NTCSS (Naval Tactical Command Spt Sys)

Abstract

The Naval Tactical Command Support System (NTCSS) is a multi-function program designed to provide standard tactical support information systems to various afloat and associated shore-based fleet activities. The mission is to provide the Navy and Marine Corps with an integrated, scalable system that supports the management of logistical information, personnel, material and funds required to maintain and operate ships, submarines, and aircraft. FY2011 funding supports the design, development, and testing of One NALCOMIS (Naval Aviation Logistics Command/Management Information System), which will consolidate organizational and depot level aviation maintenance into a single system. This will provide streamlined maintenance management for Navy and Marine Corps aviation. Funding also supports design, development, and migration of NTCSS into the Maritime Logistics Data Network concept of operations featuring multi-UIC (Unit Identification Code) which will provide a consolidated logistics management system by combining logistics data from multiple fleet operational platforms into a single database management system ashore with bi-directional replication and transactional capabilities. In conjunction with, and to better facilitate the development of One-NALCOMIS and multi-UIC, product improvements are planned to modernize the NTCSS system by migrating from a client-server based architecture to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and web-based services. This will align with the initiative to bring Navy systems into a common computing environment afloat, interface with Navy ERP ashore, and provide a more flexible system platform with greater responsiveness to security, information assurance, functional, and system requirements and with greater speed to capability.
