BACKGROUND  AMD  DESCIQFTIGN:      The  Defense  Support  Program  (DSP) 
The   system  provides 
'to   our 
natio:ial   comma. xi  authorities  and   other  designated  users.      The  system  also   serves   these  mere   specific 
purposes: 
ground   stations,  receive,    process,    and   transmit   satellite  mission 
data.      The  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff  have  designated   the  following  organ!  rations  as  users  of  the  satellite 
data:      Continental  Air  Defense   (COwAD),    Aerospace  Defense  Command   (ADC),    Strategic  Air  Command   (SAC), 
National  Military  Command  Center  (IH4CC),    Atlantic  Command   (1.ANTC0M),    Pacific  Command   (PACOM),    Furrpean 
Command    (EIJRCOM). 
RELATED  ACTIVITIES: 
Defense  Satellite  Communications  System  (bSCS)   Phase   II,    331 10F,    will   provide  an  alt.* mat 
communications   route.  Advanced   Airborne  National   Command   Post   (AA[i"idp),    C/,7;:3P,    is  a   potential   '.;:•■. -r    .i'
