Global Combat Support System
Abstract
The Global Combat Support System-Joint (GCSS-J) is an information technology (IT) application that continues to transition to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to deliver joint logistics asset visibility to the warfighter. GCSS-J facilitates information interoperability across and between Combat Support and Command and Control functions. GCSS-J provides the IT capabilities required to move and sustain joint forces throughout the full spectrum of military operations. Combatant Command and Joint Task Force Commanders are the primary GCSS-J customers. GCSS-J provides asset visibility from disparate authoritative data sources to provide the warfighter an integrated picture of the battlespace. GCSS-J provides web-based capabilities in a net-centric environment to provide information to authorized users regardless of geographic location. Without GCSS-J, the warfighter will no longer have the ability to make critical, real-time decisions and dynamic access to authoritative, comprehensive Combat Support information for situational awareness will be lost. The warfighter will not have the tools necessary to provide the right personnel, equipment, supplies, and support, to the right place, at the right time, in the right quantities across the full spectrum of military operations. The joint logistics warfighter will be forced to return to swivel seat logistics; a return to the old model of accessing critical data from multiple stove-piped legacy system, requiring multiple user identifications and passwords. To view the battlespace, the warfighter will have to retrieve and separately compile information from the various databases – a very time consuming and inefficient task, impacting the fight. Utilizing the joint decision tools and reporting capability of GCSS-J results in the warfighter’s ability to access data from multiple sources within minutes rather than hours. This program supports the DISA Campaign Plan on Infrastructure, Security and Applications; Integration and Production; and Customer Requirements and Enterprise Services Management.
