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.
