Global Combat Support Sys - Army

Abstract

GCSS-Army Increment 1 provides critical Army sustainment support to the soldier with a seamless flow of timely, accurate, accessible, and secure information management that gives combat forces a decisive edge and is essential for combat readiness. GCSS-Army implements best business practices to streamline supply, accountability, maintenance, distribution, and reporting procedures in support of the future force transition path of The Army Campaign Plan. GCSS-Army is financially compliant and is a key component for the Army Enterprise Strategy to be financially auditable. The FY 2021 funding builds edge software for disconnected supply, maintenance and accountability, leveraging the Increment 2 architecture and revised technical approach approved in FY 2019. The Army requires a single disconnected operations architecture for GCSS-Army to support the ground and aviation missions. Currently the Army has battlefield gaps without network connectivity: inability to maintain or regenerate combat power, order/process spare parts, track battle losses, or conduct maintenance. The disconnected operations architecture, using FY 2021 RDTE funding, will alleviate these problems when there are disruptions in communications or cyber-attacks. The FY 2019 and FY 2020 funding also supports critical change requests, coming from the warfighter and prioritized by the Combat Developer, for the baseline system.
