Joint Command and Control

Abstract

This effort contributes to the next generation of joint command and control (C2) capabilities for the Department of Defense (DOD). The GCCS program includes each of the Component GCCS programs (i.e., GCCS-AF FoS, GCCS-M, GCCS-J and GCCS-A), which are the current programs of record within each component. These GCCS programs will transition in response to a critical need for coordinated and integrated enhancements to joint C2 capabilities. The Air Force's contribution to joint C2 will be evolved from elements of the GCCS-Air Force Family of Systems (GCCS-AF FoS). GCCS-AF FoS consists of the following programs (each with their own program elements): TBMCS Force Level (TBMCS-FL), Joint Defensive Planner (JDP) - part of TBMCS-FL baseline program element, Joint Targeting Toolbox (JTT), GCCS-AF Infrastructure (GCCS-AF I), Deliberate Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segment (DCAPES) and the Joint Environmental Toolkit (JET). Leveraging the capabilities provided by the Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) program, joint C2 will accelerate the evolution towards a net-centric, web-based, open-system standards approach to providing C2 capabilities and services as the core of the DOD C2 enterprise architecture. The DOD's joint C2 architecture will deliver capabilities as stated in related Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated Capability Development Documents (CDD). This effort enhances the capabilities of the GCCS FoS and includes the migration of capabilities to a more modern, interoperable architecture. The technology development phase encompasses risk reduction activities and engineering analyses with system and architectural analyses. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. The requested RDT&E funding is critical to support Air Force net-centric transformation efforts in the areas of strategic and operational command and control. Funding supports acquisition activities related to joint C2 evolution. These activities include development, testing, integration, architecture and systems engineering, and transition planning in coordination and synchronization with DISA and the other Services. 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.
