		SECTION 02 OF 02
PRIMARY CONCERNS WHICH WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE CENTAF
STAFF.
H.	MISSION PLANNING.  WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT THE
ADDITIONAL "ELVIRA" VANS BE DEPLOYED AT THIS TIME.  THE
LIMITED NUMBER OF THREAT TYPES, EXPERIENCE WITH THE BACKUP
TEMPLATES VERSUS "ELVIRA" RESULTS, THE FACT THAT ALMOST ALL
ROUTES/TARGETS HAVE BEEN PREPLANNED, AND EXPECTED REDUCTION
IN THREAT DENSITY OVER TIME LEAD US TO THIS CONCLUSION.
ALSO, SINCE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH EWOS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO
RUN TWO VAN SETS ON A 24 HOUR BASIS, A SECOND "ELVIRA" WOULD
ONLY PROVIDE REDUNDANCY, NOT SPEED UP THE PLANNING PROCESS.
TO DATE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE DEPLOYED
VAN AND FEEL WE HAVE THE WRSK AND FIELD SERVICE REP
EXPERTISE TO HANDLE ANY ANTICIPATED FAILURE.  THE ONLY
CRITICAL COMPONENT TO THE VAN SET WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL
COMPUTER VAN.  OUR MISSION PLANNERS THINK THE NEW OSS
(OCIP (OPERATIONAL COMBAT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM) SUPPORT
SYSTEM) WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE SUBSTITUTE FOR SEVERAL
REASONS:
1.	THE OSS IS A ONE PALLET LOAD TRANSPORTABLE ON A C-

141 VERSUS A DEDICATED C-5 FOR A VAN SET.
2.	THE OSS IS MUCH FASTER THAN AN "ELVIRA" DOING SINGLE
TASKS (SUCH AS FORM 705 AND LOADING DTMS/EDTMS).
3.	THE OSS CAN BE COMPLETELY MAINTAINED BY THE LOCKHEED
AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL CURRENTLY DEPLOYED.
