Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS-N) Inc 2

Abstract

Distributed Common Ground System-Navy (DCGS-N) Increment 2 addresses a critical shortfall in Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) capability and capacity to support operational, tactical planning, and execution across the full range of joint military operations. Existing TCPED shortfalls will be exacerbated by planned Navy, Joint, and Allied fielding of new ISR platforms. Currently fielded systems provide localized processing capabilities that will be overwhelmed in future years without a significant change in the way the Navy processes, exploits and disseminates intelligence data. DCGS-N Increment 2 will deliver all source fusion and analytical capabilities; provide Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) capabilities and integrate TCPED capabilities to improve the use and analysis of sensor and platform data. DCGS-N Increment 2 will be based on an enterprise solution to share this information across commands, services, and agencies to promote shared situational awareness. DCGS-N Increment 2 consists of multiple releases. The first release (Fleet Capability Release 1 (FCR-1)) provides an enhanced Navy ISR enterprise that converges and builds on the DCGS-N Increment 1 and MDA Enterprise Nodes; leverages the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise (DI2E); is compliant with the Common Computing Environment (CCE) and the Community Information Technology Enterprise (IC ITE); federates ISR and TCPED workflow and production improving throughout the automation; exploits new and evolving unmanned systems sensor data; provides Multi-Intelligence (Multi-INT) cross-queuing and modular tools. The second release (Fleet Capability Release 2 (FCR-2), enhances afloat ISR capabilities by providing a set of software centric tools providing Multi-INT fusion and analysis, behavior prediction and intelligent knowledge management designed to operate in disconnected or denied communications environment. Follow-on releases will be developed based on Fleet requirements. In FY19, DCGS-N Increment 2 will conduct the Fielding Technical Review and Fielding Decision Review of Fleet Capability Release 1 (FCR-1) which comprises the ashore backbone of the Navy's Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISR&T) enterprise and will contain enterprise data and analytics, and synchronize the Common Intelligence Picture across the Fleet. This portion of the DCGS-N Increment 2 system will support future test events. DCGS-N Increment 2 will complete integration of Fleet Capability Release 2 (FCR-2) which comprises the afloat nodes of the Navy's ISR&T enterprise. DCGS-N Increment 2 will conduct an In Progress Test Review and Integrated Test of the FCR-2 build including rigorous cyber security testing. DCGS-N Increment 2 will continue developing hardware specifications for Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E), and begin planning for Fleet Capability Release 3 (FCR-3) including developing the Requirements Definition Package (RDP), preparing for the Build Technical Review and Build Decision. DCGS-N Increment 2 will continue Passive Targeting Efforts leveraging Office of Naval Research (ONR) Electromagnetic Battle Management (EMBM) Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) to network and fuse passive targeting Data.
