The Air Traffic Control System Command Center ( ATCSCC) must issue a nuclear debris report as an ATCSCC numbered advisory if such report is received from AFTAC, DOE, or other U.S. The sponsoring agency will notify ATC facilities of the “SAMP” aerial sampling/surveying mission prior to departure.ĪTC facilities must report any issues associated with “SAMP” aerial sampling/surveying flights to the Domestic Events Network (DEN) Air Traffic Security Coordinator (ATSC). The purpose of those altitude and route changes is to permit direct contact with and sampling/surveying of the airborne contamination whose exact location and altitude distribution cannot be accurately predicted. Although sampler/survey aircraft are flight planned to the suspected area of airborne contamination, the aircraft are likely to require altitude and route changes which cannot be anticipated prior to departure. A planned aerial sampling/surveying schedule is established by the USAF. Government agencies will use aircraft with the “SAMP” call sign to perform aerial sampling/surveying of suspected foreign or domestic nuclear, chemical, or hazardous material contamination. The USAF Technical Application Center (AFTAC), Department of Energy (DOE), or other U.S. AERIAL SAMPLING/SURVEYING FOR AIRBORNE CONTAMINATION.They will operate principally during daylight hours and, although they will be made in VFR conditions insofar as possible, an instrument flight plan will be filed and IFR procedures followed. DOE contracts for civil pilots to operate public aircraft to transport radioactive and/or high explosive materials within the conterminous United States.
