(U)Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems

Abstract

This is a Military Intelligence Program program element. Distributed Common Ground/Surface System Marine Corps (DCGS-MC) is integral to delivering decision advantage at the speed of operational relevance. In order to concentrate investments in an integrated architecture to improve enterprise alignment while delivering substantially better collective intelligence outcomes for the warfighter, our All-Source and SIGINT programs have been consolidated under the DCGS-MC portfolio. DCGS-MC provides core intelligence processing, analysis, production, and dissemination tools within garrison and deployed Marine Corps organizations. DCGS-MC complies with the Department of Defense (DoD) DCGS Enterprise interoperability and information sharing requirements by migrating select processing, exploitation, analysis, and production capabilities into a single, integrated, net-centric baseline within the Marine Corps Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Enterprise (MCISRE). Capabilities are provided via COTS servers, workstations, laptops, peripherals, and commercial and government software. Modernization and technology insertion efforts are focused on advanced capabilities such as cloud services and Artificial Intelligence/ Machine learning (AI/ML) to support operations in the information environment. Current programmatic efforts support a service-oriented architecture and migration to common hardware and software to take advantage of common computer administration functions, common training, and common cybersecurity procedures.

Change Summary Explanation
The increase of $14.432M between FY19 and FY20 is attributed to 1) the realignment of IAS and TCAC resources from PE 0206625M USMC Intelligence/Electronics Warfare Systems to the DCGS-MC portfolio and 2) increased Project Maven and Artificial Intelligence efforts to include integration, hardware/software accreditation to extend services to JWICS and other security domains/networks, and enabling reach back to Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED).
