Common Ground
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the need for Common Ground functionality in FY 2009. The expected outcome is to have Joint or Coalition capability to interoperate on common ground geospatial data and C2 data and information and to have shared awareness to achieve unity of adaptive planning, execution and effects within C2 enclaves. Common Ground is built upon existing DoD net-centric data and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) standards and guidance, as well as international standards adopted by the US to address information exchange (i.e., Joint Consultation, Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model - JC3IEDM). Common Ground will enable: 1) the sharing of digital orders and plans across C2 systems, a reduction of errors and misunderstanding among distributed systems. All Common Ground capabilities will be incorporated as commercial software under a DoD Enterprise License currently available to over 200 Joint and Service Programs of Record (POR) through FY 2014 (Commercial Joint Mapping Tool Kit (CJMTK). Common Ground is a multi-year JCTD sponsored by USJFCOM. The US Army Engineering Research Development Command (ERDC) is the technical lead agency, the National Geospatial Agency functions as transition agent. The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) serves as technical experts and liaison between NATO’s systems and the US systems.
