Abstract
The Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N) is the Navy's portion of the Department of Defense (DOD) DCGS effort. DOD has defined a DCGS architecture that will be verifiably compatible and interoperable across all of the services' Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems and operations. The DOD DCGS will process data from all ISR collection assets, intelligence databases and intelligence producers. This collected data will be shared across a joint enterprise using the DCGS Integration Backbone (DIB) to enhance interoperability of ISR information across joint forces through the use of common enterprise standards and services. It will support Joint Task Force (JTF)-level combat operations and support JTF commanders and below with critical intelligence for battle management and information dominance across the full spectrum of operations. DCGS is a cooperative effort among the services, agencies, and DOD to provide systems capable of receiving, processing, exploiting, and disseminating data from airborne and national reconnaissance platforms. DCGS is further subdivided into systems which process, exploit, and disseminate Measurements Analysis and Signatures Intelligence data, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) data, Multi-Intelligence Reconnaissance data, and Imagery data. The DCGS-N system represents the integration of: 1) The processing and exploitation of tactical and Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and SIGINT; 2) Precision target geopositioning, mensuration, and imagery dissemination capabilities; 3) Selected national IMINT requirements and processing capabilities from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency; and 4) Sharing of Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting and Command and Control information via DIB and Net-Centric Enterprise Services standards with a wide range of anticipated and unanticipated customers (e.g., Global Command and Control System - Maritime, GCCS-M). The DCGS-N Enterprise Node, which incorporates DCGS DIB standards, facilitates interoperability among the DOD DCGS Family of Systems. DCGS-N will stay abreast of evolving requirements and ensure compliance with the DOD DCGS network architecture. Engineering work is funded to migrate legacy Joint Fires Network/ Joint Services Imagery Processing System - Navy (JSIPS-N) capabilities to this network environment. The government is the integrator for the DCGS-N system. The Navy is focusing on establishing an ISR Enterprise way ahead that will emphasize a reach back strategy with a focus on Maritime Operations Center (MOC) activities providing intelligence products to support deployed ship and shore operations. The Navy will also initiate migration to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that requires the development, integration, and testing of ISR Enterprise capability (MOC to MOC to afloat), development and migration of ISR SOA applications, and development and integration to leverage the Integrated Shipboard Network System strategy for a Common Computing Environment (CCE). This effort has resulted in a realignment of the program, replacing the DCGS-N 1.1 with a redesigned, smaller, more maintainable, less expensive system that will eventually migrate to the CCE aboard ship and shift the focus of the program to producing SOA ISR applications. Additionally, DCGS-N will become the focal point for migration of Maritime Domain Awareness fusion and analysis tool applications for the Navy. As a result, the funding profile was modified to revise the procurement schedule, maintain the equipment support line, and focus on product improvement for migration to the CCE and support to fielded systems until replaced by DCGS-N systems. Integrated Imagery and Intelligence (I3) funding transitions into the DCGS-N PE 0305208N beginning in FY10 (funds were previously budgeted under the Tactical Command System budget PE 0604231N). The Navy's Integrated Imagery and Intelligence Applications (I3 Apps) are an integrated set of applications designed to support tactical intelligence processing and provide a useful integration framework to ensure joint intelligence interoperability across the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) and Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) enterprise. Development of I3 applications includes end to end intelligence analysis applications that leverage the Modernized Integrated Database and military integration with NGA-provided digital map and imagery systems. I3 imagery applications provide for archiving, viewing and measurement of still and video images. This effort is also continuing the transition to Commercial Off The Shelf hardware and software. The Navy's I3 effort is part of the Military Intelligence Program, managed by the Secretary of Defense through the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence. JSIPS-N tech refresh and service life extension upgrades will provide shipboard digital imagery architecture with the capability to receive, exploit, store, and disseminate imagery products based on national, theater, and tactical sensors. JSIPS-N service life extension is comprised of five subsystems: Joint Concentrator Architecture, Common Geopositioning Service, Image Product Library, Imagery Exploitation Support System, and the Sharp Display System. JSIPS-N is the Navy's cooperative imagery processing system component in DCGS-N. JSIPS-N service life extension will overcome obsolescence and improve systems reliability until DCGS-N fully replaces JSIPS-N ashore and afloat. The FY11 plan includes conducting various test events and test reviews for the DCGS-N Increment 1 Block 1 Early Adopter Engineering Change Proposal build. Increment 1 Block 2 requirements definition to incorporate collection management capabilities, Real-Time Regional Gateway (RTRG), software upgrades for new Navy sensors, and Moving Target Indicator (MTI) processor integration. Begin DCGS-N Increment 2 Analysis of Alternative (AoA), Capability Development Document development, and conduct cost analysis based on AoA findings. Continue to conduct I3 operational testing, begin new software development, and provide for the technical migration of standardized, linked intelligence data and imagery software tools and services from a platform-centric model to a SOA.
