Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS-MC)

Abstract

Distributed Common Ground/Surface System Marine Corps (DCGS-MC) is a Family of Systems (FoS) providing analysis and production within garrison and deployed Marine Corps organizations. DCGS-MC will comply with the Department of Defense (DoD) DCGS Enterprise interoperability and information sharing requirements by migrating select processing, exploitation, analysis, and production capabilities into a single, integrated, net-centric baseline within the Marine Corps Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Enterprise (MCISRE). This baseline will enable MCISRE analysts to deliver tactically focused, operational and strategic intelligence at the tactical edge throughout all phases of operations and will provide relevant, precise decision support for Joint Task Force (JTF), Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), and subordinate Marine units. The DoD DCGS Enterprise provides worldwide garrison, and forward projection of tactical ISR capabilities at the Joint Task Force (JTF) level and below. The DoD DCGS Enterprise enhances intelligence sharing within the Joint Services, the Intelligence Community, and Coalition Forces throughout all phases of operations. Each individual Military Service DCGS Program of Record provides unique and distinct capabilities to the overall DoD DCGS Enterprise. The DCGS-MC FoS currently consists of Enterprise DCGS Integration Backbone Services (EDS), Tactical Exploitation Group (TEG), Virtual Imagery Processing - Marine Corps (VIP-MC), and Topographic Production Capability (TPC). These capabilities will provide the USMC Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) analysts with the ability to process, disseminate, exploit, analyze, and produce intelligence for discoverability via EDS on the DCGS Integrated Backbone (DIB). Future enhancements will include All Source Fusion (ASF) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities. The specific content of each enhancement will be determined by an integrated assessment of user needs, technology readiness, risk mitigation, and affordability.
