  34. Interim Communication PlanningStanding COMSECONDFLT ESP • Ship’s Force will use current standard fleet processes for obtaining EHF resources. Within the COMSECONDFLT OPAREA, if using the standing COMSECONDFLT EHF Service Plan is prescribed, sites should follow the COMSECONDFLT procedures to obtain authorization to use this ESP. • If using the standing COMSECONDFLT ESP, the initial Commplans provided by SMEs can be used (delivered during post-SOVT OJT)** • For current VACAPES beam, use Commplan entitled “C2F VACAPES” • 512K TIP net, MDR CMD Voice, 9.6 MDU, 128K Dual Simplex Net • Applies to WASP, COLE or NCTAMS LANT • For current JAXOPAREA beam, use Commplan entitled “C2F JAXOA” • 256K TIP net, MDR CMD Voice, 9.6 MDU, 128K Dual Simplex Net • Applies to any NMT units in JAXOPAREA **Note: These plans may need to be updated whenever the Standing ESP changes

  35. Interim Communication PlanningNot using COMSECONDFLT ESP • Requests outside of the standing COMSECONDFLT ESP, sites will determine EHF requirements and submit appropriate Satellite Access Request (SAR) IAW ALSECONDFLT 023/09. • Upon receipt of the SAA and development of the associated ESP consistent with legacy ESP generation, PMW 170 SMEs will interface with COMSECONDFLT communication planners for file conversion. Updated image posted to CAS website • Site provides the SAA mission number for which the Commplan is desired and the SME will look up the SAA from SIPR websites. • NMT program will develop SAR and image file to support DT/IT/OT test activities
