Information Related Capabilities (IRC)
Abstract
Marine Civil Information Management System (MARCIMS) is a system of systems comprised of people, process and technology that operates in the full Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM) environment. It is a force multiplier for the commander that allows him to leverage the process of Planning, Collection, Consolidation, Analysis, Production, and sharing of civil information in order to support the visualization and understanding of the civil environment to the military commander's decision making process. Public Affairs System (PAS) provides the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) and the broader Marine Corps the capability to research, understand and affect the information environment. PA Marines and Systems enable commanders at all levels and across the range of military operations to engage domestic and foreign publics whose trust, confidence, and understanding are mission critical. The Public Affairs Systems (PAS) AAP identifies and fields materiel solutions required to research and plan communication initiatives, acquire still and video visual information, produce and disseminate communication products, and assess the effects of communication initiatives within the information environment. The program maintains an evolutionary approach to acquisitions, and leverages commercial industry-standard non-developmental items to provide the best value to the Marine Corps, while keeping PA Marines appropriately equipped to understand and affect the information environment. This effort supports research, testing, and evaluation of the Public Affairs Live Media Engagement System (PALMES) satellite transmission capability and testing of the Cloud environment. The combat Camera and Public Affairs MOSes modernized into the Communication Strategy and Operations (COMMSTRAT) MOS. The Occupational Field modernization resulted in an increase to structure, personnel, and capability to support concepts of employment in the Information Environment. Due to the OccField change, in FY23, the Combat Camera System (CCS) and Public Affairs Systems (PAS) Program of Record will modernize to Digital Media System (DMS). These increases and changes result in the demand for more equipment and capabilities to support both the legacy CCS and PAS programs as well as DMS. The Military Information Support Operations (MISO) Family of Systems (FoS), which consists of the Fly-Away Broadcast System (FABS), Next-Generation Loud Speaker (NGLS), Radio-In-A-Box (RIAB), and Marine Corps SOF Integration Node (MSIN), provides the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Commander the ability to plan, develop, deliver and assess messages and actions to influence select foreign groups and promote themes to change those groups' attitudes and reduce civilian interference, minimize collateral damage, and increase the population's support for MAGTF operations. The MISO was established in response to multiple Marine Requirements Oversight Council Memorandums, and the approval of a MISO Organizational and Operational (O&O) Concept, 16 June 2015. MISO capabilities are critical to the success of the MAGTF mission, enabling commanders to shape the information environment, counter enemy propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, and adversarial narratives. The Signature Management (SIGMAN) capability will support MAGTF Operations with a baseline capability to include blue-force electromagnetic signature monitoring, assessment and projection. SIGMAN will be utilized by the Marine Corps Information Operations Center (MCIOC) SIGMAN platoon to provide commanders the ability to understand their own forces electrometric signatures and the ability to disrupt or deceive adversary units. Prior to FY21, SIGMAN was funded within the Military Information Support Operations (MISO) Family of Systems (FoS) portfolio.
