Distributed Common Ground Sys
Abstract
The Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N) is the Navy's portion of the Under Secretary of Defense, Intelligence (USD (I)) DCGS-N Family of Systems (FoS). The Department of Defense (DoD) has defined a DCGS architecture that will be verifiably compatible and interoperable across all of the Services' Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems and operations. DCGS accesses and ingests data from space borne, airborne, subsurface, and surface ISR collection assets, intelligence databases and intelligence producers. This collected data is shared across a Joint enterprise using the DCGS Integration Backbone (DIB) and in time, the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise (DI2E) to enhance access and sharing of ISR information across Joint forces through the use of common enterprise standards and services. DCGS FoS supports Joint Task Force (JTF)-level and below combat operations with critical intelligence for battle management and information dominance across the full spectrum of operations, including peace, conflict, war, and Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). DCGS is a cooperative effort between the services, agencies, and DoD to provide systems capable of receiving, processing, exploiting, and disseminating data from airborne and national reconnaissance platforms. DCGS-N core components include the Analyst Work Station from the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) - Integrated Imagery and Intelligence (I3), Generic Area Limitation Environment (GALE) Lite Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), Common Geo-positioning Services (CGS), Image Product Library (IPL), Modernized Integrated Database (MIDB), Joint Concentrator Architecture (JCA) and Track Management Services. The DCGS-N system represents the integration of: 1) The processing and exploitation of tactical and Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT); 2) Precision target geopositioning, mensuration, and imagery dissemination capabilities; 3) Selected national IMINT requirements and processing capabilities from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA); and 4) Sharing of Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting and Command and Control information via DIB, DI2E, and Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) standards with a wide range of customers (e.g., Global Command and Control System - Maritime (GCCS-M)), Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS), and many others). The DCGS-N Enterprise Node (DEN), which incorporates DIB and DI2E standards, facilitates interoperability and data sharing among the DCGS FoS. DCGS-N will stay abreast of evolving requirements and ensure compliance with the DOD DCGS network architecture. The Navy is focusing on establishing an ISR Enterprise way ahead that will emphasize a reach back strategy with a focus on providing intelligence products to support deployed ship and shore operations. The Navy will also initiate migration to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that requires the development, integration, and testing of ISR Enterprise capability (Maritime Operations Centers (MOC) to MOC to afloat), development and migration of ISR SOA applications, and development and integration to leverage the Consolidated Afloat Network and Enterprise Services (CANES) strategy for a Common Computing Environment (CCE). Additionally, DCGS-N will become the focal point for migration of Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) fusion and analysis (MFAS) tool applications for the Navy. The Navy's Integrated Imagery and Intelligence Applications (I3 Apps) are an integrated set of applications designed to support analyst workflows and tactical intelligence processing, providing a useful integration framework to ensure joint intelligence interoperability across the GCCS and DCGS enterprise. Development of I3 Apps includes end to end intelligence analysis applications that leverage the MIDB and integration with NGA-provided digital map and imagery systems. I3 imagery applications provide for archiving, viewing and measurement of still and video images. The Navy's I3 effort is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP), managed by the Secretary of Defense through the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)). Joint Service Imagery Processing System - Navy (JSIPS-N) tech refresh and JSIPS-N Service Life Extension Program (JSLEP) upgrades provide shipboard digital imagery capability to receive, exploit, store, and disseminate imagery products based on national, theater, and tactical sensors. JSIPS-N service life extension is comprised of five subsystems: Joint Concentrator Architecture (JCA), Common Geo-positioning Service (CGS), Image Product Library (IPL), Imagery Exploitation Support System (IESS), and the Sharp Display System (SDS). JSIPS-N is the Navy's legacy imagery processing system. JSLEP will overcome JSIPS-N End-of-Life hardware challenges, software obsolescence, and improve systems reliability until DCGS-N fully replaces JSIPS-N ashore and afloat. DCGS-N Increment 2 will improve DCGS-N Increment 1 through the integration of multi-INT fusion and analytical capabilities; provide Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) capabilites; integrate Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) capabilities to improve the use and analysis of sensor and platform data; and share this information across commands, services, and agencies to promote shared situational awareness. DCGS-N Increment 2 consists of two releases. The first release provides an enhanced Navy ISR enterprise that converges and builds on the DCGS-N Increment 1 and Maritime Domain Awareness Enterprise Nodes; leverages the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise (DI2E) framework; federates ISR and Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (TCPED) workflow and production improving throughput through automation; exploits new and evolving sensors; provides Multi-INT cross-queuing and provides modulat tools accessible via a web browser. The second release enhances afloat ISR capabilities by providing a set of software centric tools hosted on the Consolidated Afloat Network and Enterprise Services (CANES) providing Multi-INT fusion and analysis, behavior prediction and intelligent knowledge management designed to operate in disconnected or denied comms environment. The FY13, DCGS-N Increment 1 effort will focus on completing its Development Testing and Operational Assessment (DT/OA) in preparation for the DCGS-N Block 2 Limited Deployment Decision (LDD) and Follow-On Test and Evaluation (FOT&E). The JSIPS-N/JSLEP Legacy capability will continue to be replaced by DCGS-N Increment 1. The FY13, DCGS-N Increment 2 effort begins with final preparation for a Build Decision at Milestone B (MS B). The Capability Development Document (CDD) is expected to complete Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) review, the Service Cost Position (SCP) will be established and the independent cost estimate completed. DCGS-N Increment 2 will have a Build Decision/MS B review which will approve the release of the Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) Request For Proposal (RFP) which will lead to a contract award in FY2014.
