Survivable Low Frequency Communications System The AN / FRC - 117 Survivable Low Frequency Communications System ( SLFCS ) was a communications system designed to be able to operate , albeit at low data transfer rate s , during and after a nuclear attack . The system used both Very Low Frequency ( VLF ) , and High Frequency radio bands . Mission . SLFCS was used for United States nuclear forces ' command and control communications for Emergency Action Message dissemination and force direction . Single channel , receive only capability was provided at ICBM launch control centers . The single channel operated between 14 kHz and 60 kHz to receive commands from remotely located Combat Operations Center – Transmit / Receive ( T / R ) sites ; this low frequency range is only slightly affected by nuclear blasts . SLFCS ' primary advantage was it would suffer minimal degradation as a result of nuclear detonations . It would be an alternate means of communication during and after detonations , providing a survivable command and control communications network for the Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) , the Joint Chiefs of Staff ( JCS ) , and North American Aerospace Defense Command ( NORAD ) . SLFCS would also relay signals from the Navy ' s LF / VLF systems . Locations . GREEN PINE Stations . The GREEN PINE communication system took messages broadcast over SLFCS and ' upconverted ' them to UHF messages for bombers headed north . There were a handful of GREEN PINE stations in the northern portions of Alaska and Canada . History . The first program ( 487L ) took six years from the time of the initial requirement to full operation . The second part ( 616A ) , which was basically a modification of an already operational system , took 10 years .
