Global Command and Control System

Abstract

The Global Command and Control System-Joint (GCCS-J) funds a Joint Command and Control (JC2) portfolio which includes: GCCS-J, Joint Planning and Execution Services (JPES), and JC2 Architecture. GCCS-J is the Department of Defense (DoD) JC2 system of record that provides critical joint warfighting C2 capabilities by presenting an integrated, near real-time picture of the battle space for planning and executing joint military and multinational operations. GCCS-J is focused on meeting emerging operational needs through sustainment and synchronization support to operational baselines (Global and Joint Operations Planning and Execution System). GCCS-J is used by all nine Combatant Commands at sites around the world, supporting joint and coalition operations. The Services rely heavily on GCCS-J components to reduce their command and control (C2) operational costs. Efforts are focused on completing the evolution of the current operational system into a modern C2 system capable of supporting joint needs across the Department. JPES is a portfolio of capabilities supporting joint policies, processes, procedures, and reporting structures. It is supported by communications and information technology used by the Joint Planning and Execution Community (JPEC). JPEC uses these capabilities to monitor the following activities: planning, execute mobilization, deployment, employment and sustainment, redeployment, and demobilization. At full maturity, the JPES capabilities will be integrated with other adaptive planning and execution systems to facilitate the rapid development and sustainment of plans and a seamless, dynamic transition to execution in a net-centric environment. The JPES portfolio of capabilities consists of a core set of infrastructure services referred to as the JPES Framework and a variety of mission applications to include Joint Force Projection and the Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager and eventually the capabilities that support the modernization of the JOPES Information Technology (IT) system. JC2 Architecture is a reference architecture that aligns closely to the DoD Information Enterprise Architecture. The JC2 Architecture describes architectural and operational concepts, technical constructs, and is a repository for valuable reference information relating to C2 standards and information security. It is the authoritative source of information and technical direction for the JC2 arena.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2012 decrease of -$9.335 was due to terminating two Joint Planning and Execution Services (JPES) applications (Integrated Gaming System (IGS) and Rapid TPFDD Builder (RTB). The FY 2014 increase of +$10.594 is due to a re-alignment from GCSS-J and MNIS for the Joint Operations Planning and Execution System (JOPES) modernization efforts and an increase in GCCS-J development to find and implement replacements for outdated legacy software tools.
