Post - Attack Command and Control System The Post Attack Command and Control System ( PACCS ) was a network of communication sites ( both ground and airborne ) for use before , during and after a nuclear attack on the United States . PACCS was designed to ensure that National Command Authority would retain sole , exclusive , and complete control over US nuclear weapon s . Among other components , it included Strategic Air Command assets such as the Looking Glass aircraft and mission , and various hardened command and control facilities . The belief by the Soviet Union in the reliability of PACCS was a crucial component of the US mutual assured destruction doctrine , ensuring a long term stalemate . History . The Strategic Air Command headquarters staff , under the direction of General Thomas S . Power conducted the feasibility of placing a continuous command and control element in an airborne mode . The purpose of such a system would be to use the aircraft as a platform for specially installed communications equipment to insure delivery of command directives to SAC strike forces in the event ground - based headquarters were destroyed . The original plan envisioned an aircraft , crew , and command and control team on 15 - minute ground alert . This was later changed to a continuous airborne alert posture . The functions of this PACCS Airborne Command Post kept expanding until it became a true alternate command and control system , complete with force status monitoring , initiation or relay of launch / execution directives , a battle staff , communications to support an alternate CINCSAC , and limited capabilities to reconstitute and replan residual resources . PACCS , in later variants , included an Airborne Launch Control System ( ALCS ) capability , which provided an alternate means for execution message delivery to missile combat crew s and a back - up launch control center , forcing the Soviet Union to target each missile silo , rather than just the launch control centers to incapacitate the Minuteman force .

From this intelligence data , they prepare materials that describe in detail the features of strategic and tactical areas all over the world . Duties . The duties performed by ISs include : analyzing intelligence information ; identifying and producing intelligence from raw information ; assembling and analyzing multi - source operational intelligence ; preparing and presenting intelligence briefings ; preparing planning materials for photographic reconnaissance missions ; analyzing the results ; preparing reports ; preparing graphics , overlays and photo / map composites ; plotting imagery data using maps and charts ; providing input to and receive data from computerized intelligence systems ashore and afloat ; maintaining intelligence databases , libraries and files .
