GCCS-M Maritime Applications

Abstract

GCCS-M is the Maritime implementation of the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Family of Systems (FoS). It supports decision making at all echelons of command with a single, integrated, scalable C4I system that fuses, correlates, filters, maintains and displays location and attribute information on friendly, hostile and neutral land, sea and air forces, integrated with available intelligence and environmental information. It operates in near real-time and constantly updates unit positions and other situational awareness data. GCCS-M also records data in appropriate databases and maintains a history of changes to those records. System users can then use the data to construct relevant tactical pictures using maps, charts, topography overlays, oceanographic overlays, meteorological overlays, imagery, and all-source intelligence information coordinated into a Common Operational Picture that can be shared locally and with other sites. Navy commanders review and evaluate the general tactical situation, plan actions and operations, direct forces, synchronize tactical movements, and integrate force maneuver with firepower. The system operates in a variety of environments and supports joint, coalition, and allied forces. GCCS-M is implemented Afloat and at Ashore fixed command centers. In FY 2013, the program will complete the remaining tests of 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 planning efforts for the transition of development efforts to the Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) program in support of Fleet requirements. In FY2013 the Global Force Management - Data Initiative (GFM-DI) development will be included in the GCCS-M baseline.
