GCCS-M Maritime Applications
Abstract
The Global Command and Control System Maritime (GCCS-M) system is the component of GCCS used in the afloat, ashore, and tactical/mobile maritime environments. GCCS-M meets the requirements of the tactical commander for a near real-time, fused common tactical picture with integrated intelligence services and databases. GCCS-M supports the Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Intelligence mission requirements of the Chief of Naval Operations, Fleet Commanders, Numbered Fleet Commanders, Officer in Tactical Command/Composite Warfare Commander, Type Commanders, Commander Submarine Operations Authority, Commander Task Force, Commander Amphibious Task Force, Commander Landing Force, Ship's Commanding Officer/Tactical Action Officer, and Joint Task Force Commanders, as well as other functional Maritime commanders. It also integrates both joint and service-unique Command and Control (C2) systems in order to support Joint task force and Navy afloat requirements. Efforts include design, integration, and test of Tactical Decision Aids, Navy status of Forces, mission planning and status update tools, and integration of GCCS-M baselines with weapons systems and Combat Direction Systems. These efforts will provide the strike group/force commanders with the information needed to enhance their war fighting capabilities. System scalability is addressed by developing modular capability and application sets that can be deployed based on the mission profile of a particular ship. Continuation of these efforts, especially in the area of undersea superiority, will significantly enhance tactical units' ability to perform precision engagements by consolidating the common operational, Tactical Data Link and undersea tactical pictures into a single comprehensive C2 picture, addressing the requirement of war fighters and significantly improving interoperability. GCCS-M continues a hardware transition to Common Computing Environments such as the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services along with a transition of capabilities into a Service Oriented Architecture. Currently, GCCS-M is a key system that is used to support real world operations afloat, ashore, and with tactical/mobile commanders. In fiscal year 2012, the program will test GCCS-M Increment 2 for group level ships and submarines. The program will continue integration efforts with other C2 / Command, Control, Communication and Computers systems within the Navy and Joint community, and will continue the development of maritime tactical command and control capabilities in support of fleet requirements.
