It identifies AFTAC office roles, coordination requirements, technical requirements, and procedures for implementing new or upgraded stations. It requires documented procedures, project and fielding plans, configuration management, and security controls.
Applies to: This publication does not apply to the United States Space Force (USSF), Air Force Reserve (AFR), and Air National Guard (ANG), except where noted.
AFTAC requires a systematic process for managing the addition and/or upgrade to seismic, infrasonic or hydroacoustic stations. (paragraph 1)
Each directorate and group involved in the acquisition, maintenance, and sustainment of a new station will develop, document, and coordinate specific procedures to perform their tasks effectively and efficiently. (paragraph 1)
Project Plans document the requirement analysis, project scope, steps to address integrated product support elements, cost, and risks. (paragraph 2)
The checklists at a minimum must identify tasks to be accomplished, assigned POCs, date to accomplish tasks, and status updates. (paragraph 2)
A dedicated AFTAC communication and control network exists. Intrasite communications between boreholes and the station is functional. Long haul connectivity between the station and AFTAC is functional. (paragraph 2)
