ALL SOURCE ANALYSIS SYSTEM
Abstract
The All Source Analysis System (ASAS) provided US Army commanders at all echelons from battalion to Army Service Component Command (ASCC) with automated support to the management and planning, processing and analysis, and dissemination of intelligence, counterintelligence, and electronic warfare. ASAS provided the means to enhance the commander's timely and comprehensive understanding of enemy deployments, capabilities, and potential courses of action. The system used standard joint and Army protocols and message formats to interface with selected National, joint, theater, and tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems and preprocessors and Army, joint, and coalition battle command systems. The ASAS Family of Systems migrated into the Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) program and Army is using it as the initial platform to provide accelerated DCGS-A capabilities to the force. The Counterintelligence and Human Intelligence Automated Reporting and Collection Systems (CHARCS), formerly known as Counterintelligence and Human Intelligence (CI/HUMINT) Information Management System (CHIMS), provides the Army automation support for collection and reporting of CI/HUMINT data to satisfy tactical human intelligence requirements. CHARCS functionality provides support for CI/HUMINT information collection, reporting, investigation, interrogation, biometrics, and document exploitation operations. The CHARCS architecture extends from the individual Tactical HUMINT team soldier or CI agent to Theater and National intelligence organizations. CHARCS provides systems to all Army Commands (ARCOM), Special Forces, Reserves, National Guard, Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCT), and the training base. CHARCS systems produce and disseminate messages and reports through an array of communications systems including: combat Net Radio, Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS), Portable Radio Communications(PRC)-150 Secure Telephone Equipment (STE), Secure Telephone Unit (STU), satellite, and other organic communications devices. The CHARCS systems reports collected intelligence directly to Operational Management Teams (OMT) of U.S. Army intelligence units. Future development efforts will provide CI agents and HUMINT collectors improved collection, reporting, biometrics, language, communications and mission management capabilities. The Machine - Foreign Language Translation System (M-FLTS) program is to develop, acquire, field and sustain the warfighter with a basic automated foreign speech and text translation capability into Army systems of record, to augment and compliment limited human linguistic resources. These stand-alone and integrated automated translation capabilities will be applicable across three different system configurations; a hand-held/wearable portable device, a lap-top or mobile device, and in a networked system. The software modules will translate English into a prioritized listing of languages in a prioritized collection of domains. M-FLTS will be interoperable with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), or government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) automation equipment to include the Net Enabled Command Capability (NECC), the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS), Battle Command System (BCS), Soldier as a System (SaaS), Ground (GSS), Mounted (MSS) and Air-Soldier Systems (Air-SS), DoD Intelligence Information Systems (DoDIIS) and any associated devices and peripherals. FY 2011 funding continues the development of improved counterintelligence and human intelligence collection and reporting capabilities under CHARCS. FY 2011 funds development of Foreign Language Translation Systems. ASAS RDT&E funding discontinued after FY 2009.
