Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS-N) Inc 2
Abstract
DCGS-N Inc 2 is the Navy Service component version of the DCGS Family of Systems (FoS) and is deployed on force level platforms and ashore nodes, delivering Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) capabilities to the warfighter. DCGS-N Inc 2 is also a critical component of the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) FoS, which is comprised of DCGS-N, Intelligence Carry-On Program (ICOP), Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), Tactical Edge Targeting (TET), and Remote Sensing Capability Development (RSCD). The Programs within the ISR FoS deliver a robust suite of complimentary ISR capabilities to the Navy and Marine Corps. DCGS-N afloat and ashore systems interface across other service DCGS and Intelligence Community (IC) architecture via the DCGS-N enterprise and ashore cloud node. DCGS-N will operate during peacetime, crisis, and war in afloat and shore-based operational configurations, sharing information and intelligence between the Navy, DoD, and IC. It will serve as a tactical gateway to share Navy-unique sensor data (e.g., MQ-25, RAQ-35, MQ-4, and P-8, etc.) across the IC. DCGS-N will enable users to identify, locate, and confirm threats and targets using the all-source data store, support Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment, battle management, target nomination, and execute collection planning and requests. The program will integrate this data with available Command and Control systems, weapons, combat, and Meteorological and Oceanographic forecast and sensor data. DCGS-N will provide situational awareness to the operational decision-maker. DCGS-N Inc 2 will decompose the validated Information Systems Capability Development Document (IS-CDD) requirements into six modular capability areas (CA) and implement agile development processes to incrementally deliver capability through the entire life cycle of the program. The decomposed requirements will be prioritized through the DCGS-N Requirements Governance Board (DRGB) and documented through the Capability Needs Statement (CNS) to scope DCGS-N Inc 2 development priorities and inform near-term programmatic planning. PMW 120 will incorporate user feedback at each iterative release (IR) through a robust requirements process characterized by annual Fleet User Symposiums and consistent action officer coordination. The DRGB Charter further describes the requirements process for DCGS-N Inc 2. Both near-term and long-term implementation will maximize use of government off-the-shelf (GOTS) and commercial software tools and standards. DCGS-N will implement an enduring Adopt-Buy-Create (ABC) methodology to identify and integrate mature GOTS and commercial items currently in use with the Defense Intelligence Security Enterprise, the DCGS FoS, broader IC Information Technology Enterprise, and existing Joint and Navy Science and Technology efforts. The program will employ an agile approach to requirements management, new software development, commercial items, GOTS integration, testing, and delivery of incremental functionality aligned to user priorities. Features will be completed within the financial resources allocated to the program, with less important features deferred and prioritized based on user requirements FY 2023 will focus on the continuation of software integration and improvements resulting in Iterative Releases (IR) that are ready for testing/fielding. Additionally, DCGS-N will leverage the development and integration of applications which deliver Over the Horizon Targeting (OTHT) and Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Counter-Intelligence (C5) ISR capabilities to the fleet.
