WWMCCS/GLOBAL COMMAND & CONTROL SYSTEM
Abstract
The Global Command and Control System (GCCS) is the Joint Command and Control (C2) System of Record and the designated C2 migration system for the DOD. It is an integrated Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) system capable of supporting all echelons of the US military command structure. GCCS solves C4I interoperability problems between Service components by establishing a Common Core Operating Environment supporting net-centric objectives. The GCCS-Air Force program provides C2, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), Cyber, and operational information for the Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) and the Air and Space Operations Center-Weapon System (AOC-WS) for planning and execution, air space deconfliction, targeting, weaponeering and many other applications supporting air operational command and control, and fully supports the Aerospace Expeditionary Force (AEF) concept. The Air Force is responsible for integration of Air Force unique applications with the Common Core Operating Environment. Integration efforts are directed towards future aerospace C2 concepts supporting requirements for the AOC, including ISR, and intended to automate operational systems with an objective of providing the right people with the right information at the right time while reducing the overall footprint of the system. As they migrate to the GCCS Joint (GCCS-J) core environment, GCCS-AF will integrate applications into the WINx environment satisfying warfighter requirements for the Common Operational Picture (COP), Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN), Joint Targeting Toolbox (JTT), Logistics Feasibility Analysis Capability (LOGFAC), Deliberate Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segment (DCAPES) capabilities and other information assurance mechanisms. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. The GCCS-AF program is actively supporting planning for transition of functionality to DOD's emerging next generation joint C2 enabler. The GCCS-AF funding will be used to implement evolving Joint and Air Force GCCS functional capability as well as facilitate transition, development and delivery of functionality to DOD's next generation joint C2 enabler. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

- Change Summary Explanation
- In FY 2010, $3.2M of 4667 Global Command and Control System - Air Force effort was transferred to PE 0604740F, Integrated Command and Control Applications (IC2A), 2524 Reuse and Component Support in accordance with Congressional intent. Base FY 20112 has additional funding to modify GCCS to consume authoritative force structure from Global Force Management - Data Initiative Organization Servers (GFM-DI Org Servers), linking the identifiers to or replacing current identifiers and, as applicable, exposing the data in a net-centric fashion.
