Global Command and Control System
Abstract
Global Command and Control System – Joint (GCCS-J) is a part of the GCCS Family of Systems (FoS). In response to Congressional direction (Section 247 of Fiscal Year 2010 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)), GCCS FoS will form the basis for the evolution of new command and control capabilities within the Department of Defense (DoD). While sustaining and synchronizing currently fielded systems, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) will modernize and enhance current capabilities to support both the DoD Components and Joint warfighter as a part of a synchronized, orchestrated DoD-wide effort that will transition the current GCCS FoS into a more agile, net-centric, services-oriented environment. The GCCS FoS will adopt and adapt to the on-going changes in the information technology acquisition process, as described in the March 2009 Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on DoD Policies and Procedures for the Acquisition of Information Technology (and as referenced in Section 804 of Fiscal Year 2010 NDAA), and be designed to include (a) early and continual involvement of the user; (b) multiple, rapidly executed increments or releases of capability; (c) early, successive prototyping to support an evolutionary approach; and (d) a modular, open-systems approach. As part of these changes, the GCCS FoS will take advantage of streamlined processes within the requirements community, such as the “IT Box”. GCCS-J will continue to provide critical command and control (C2) capability to the Commander-in-Chief, Secretary of Defense, National Military Command Center, Combatant Commands (COCOMs), Joint Force Commanders, and Service Component Commanders including superior battlespace awareness, which provides an integrated, near real-time picture of the battlespace necessary to conduct joint and multinational operations. GCCS-J continues to enhance information superiority and supports the operational concepts of full-dimensional protection and precision engagement. The Overseas Contingency Operations - GCCS-J Integrated Imagery and Intelligence (I3) provides software modifications to the GCCS-J I3/Common Operating Picture (COP) baseline in direct support of United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) War funding requirements. These software modifications require extensive coding and testing in order to effect their implementation. The requested Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding is critical to support DoD Transformation efforts in the area of Strategic and Operational Command and Control. If funding is not received, GCCS-J will not be able to leverage the investments the Department has made in a variety of programs and initiatives to bring them together in the context of a service oriented architecture. Insufficient funding hinders the ability to develop and field operational fixes, upgrades and modernization that could lead to system degradation and obsolescence. Adaptive Planning and Execution (APEX) is the DoD's replacement methodology for the adaptive planning capability previously provided by the Collaborative Force Analysis Sustainment and Transportation (CFAST) portal, constructing timely and agile war plans that achieve national security objectives.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Due to significant program delays, the Senate Armed Services Committee redirected funding towards PE 0303150K Global Command and Control System (GCCS-J) to enhance the Department's existing command control capability (NDAA Act for Fiscal Year 2010, Senate Armed Services Committee Report 111–35, July 2, 2009). The DoD did not estimate FY 2011 cost when the FY 2010 President’s Budget was prepared.
