by the DCS. This includes the assets of the Defense Satellite
Communications System, except those portions that are specifically
excluded from the DCS.
c. Although the DISA specifies the interconnection and interface standards
when operated with DCS networks, the DCS does not include:

b. The mission of the NCS is to assist the President, the National
Security Council, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology
Policy, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget in:
(1) The exercise of the telecommunications functions and responsibilities
assigned in E.O. 12472 (reference (c)).
(2) The coordination of the planing for, and provision of, national
security emergency preparedness communications for the Federal Government
under all circumstances, including crisis or emergency, attack, recovery,

responsibilities. It also supports the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff in the exercise of his responsibilities.
8. Operational Test Agency (OTA). Separate and independent from the
material developing and/or procuring Agency and from the using Agency, the
major field OTA shall be responsible for planning and conducting
operational tests, reporting test results, and providing an evaluation of
the tested system's operational effectiveness and suitability directly to
the Agency's Director.
