Airfield Lighting Control System Upgrade (ALCMS), Fairchild AFB

The Airfield Lighting Control System Upgrade (ALCMS) at Fairchild Air Force Base is a modernization initiative aimed at transitioning the existing serial-based system to a modern IP-based ethernet architecture to enhance cybersecurity and align with Department of Defense and U.S. Air Force standards. The scope requires comprehensive upgrades to hardware and software, including replacement of core components such as Industrial Microbox CPUs running Windows 11 at the Air Traffic Control Tower and Vault nodes, deployment of managed fiber switches, ACE 3 Door Upgrade kits for 28 switchgear CCRs, and three ACE 3 I/O units for remote control sites. The system must achieve at least 80% compliance with STIG/SRG standards as of January 1, 2025, with locked-down switch ports, password-protected maintenance tools, and SHA-256 hash verification for configuration integrity. The work is strictly limited to the original manufacturer, ADB SAFEGATE, due to the proprietary nature of the ALCMS software, ensuring life-safety functionality is preserved. Performance must comply with FAA AC150/5345-56 specifications and relevant portions of DAFGM 2023-32-01, and includes four one-week on-site visits for installation, Factory Acceptance Testing, and System Acceptance Testing, alongside two one-hour training sessions for ATC personnel and one six-hour session for maintenance staff, plus delivery of operator manuals and as-installed drawings.
