Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems/S400A

Abstract

This program element provides for the identification, development, and testing of the Distributed Common Ground/Surface System (DCGS). This architecture interconnects the warfighter and sensors to “find and fix” terrorists and/or individuals. The program integrates tactical processing, exploitation, and dissemination data into the Special Operations Forces (SOF) information enterprise. The program develops and integrates SOF networks providing U. S. Special Operations Command with unique decision capabilities to include: measurement and signature data, sensor exploitation, data compressions and man-portable workstations. The program provides the supporting architecture to link the global sensor network to those who will interpret the data for rapid transmission to collaborative partners via the SOF information enterprise. The program will initially provide SOF with capabilities to conduct exploitation of full motion video from unmanned aerial vehicle assets organic to SOF. The program will integrate and implement the department-level system’s integration backbone standards and architecture on the SOF information enterprise, which will support net-centric data sharing between SOF fixed, tactical capabilities and sensors. This program will employ non-developmental commercial and government off-the-shelf hardware and software and will leverage from existing technology as much as possible.

• Change Summary Explanation: Funding: FY09: None. FY10: Net increase of $6.000 million due to Congressional Add for DCGS Capabilities Modernization and a decrease of -$0.031 million due to Section 8097 Congressional general reductions. Additionally, an increase of $0.325 million in FY 2010 Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funding to continue integration of processing exploitation and dissemination equipment. FY11: Increase of $1.290 million is due to the DoD not estimating FY 2011 cost when the FY 2010 President's Budget was prepared. Schedule: None. Technical: None.
