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. The GCSS-Army approved Capability Description Document (CDD) and Capability Production Document (CPD) require an enterprise approach to replace current logistics and maintenance Standard Army Management Information Systems (STAMIS) to include supply, maintenance, ammunition, aviation, and property book. 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-A must take critical steps towards integration and implementation of the next generation of Enterprise Business Systems capabilities. This effort will address the obsolescence of existing SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) logistics and financial management platforms that the vendor plans to sunset by FY 28. GCSS-A's modernization work sets the conditions for development of a converged, post-modern Defense Business System that streamlines and integrates the Army's core business functions. GCSS-A must identify redundant processes as candidates for business process re-engineering. Funding will support the 1) market research of Industry best practices, 2) Initiation of an Army Enterprise Development Environment to enable prototyping which reduces risk by aiding the requirements development. This environment includes: Cloud-hosted infrastructure, applications, and programs and tools, 3) government Program Management and Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) contractors needed to plan for and manage the initiation of the post-modern system implementation effort. GCSS-Army Increment 2 consists of three waves: Wave 1- Enterprise Aviation (EAVN); Wave 2- Business Intelligence/Business Warehouse (BI/BW); Wave 3- Army Prepositioned Stocks (APS). Increment 2 builds on the current foundation by providing auditable EAVN maintenance, enhanced BI/BW, and APS functional capabilities which will directly impact the speed at which a deploying unit can draw combat equipment. Waves 1 and 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. Wave 3 will sunset the Army War Reserve Deployment System (AWRDS) legacy system. The funds in the GCSS-Army Increment 1 Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) line are for building the software solution for disconnected supply, maintenance and accountability. The funds in FY 2020 are for critical change requests, coming from the warfighter and prioritized by the Combat Developer. In FY 2021, the Army will begin design, development and build of disconnected operations capability to support ground operations and will complete this effort in FY 2022. In FY 2020, the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) approved a change in technical approach for GCSS-Army Increment 2 due to unforeseen technical complexities identified by the vendor which would have significantly increased cost and schedule. The new technical approach will deliver capability in five capability drops for Waves 1 and 2 to be developed and deployed incrementally from FY 2020 thru FY 2023. FY 2022 funding will continue the GCSS-Army Enterprise Aviation development and deployment of the final three capability drops for Wave 1 and the third and fourth capability drops for Wave 2. During this timeframe GCSS-Army Enterprise Aviation will integrate the Aircraft Notebook (ACN) data into GCSS-Army via an interface with the Enterprise Aviation Middleware components. This integration of ACN with GCSS-Army will provide Warfighter level data to be populated into the Enterprise system that will provide Senior Leaders with a flight line view of Aviation assets as well as supports the data for Aviation reports through the Business Intelligence / Business Warehouse (BI/BW) application. The funding also supports trade studies, analysis and market research for SAP based ERP integration, consolidation and efficiencies.
