NLCC Decision Support System

Abstract

Decision Support Service (DSS) directly supports the senior leader decision making calculus. Numerous studies, reviews and practical experience identified the need to create a decision making aid. These identified needs culminated in an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) that was validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC). DSS will improve situational awareness, aggregate strategic-level information, provide a common visual display, be resilient, and mobile. Several attempts to provide a DSS-like capability has been attempted over the years. These ad hoc attempts failed due to the lack of community buy-in and a structured acquisition methodology. Today, DSS has complete community buy-in and folding it under AFLCMC ensure rigorous acquisition processes will be followed. The program will use the accelerated acquisition process known as Section 804. USSTRATCOM is the logical home for DSS. Additionally AFLCMC's Command and Control Division (HBC) has extensive expertise in developing software and visualization tools for over 30 years and is co-located with USSTRATCOM. DSS is supported by WHMO, OSD, NLCC, and CJCS. The Service provider is the United States Air Force and the Functional Manager is Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC).
