Basis of Issue Plan - BOIP
A. DESCRIPTION: ADVANCED ELECTRONIC PROCESSING DISSEMINATION
SYSTEM (AEPDS): AN/TSQ-134(V)4/LIN Z12802/BOIP M099AA IS A CORPS
& EAC PROCESSOR OF NATIONAL AND THEATER INTELLIGENCE. IT IS A
RESPONSIVE TACTICAL SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES RECEIPT, PROCESSING,
ANALYSIS & DISSEMINATION OF ELECTRONIC INTELLIGENCE AND
TARGETING DATA FROM MULTIPLE TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC SENSORS.
1. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: AEPDS IS COMPRISED OF 5
WORKSTATIONS. ONE, THE TENCAP CSP (COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT PRO-
CESSOR) WORKSTATION, IS PERMANENTLY INSTALLED IN THE COMPONENT
SHELTER. DIMENSIONS OF THE SHELTER ARE: 8FT W x 8FT 3IN H x
20FT L). THE SHELTER IS MOUNTED ON AN (ASIOE) XM871 22 1/2T
TRAILER/LIN S70027, AND IS PULLED BY AN ASIOE M915 TRACTOR/T61103.
UP TO 3 ADDITIONAL WORKSTATIONS MAY BE HOUSED IN THE AEPDS SHELTER.
A FOURTH WORKSTATION MAY BE REMOTED ANYWHERE WITHIN THE SCIF (SECRET
COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION FACILITY). IN ADDITION TO THE CSP WORK-
STATION, WHICH MAY OPERATE UNMANNED (I.E. NO DESIGNATED OPERATOR)
THE OTHER 4 WORKSTATIONS CONSIST OF:
2 ELECTRONIC TENCAP ANALYST POSITIONS (OPERATORS: MOS 98J)
1 IMAGERY ANALYST POSITION (OPERATOR: MOS 96D)
1 RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) MANAGEMENT POSITION (OPERATOR: MOS 98C)
BASIC WEIGHT OF AEPDS, TO INCLUDE SHELTER, RACK-MOUNTED EQUIP,
AIR CONDITIONERS, WORKSTATIONS, SUPPLIES, IS 19,626 LBS.
INCLUDING THE TRACTOR AND COMPONENT GENERATOR, THE TOTAL BASIC
WEIGHT IS 67,750 LBS. ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS SYSTEM WEIGHT IS
SITE 2, XVIII ABN CORPS, WHICH WILL UTILIZE A 40KW GENERATOR
(VICE 45KW), THUS REDUCING THE WEIGHT TO 67,170 LBS.

** NOTE: AS AN EXCEPTION, XVIII ABN CORPS WILL UTILIZE
A 40KW GENERATOR (VICE 45KW).
B. CAPABILITIES: AEPDS RECEIVES AND PROCESSES RAW DATA FROM
SELECTED NATIONAL SENSORS, STORES PROCESSED DATA, AND PRODUCES
INTELLIGENCE REPORTS AND IMAGERY PRODUCTS. IT IS A PREPRO-
CESSOR FOR ASAS (ALL SOURCE ANALYSIS SYSTEM/ICP M095/MULTIPLE
LINS), CGS (COMMON GROUND STATION/ICP M091/Z17435), AND DTSS
(DIGITAL TOPOGRAPHIC SUPPORT SYSTEM/ICP K058/LIN D11248) AND
IS INTEROPERABLE WITH ALL CORPS AND EAC COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
(I.E. UHF SATCOM VIA SUCCESS RADIOS; MSE & DSCS; AUTODIN (R/Y);
STU-III; TIBS; TOPS; TADIXS-B/TRAP; S-BAND SATCOM; LANDLINE;
SIPRNET; JWICS; CSP).
C. EMPLOYMENT: AEPDS IS ORGANIC TO THE ANALYSIS AND CONTROL
ELEMENT (ACE) OF THE CORPS MI BRIGADE AND THE EAC MI BRIGADE.
D. BASIS OF ISSUE: 1 PER MI BDE, CORPS; 1 PER MI BDE,
EAC (ECHELONS ABOVE CORPS); 1 PER USAIC&FH/W1E8AA FOR TRAINING.
E. POWER REQUIREMENTS: 120/208V, 60HZ, 3-PHASE, 5-WIRE. AEPDS'
PRIMARY ELECTRICAL POWER IS PROVIDED BY ITS COMPONENT NON-STANDARD
SILENT, 45KW DIESEL GENERATOR (COMPONENT 40KW GEN WHEN FIELDED
TO ABN CORPS).
F. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: REQUIRES 1 M915 TRACTOR/T61103
FOR MOVEMENT. AEPDS IS TRANSPORTABLE BY C-130 (PALLETIZED),
C-141 (PALLETIZED), C-5/C-17 (FIXED WING).
G. OPERATOR/MAINTAINER PERSONNEL IMPACTS:
1. OPERATORS: (BILLPAYERS ARE IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE
BOIP WITH THE DELETION/REDUCTION OF PERSONNEL WHICH
SUPPORTED THE EPDS/Z15773 AND ETUT/Z80487 SYSTEMS)
A. REQUIRES 9 OPERATOR PERSONNEL @ CORPS/8 @ EAC:
CORPS:
5 98J/ELINT (ELECTRONIC INTELLIGENCE) INTERCEPTOR/ANALYSTS
2 98C SIGINT (SIGNAL INTELLIGENCE) ANALYSTS
