Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems

Abstract

This Program Element is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). The Distributed Common Ground/Surface System Special Operations Forces (DCGS-SOF) is part of a family of systems providing rapid fielding of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Processing, Exploitation, Dissemination (PED), and analytical capabilities at the Combatant Commands (COCOM), Component/Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOC) level and below through a combination of reach back, forward support, and collaboration. The mission tailored infrastructure interconnects the warfighters, analysts, and sensors to find and fix high value targets and provides a network-enabled, interoperable construct allowing continual, unimpeded sharing of intelligence data, information and services with SOF and between the Services, national intelligence agencies, COCOMs, and multi-national partners. DCGS-SOF connects SOF warfighters and analysts with essential intelligence information and provides situational awareness information to SOF leadership at all echelons. The two components of DCGS-SOF are Enterprise/All Source Information Fusion (ENT/ASIF) and SOF Geospatial Intelligence Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (SGIP). ENT/ASIF provides infrastructure, processing, and intelligence analytical tools for worldwide SOF intelligence information sharing via a globally connected cloud based architecture as well as a forward disconnected capability. SGIP provides capabilities in garrison and deployed environments for the PED of crewed and uncrewed sensors.
