Global Combat Support System

Abstract

GCSS-Army Increment 1 gives combat forces a decisive edge by providing soldiers a seamless flow of timely, accurate, accessible, and secure logistics information to get combat power at the right place, at the right time. The GCSS-Army program is an information and communications technology investment that provides key enabling support to the transformation of the Army into a network-centric, knowledge-based future force. GCSS-Army implements best business practices to streamline supply, accountability, maintenance, distribution, and reporting procedures in support of the future force transition path of The Army Campaign Plan. GCSS-Army Increment 2 builds on the current foundation by providing auditable Army Enterprise Aviation maintenance, enhanced Business Intelligence/Business Warehouse (BI/BW) and Army Pre-Positioned Stock (APS) functional capabilities and will sunset legacy systems: the Aircraft Notebook and Army War Reserve Deployment System (AWRDS). Increment 2 will deliver greater efficiencies to Aviation Logistics warfighters and improved information flow and accuracy in real time to decision makers, helping them make better decisions faster on the battlefield. The APS capabilities directly impact the speed at which a deploying unit can draw combat equipment. The FY 2020 funding provides for the engineering, design, development, and integration of GCSS-Army Increment 2 into the Increment 1 baseline. It also supports critical change requests, coming from the warfighter and prioritized by the Combat Developer, for the baseline system. The FY 2021 funding provides for the continuation of engineering, design, development, integration, and testing of the GCSS-Army Increment 2. The funding also builds edge software for disconnected supply, maintenance and accountability, leveraging the Increment 2 architecture and revised technical approach approved in FY 2019. The FY 2021 funding also supports trade studies, analysis and market research for SAP based ERP integration, consolidation and efficiencies.

Change Summary Explanation
FY 2021 Increment 1 funding was increased above FY 2020 level to fund disconnected operations development. RDTE funds are needed for first year of a two year development effort to cover all design, development, test and evaluation efforts to develop a disconnected operations solution for GCSS-Army. GCSS-Army INC2- On 4 June 2019 the Army Acquisition Executive approved a modification in strategy to an SAP Agile Deployment Operations (ADO) technical solution which shifted RDTE requirements and fielding schedules, resulting in changes to funding requirements and plans to Wave 1 (Enterprise Aviation) in FY20 and FY21. This also affected plans for Wave 2 (Business Intelligence/Business Warehouse) and Wave 3 (Army Prepositioned Stock-APS).
