Deployable JT Command and Control
Abstract
Deployable Joint Command and Control (DJC2) is a Secretary of Defense (SecDef) and Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) priority DoD transformation initiative that is providing a standardized, integrated, rapidly deployable, modular, scaleable, and reconfigurable joint command and control capability to designated Geographic Combatant Commands (GCCs). DJC2 is the material solution to Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) that called for the development of Standing Joint Task Forces (JTFs) with a deployable C2 capability. DJC2 will ensure that Joint Force Commanders (JFCs) are equipped, as well as trained and organized, to carry out their C2 responsibilities. DJC2 provides GCCs and Joint Force Commanders a mission critical, integrated family of systems with which to plan, control, coordinate, execute, and assess operations. It is designed to deploy rapidly, set up within hours, and quickly provide necessary C2 mission and collaboration functionality across the full spectrum of JTF operations. The DJC2 program addresses both the Quadrennial Defense Review finding that a joint command and control architecture needs to be developed for standing JTFs at each of the GCCs and the need for a deployable Joint Command and Control System described in the Transformation Study Report presented to the Secretary of Defense, April, 2001. It integrates the requirements for and lessons learned from U.S. Central Command's deployable headquarters funded from the FY 2001 Emergency Supplemental Act for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States. DJC2 is supported by SecDef and CJCS. The JCS/Joint Requirement Oversight Council has approved the DJC2 Mission Needs Statement and Operational Requirements Document. DJC2 seeks to provide standing, and standardized, joint C2 systems that can be deployed by Regional Combatant Commanders (RCCs) or JTFs and the new Standing Joint Force Headquarters concept and doctrine being developed by Joint Forces Command in coordination with other RCCs and the Joint Staff, as tasked by DPG. RCC and JTF commanders will use a deployable joint command and control capability for day-to-day operations, as well as when deployed for training or contingency operations. The capability is intended for all levels of conflict and will be reconfigurable to meet specific RCC and JTF mission requirements. This capability must be interoperable with higher and adjacent echelons of command (to include coalition allies) as well as with supporting elements to include joint forces. DJC2 will utilize Global Command and Control System in its core suite of applications, ensuring interoperability with the worldwide-installed base of Global Command and Control System - Joint. The RDT&E line supports an evolutionary acquisition strategy. The intent of this strategy is to develop a system based upon a current understanding of joint requirements, rapidly field systems based upon those requirements, analyze operational utilization of the systems, and roll the results of the analysis into periodic upgrades of the systems to maintain currency and maximize operational effectiveness. Maximum use will be made of commercial technologies; technology insertion of each DJC2 suite will be made approximately every three years. The baseline configuration is based upon existing Science and Technology initiatives, Advanced Concepts Technology Demonstration Programs, programs of record, and fielded capabilities of the services and defense agencies, scaled to the Regional Combatant Commander level. Subsequent deliveries will include newly developed capabilities based on emergent, joint requirements and operational feedback from utilization of earlier delivered systems, as well as incorporation of new commercial technologies. FY11 funds development of increased efforts for systems engineering and integration, and DJC2 Test Bed.
