General Dynamics / Convair Launch Control Center

The LCC was and armored box that housed all the Command, Control and Communications. Weapons Control System and interfaces required for authorized launch of the 16 GLCM Missiles. The two Launch Officers in the LCC were environmentally protected from chemical, biological, and radiological attacks. The LCC was mounted on a transporter, which was towed by an all wheel drive MAN V10 diesel tractor. The LCC could travel over the highway or off road as necessary for dispersed operations. Each LCC interfaced directly with each TEL via fiber optic cables and has its own internal power generation system. Two LCCs were deployed with each flight to ensure survivability in and armed conflict. One LCC was designated as primary and the other backup during operations.
