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) and the High Performance Compute (HPC) Environment within the DCGS architecture. The VIP-C and HPC environment 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. It also covers a comprehensive plan to employ advanced technologies, automation, and augmentation at speed and scale to close the gap between image collection and actionable intelligence. Current efforts are focused on 1) ensuring new sensors being fielded and associated data types can be processed and normalized 2) improving the Machine Assisted Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Exploitation (MAGE) capability. 2)The DCGS Enterprise Interoperability and Cyber Defense efforts provide support to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (OUSD(I&S)), 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 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY21, 0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22, 1.00M is forecasted 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.
