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 Family of Systems (FoS). The Department of Defense (DoD) has defined a DCGS architecture that will be 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) 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 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 (ISR&T) 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 current DIB standards and DI2E policy, facilitates interoperability and data sharing among the DCGS FoS. DCGS-N ensures compliance with the DoD DCGS network architecture. The Navy is establishing an ISR Enterprise way ahead that will emphasize a reach back strategy to provide intelligence products to support deployed ship and shore operations. The Navy will also migrate to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that requires the development, integration, and testing of a Maritime ISR Enterprise capability, development and migration of ISR SOA applications, and development and integration to leverage a Common Computing Environment (CCE) and the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise (IC ITE). Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N) will also become the focal point for migration of Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) fusion and analysis Maritime Fusion & Analysis (MFAS) tool applications for the Navy. Additionally, ISR systems will play key roles in enabling the national-to-tactical integration necessary for an integrated maritime targeting capability in support of kinetic and non-kinetic fires. Distributed Common Ground System-Navy (DCGS-N) Increment 2 addresses a critical shortfall in Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) capability and capacity to support operational, tactical planning, and execution across the full range of joint military operations. Existing TCPED shortfalls will be exacerbated by planned Navy, Joint, and Allied fielding of new Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms. Currently fielded systems provide localized processing capabilities that will be overwhelmed in future years without a significant change in the way the Navy processes, exploits and disseminates intelligence data. DCGS-N Increment 2 will deliver all source fusion and analytical capabilities; provide MDA capabilities and integrate TCPED capabilities to improve the use and analysis of sensor and platform data. DCGS-N Increment 2 will be based on an enterprise solution to share this information across commands, services, and agencies to promote shared situational awareness. DCGS-N Increment 2 consists of multiple 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); is compliant with the Common Computing Environment (CCE) and the IC ITE; federates ISR and TCPED workflow and production improving throughout the automation; exploits new and evolving unmanned systems sensor data; provides Multi-Intelligence (Multi-INT) cross-queuing and modular tools. The second release enhances afloat ISR capabilities by providing a set of software centric tools providing Multi-INT fusion and analysis, behavior prediction and intelligent knowledge management designed to operate in disconnected or denied communications environment. Follow-on releases will be developed based on Fleet requirements. In FY18, DCGS-N Increment 1 will continue supporting development, integration and regression testing required to align with emerging national imagery standards for tech refreshes and End-of-Life Upgrades. In FY18, DCGS-N Increment 2 will complete development of Fleet Capability Release 1 (FCR-1) which comprises the ashore backbone of the Navy's Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISR&T) enterprise and will contain enterprise data and analytics and synchronize the Common Intelligence Picture across the Fleet. This portion of the DCGS-N Increment 2 system will support future test events. At the conclusion of development of FCR-1 the program will conduct an In Progress Test Review and integrated test of the of the FCR-1 build including rigorous cyber security testing culminating in a Fielding Technical Review to support the FCR-1 Fielding Decision Review in FY19. The program will begin planning for FCR-2 including developing the Requirements Definition Package (RDP), preparing for the Build Technical Review, and Build Decision. DGCS-N Increment 2 will begin Passive Targeting Efforts leveraging Office of Naval Research (ONR) Electromagnetic Battle Management (EMBM) Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) to network and fuse passive targeting data.
