Global Command and Control System Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs

Abstract

The Global Command and Control System-Joint (GCCS-J) is the Joint C2 system of record and an essential component for successful implementation of the operational concepts of dominant maneuver, precision engagement, full-dimension protection, and focused logistics. It provides an integrated near real time picture of the battlespace to support joint and multinational operations on US and coalition networks.GCCS-J provides air, maritime, ground, space and cyber tracks for US, coalition, and enemy forces. It also provides applications for situational awareness, missile warning, intelligence, targeting, imagery exploitation, and applications for modeling chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) hazard areas and effects. GCCS-J is used by key decision makers at the strategic national, strategic theater, and operational levels. Additionally, GCCS-J is used by all nine combatant commands (COCOMs) at sites around the world, supporting joint and coalition operations. The GCCS Family of Systems (FoS) (i.e. the military services) use components of GCCS-J to build their Service unique variants. GCCS-J provides a Common Operational Picture (COP) with ground, air, maritime, cyber and space tracks for US, coalition, and enemy forces, and has many tactical decision aids and other applications for COP management and situational awareness. GCCS-J is also the system of record for Theater Missile Warning, and provides alerting and display for missile events. GCCS-J displays launch points, missile locations, threat fans, and projected impact points. GCCS-J has applications that provide intelligence support to C2 with national and tactical intelligence data from DIA's Modernized Integrated Database (MIDB), still and motion imagery, and other sources of intelligence. Targeting support is provided via the Joint Targeting Toolbox (JTT) application. GCCS-J also provides Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) support to C2 via the Joint Effects Model (JEM) and Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN) applications that model CBRN hazard areas/effects and receive/generate reports for warning affected areas. 1000+ GCCS-J instances can be found around the world (air, land and sea), on 30+ US and Coalition networks, and in 13 active Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases. The following Joint Staff instructions apply: CJCSI 3265.01A (Governance), CJCSI 6731.01C (Security), and CJCSI 3151.31D (Reporting) GCCS-J support the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) which is an approach to military decision making. JADC2 rapidly realize agile & resilient command and control (C2) across all-domains through integrated and synchronized capability development. JADC2 enabling capabilities will provide the ability to connect distributed sensors, intelligence, information, data, and effects from all domains to decision makers from the tactical to the strategic at the scale, tempo, and timing required to accomplish commander’s intent, agnostic to domains, platforms, or functional lanes.
