUDING 2 WORK-
STATIONS, MTD IN LMS SHELTER), AND WEIGHS 3,000 LBS.
B. CAPABILITIES: ACT-E PROVIDES INTELLIGENCE PROCESSING
CAPABILITY AT BRIGADE BY RAPIDLY PROCESSING LARGE VOLUMES OF
INTELLIGENCE AND SENSOR INFORMATION. ACT-E IS THEATER INDEPENDENT
AND DESIGNED TO OPERATE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF CONFLICT. ACT-E
IS THE NEXUS OF INTELL OPERATIONS, FULLY INTEGRATING AND NETWORKING
INFORMATION RECEIVED BY THE COMMON GROUND STATION (CGS/Z17435/BOIP
M091AA) AND UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV)(LIN/BOIP NOT YET ASSIGNED),
THROUGH THE ASAS/ACT-E WORKSTATIONS AND INTO THE ARMY'S BATTLEFIELD
COMMAND SYSTEMS (ABCS) OF THE BRIGADE.
C. EMPLOYMENT: IN THE ANALYSIS AND CONTROL TEAM (ACT), MI CO
(DS) AND HHOC, DIV XXI (CHD), REPLACING THE PREVIOUSLY DOCUMENTED
ASAS RWS (REMOTE WORKSTATIONS)/Z72392. IN THOSE A-EDITION TOES
WHICH HAVE NOT YET BEEN MODERNIZED TO THE ANALYSIS AND CONTROL
TEAM (ACT) CONFIGURATION, ACT-E WILL BE ASSIGNED TO THE ANALYSIS
TECH & CONTROL SECT.
D. BASIS OF ISSUE: 1 PER MI CO (DS), ANALYSIS & CONTROL TEAM (ACT)
(OR IN OLDER VERSION "A" TOE, THE ANALYSIS AND TECH CONTROL SECT)
OF LID/AA/ABN/HVY/DIV XXI(CHD); 1 PER HHOC, ACT, DIV XXI (CHD).
E. POWER REQUIREMENT:
1. VOLTAGE PHASE PREFERRED: 110V/220V 50-60HZ
ALTERNATE: 280DC
FREQUENCY PREFERRED: 50-60HZ, ALTERNATE: DC 400
POWER SOURCE: 10KW/60HZ GEN/G42170/PU-798 (ASIOE)
ALTERNATE POWER SOURCE: DTOC POWER GENERATOR/UNDER-HOOD POWER AND
10KW EMBEDDED COMPONENT LMS (SHELTER) GENERATOR.
START-UP KW: 8.000
RUNNING KW: 6.000
2. THE LMS (SHELTER) CONTAINS AN 18,000 BTU ENVIRONMENTAL
CONTROL UNIT (ECU) AND 10KW GENERATOR. UNDER-THE-HOOD POWER SOURCE
AND INVERTER SERVE AS ALTERNATE MEANS TO POWER THE MISSION EQUIPMENT
AND LIGHTS FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME. EXTERNAL CONNECTIVITY IS
PROVIDED SO THE SYSTEM CAN BE POWERED BY THE ASIOE 10KW GENERATOR OR
AN AUXILIARY POWER SOURCE.
F. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: EACH ACT-E REQUIRES 1
SHELTER-MTD HVY HMMWV/T07679/M1097. ACT-E IS C130, C141,
AND C5 TRANSPORTABLE.
G. OPERATOR/MAINTAINER PERSONNEL IMPACT:
1. OPERATORS: 2 INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS, MOS 96B. THESE
PERSONNEL MUST BE ORGANIC TO THE UNIT, AS NO PERSONNEL
PLUS-UPS ARE AUTHORIZED WITH ACT-E.
2. MAINTAINERS:
a) PRINCIPAL ITEM: MOS 33W/ELECTRONIC WARFARE
INTERCEPT SYSTEMS REPAIRER
b) ASIOE:
UL: 44B, 63B, 52D, 31U
DS: 43M, 44B, 52C, 52D, 63W, 35E
GS: 35H, 43M, 44B, 52C, 52D, 63W
3. MAINTENANCE CONCEPT: THE ACT-E MAINTENANCE SUPPORT
CONCEPT ENVISIONS THE FOLLOWING LEVELS OF SUPPORT:
a) CECOM SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CENTER (SEC) REPRESEN-
TATIVES WILL PROVIDE THE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT TO AN ACT-E OPERATOR
ENCOUNTERING SYSTEM PROBLEMS.
