Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems

Abstract

This program element is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP) that provides for the identification, development, and testing of the Distributed Common Ground/Surface System Special Operations Forces (DCGS-SOF). The mission tailored infrastructure interconnects the warfighter and sensor data to find and fix enemy combatants and/or terrorists. The DCGS-SOF program is a network-enabled, interoperable construct allowing continual, unimpeded sharing of intelligence data, information and services within SOF and between the Services, other national intelligence agencies, combatant commands and Multi-National partners in support of a Joint Task Force. It connects the SOF warfighter with essential intelligence information and provides situational awareness information to SOF leadership at all echelons. The primary functions of DCGS-SOF are to conduct processing, exploitation and dissemination (PED) for all SOF Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors, permit the collection of SOF data from collection sensors and intelligence databases, share across the DCGS Integration Backbone and provide timely, tailored, all-source, fused intelligence reporting to the SOF warfighter. This program will employ non-development commercial and government off-the-shelf hardware and software and will leverage from existing technology to the greatest degree possible.

• Change Summary Explanation: Funding: FY 2013: Net decrease of $0.031 million is due to sequestration reductions (-$0.621 million), congressional rescissions (-$0.010 million), and congressional add ($0.600 million). Sequestration Impacts: Delayed integration and test of DCGS-SOF new tools, data sources/stores and services for backend Command, Control, Communications, and Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) PED framework used to support 38.8 Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) orbits provided by SOF and Services and 24 PED lines provided by SOF. Specifically, delayed analyst access to and exploitation of 22 SOF enterprise data stores by 6 months. FY 2014: None. FY 2015: None. Schedule: None. Technical: None.
