Information Related Capabilities (IRC)
Abstract
Signature Management (SIGMAN): SIGMAN supports the goals of Force Design 2030 by providing tools that enable an expeditionary force to conduct distributed operations and produce mass effects while minimizing their own blue-force (friendly force) electromagnetic (EM) signature. This includes the capability to conduct blue-force signature assessment, blue-force signature planning, and advanced delivery of mass effects. SIGMAN is being developed in three increments. SIGMAN Increment I is the SIGMAN Visualization and Planning Tool (SVPT), which will provide commanders a display of their own force's EM signatures and the information needed to limit/mitigate their signatures. SIGMAN Increment II is the Multispectral Emitter-Light and SIGMAN III is the Multispectral Emitter-Heavy. Increments II and III will provide commanders the tools needed to mitigate blue-force signatures. Full development of SIGMAN capabilities is a key enabler to the Marine Littoral Regiment operating in contested signature environments where small maneuver elements must move, communicate, and survive while conducting Distributed Maritime Operations. SIGMAN provides the MLR the tools it needs to accurately assess and minimize its EM signature and greatly reduce the risk of detection and targeting. Digital Media Systems (DMS) (formerly Public Affairs Systems (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 MOSs 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 Occupational Field change, in FY 2023, 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. MCPC title for Public Affairs System changed to Digital Media Systems (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. 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.
