Strategic Air Command was disestablished in the early 1990s.
Despite the command's inactivation, the SAC Automated Command and Control System[5] continued using that name for several years. The former SAC C2 system formed part of "USSTRATCOM Command and Control" (PE 0101316F)(except for the SACCS Data Processing System) .[6]
The USSTRATCOM SACCS was later redesignated Strategic Automated Command and Control System with the same acronym.
A Government Accountability Office report on aging and outdated "legacy systems" used by the federal government published in 2016 noted that the SACCS was one of the oldest federal IT investments, running on 1970s-era IBM Series/1 software and 8-inch floppy disks.[9] The report noted that the Department of Defense "plans to update its data storage solutions, port expansion processors, portable terminals, and desktop terminals by the end of fiscal year 2017."[9]
