Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems

Abstract

As the sole joint interoperability certification agent, the Joint Interoperability Test Command established and maintains a Distributed Development and Test Enterprise for the Department of Defense (DoD) Distributed Common Ground/Surface System (DCGS) program, as directed by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Intelligence). DCGS is an integral and critical component of the overall DoD Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance interoperability and data integration strategy which provides world-wide capabilities to receive, process, exploit, and disseminate data from airborne and national reconnaissance sensors/platforms and commercial sources.