b) THE UNIT ELECTRONIC MAINTENANCE REPAIRER (MOS 33W)
WILL PROVIDE HARDWARE SUPPORT TO THE LINE-REPLACEABLE-UNIT(LRU)
LEVEL, AND GTE WILL PROVIDE HARDWARE MAINTENANCE DEPOT SUPPORT,
WHICH INCLUDES REPAIR OF ALL ITEMS.
c) STANDARD ARMY EQUIPMENT WILL BE SUPPORTED THROUGH
THE FOUR-LEVEL MAINTENANCE CONCEPT, IAW AR 750-1.
d) UNIT SOFTWARE SUPPORT: CECOM, SEC, INTELLIGENCE FUSION
SYSTEMS (IFS) FIELD SOFTWARE SERVICES SUPPORT (FSSS) PROVIDES LIFE
CYCLE SOFTWARE SPT (LCSS) FOR MISSION CRITICAL DEFENSE SYSTEMS
(MCDSS). FSSS (ILEX) PERSONNEL PERFORM SYSTEM AND SOFTWARE SUPPORT
TASKS NECESSARY TO PERMIT SUSTAINED COMPUTER PROCESSING OPERATIONS
IN GARRISON AND/OR DURING FIELD AND CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS OF MCDSS.
(1) FSSS IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THE U.S. ARMY'S LCSS
CONCEPT, TO INCLUDE ON-SITE, AS WELL AS REGIONAL SOFTWARE SUPPORT
ACTIVITY'S (RSSA'S), ALL MANAGED BY A CECOM SEC OPERATIONS CENTER
WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE SEC INTELLIGENCE FUSION SYSTEMS
ORGANIZATION AT FORT HUACHUCA, AZ.
(2) MCDSS' RELY HEAVILY ON DIRECT SOFTWARE SYSTEM SUPPORT.
THE MISSION CRITICAL INFORMATION RESIDING ON THESE SYSTEMS MAKES
PROBLEM RESOLUTION TIME SENSITIVE. SOFTWARE ANOMALIES MUST BE
RESOLVED, ON LOCATION, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. DIRECT REPLACEMENT
OR EVACUATION IS NOT A VALID MAINTENANCE OPTION. DEDICATED SUPPORT
ENGINEERS DEPLOY WITH THEIR SUPPORTED UNIT DURING EXERCISES AND
"REAL WORLD" MILITARY OPERATIONS. THEY PROVIDE THE TIME CRITICAL
SOFTWARE PROBLEM RESOLUTION REQUIRED BY MCDSS. RSSA PERSONNEL CAN
RAPIDLY DEPLOY TO SURGE SUPPORT EXERCISES AND "REAL WORLD"
MILITARY DEPLOYMENTS.
H. SPECIAL NOTES:
1. THIS BOIP ADDRESSES THE OBJECTIVE ACT-E CONFIGURATION.
ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION QTY OF ACT-E WERE PROCURED UNDER ACT-WRAP
(ANALYSIS AND CONTROL TEAM-WARFIGHTING RAPID ACQUISITION PROGRAM)
FUNDS, AND THEIR PROCUREMENT/FIELDING DID NOT CONFORM TO THE
NORMAL ACQUISITION CYCLE.
2. THOSE ASAS RWS/Z72392/M095AC WHICH WERE PREVIOUSLY
DOCUMENTED (QTY +2) IN THE ACT, MI BN, MI CO (DS), LID/ABN/AA/HVY/
DIV XXI(CHD) AND IN HHOC ACT, DIV XXI (CHD), HAVE BEEN DELETED
AND ARE, INSTEAD, NOW DOCUMENTED AS ACT-E/Z99333 WORKSTATIONS.
3. IN ACTS WITHIN DIV XXI(CHD): MI CO, HHOC/PARA 11/34386F000
AND MI CO (DS)/PARA 02/34387F000, THE STANDARD INTEGRATED COMMAND
POST SHELTER (SICPS), RIGID WALL/LIN Z97445/BOIP B005AA IS CURRENT-
LY DOCUMENTED AS THE SHELTER WHICH HOUSES THE ACT-E WORKSTATIONS
(IN LIEU OF THE ASIOE S788 RIG WALL SHELTER/LIN S01563). THIS IS
IAW BOIP B005AA AND PER AGREEMENT OF ALL PRINCIPALS AT THE 4TH
INF DIV DOCUMENTATION ASSISTANCE REVIEW TEAM (DART), SEPT 98.
