Support to DCGS Enterprise

Abstract

This Program Element funds the Imagery Processing effort which consists of the Virtual Imagery Processing Capability (VIP-C) program and associated Imagery Processing Research and Development. 1) The Imagery Processing effort develops the Virtual Imagery Processing Capability (VIP-C) within the DCGS architecture. The VIP-C provides end-to-end image processing to include raw data ingest, data format standardization to facilitate exploitation, secondary image processing, metadata conditioning, and image quality enhancements. Current efforts are focused on 1) ensuring new sensors being fielded and associated data types can be processed and 2) increasing investment in the Machine Assisted Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Exploitation (MAGE) capability. 2)The DCGS Enterprise Interoperability effort provides support to OUSD(I), AF DCGS and NATO interoperability efforts. This includes the development, testing, and implementation of international standards (to include NATO standardization agreements) to ensure joint, allied, and coalition interoperability. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY20 $0.00M and in FY21 $0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
