In support of the Governor's Homeland Security Plan, 'Securing Arizona' the Department of Emergency & 1\.filitary Affairs, Office of Homeland Security and Department of Public Safety, are working together to help improve radio interoperability for our emergency responders throughout Arizona. As part of this effort, a new mobile communications vehicle is being built for each of the five state regions to help address radio communications interoperability statewide. The mobile solution provides the flexibility to locate to any incident immediately and support emergency responders with their communications needs. The vehicle is a custom built fiberglass wide-body van built on a 24' Ford E350 chassis with dual rear wheels, dual AC, and dual generators. The interior is designed with multiple workstations and work area to support field operations comfortably. The internal communications systems for each vehicle includes: ACU1000 (1) Raytheon JPS ACU-lOOO Intelligent Interconnect System w/(lO) DSP and (2) PSTN carashis radio interconnect products facilitate communications between two-way radios (HF, VHF and UHF) and various other media, such as other radios, Jandline telephone, cellular, and satellite. The ACU-lOOO Intelligent Interconnect System provides interoperability between multiple radio systems operating on different frequencies. This gives emergency responders the capability to 'patch' systems together to improve communications capabilities.
