Joint Command and Control Program (JC2)

Abstract

The Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) was the DoD’s command and control capability focused on providing the warfighter with the data and information needed to make timely, effective and informed decisions. The Department cancelled the Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) because it was at significant risk of not being able to deliver capabilities to meet validated warfighter requirements and was not able to meet its Initial Operational Capability within schedule. FY 2009 funds supported program development, testing, production, and activities to prepare for delivery, fielding and operations all aimed at conducting a September 2009 End-to-End (E2E) integration test event. These activities were specifically designed to improve the cost estimating process by gathering data on capability development activities, and the tasking to demonstrate technology maturity. FY 2010 funds are reduced from $49.047 million to $0.000 million based on congressional direction in the FY 2010 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that the Department merge the NECC and GCCS. As a result of the NDAA, the Department will terminate the NECC program in FY 2010 and move funding to PE 0303150K for the sustainment and synchronization of Global Command and Control Systems – Joint. FY 2011 funds are reduced from $163.001 million to $0.000 million based on congressional direction in the FY 2010 NDAA that the Department merge the NECC and GCCS. As a result of the NDAA, the Department will terminate the NECC program in FY 2010 and move funding to PE 0303150K for the sustainment and synchronization of Global Command and Control Systems – Joint.

Change Summary Explanation
The Department cancelled the Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) because it was at significant risk of not being able to deliver capabilities to meet validated warfighter requirements and was not able to meet its Initial Operational Capability within schedule. Instead, the Department will focus the Department's Joint Command and Control (C2) research and development efforts on consolidating the systems and technologies of the NECC program into the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Family of Systems. The approach will be an incremental, spiral approach to modernizing the GCCS Family of Systems, deploying modular, operationally useful, and tested capabilities while moving towards a net-centric, web-based, standards-based service oriented architecture. Additional plans will be prepared for review at the Materiel Development Decision supporting sustainment of the current Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Family of Systems (FoS) and achievement of an improved joint C2 capability. The DoD did not estimate FY 2011 cost when the FY 2010 President’s Budget was prepared.
