Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS-N) Inc 2
Abstract
The Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) is a cooperative effort between the services, agencies, and the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide systems capable of receiving, processing, exploiting, and disseminating data from airborne and national reconnaissance platforms. DCGS - Navy (DCGS-N) is the Navy instance of the Under Secretary of Defense, Intelligence (USD (I)) DCGS Family of Systems (FoS). The DoD has defined a DCGS architecture that will be compatible and interoperable across all of the Services Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems and operations to enable information sharing. The DCGS accesses and ingests data from space borne, airborne, subsurface, and surface ISR collection assets, intelligence databases and intelligence producers. DCGS FoS supports Joint Task Force (JTF)-level and below combat operations with critical intelligence for battle management and information dominance to maintain a tactical advantage over adversaries. DCGS-N fulfills a critical mission set Afloat and Ashore. DCGS-N processes and exploits tactical and Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), facilitates precision target geopositioning, mensuration, and imagery capabilities, integrates national IMINT requirements and processing capabilities from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and shares Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) and Command and Control information via enterprise repositories using Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) standards with a wide range of customers. The DCGS-N program conducts research and assessments of tactically relevant, emerging technologies for insertion to ensure superiority in the intelligence domain. The DCGS-N Enterprise Node (DEN), which incorporates current DCGS-N requirements, standards and policy, facilitates interoperability and data sharing among the DCGS FoS. DCGS-N complies with the DoD DCGS network architecture. DCGS-N Increment 2 will integrate emergent, transformational Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) technologies in order to streamline Sailor's analytical efforts and improve targeting solutions for the operator, optimizing and compressing the kill chain. DCGS-N Increment 2 will deliver all source fusion and analytical capabilities and integrate Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) capabilities to optimize the use and analysis of sensor and platform data. DCGS-N Increment 2 leverages enterprise solutions to share information across commands, services, and agencies to promote shared situational awareness. DCGS-N Increment 2 consists of multiple capability releases that iteratively build up over time and allow for ongoing fleet feedback as the software matures. Each Fleet Capability Release (FCR), enhances afloat ISR capabilities by providing a set of software centric tools to include Multi-INT fusion and analysis, behavior prediction and intelligent knowledge management designed to operate in disconnected or denied communications environment. DCGS-N Increment 2 will insert technology enhancements via incremental software upgrades. Continued development of follow-on releases/Capability Drops (CD's) will be based upon on prioritized Fleet requirements. DCGS-N Increment 2 will perform technical analyses and engineering efforts associated with implementation of technology to enable rapid introduction of mature, innovative products and technology to address obsolescence and end of support issues.
