Global Command and Control System - AF
Abstract
The Global Command and Control System (GCCS) is the Joint Command and Control (C2) System of Record and the designated C2 migration system for the DOD. It is an integrated Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) system capable of supporting all echelons of the US military command structure. GCCS solves C4I interoperability problems between Service components by establishing a Common Core Operating Environment supporting net-centric objectives. The GCCS-Air Force program provides C2, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and operational information for the Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) and the Air and Space Operations Center-Weapon System (AOC-WS) for planning and execution, air space deconfliction, targeting, weaponeering and many other applications supporting air operational command and control, and fully supports the Aerospace Expeditionary Force (AEF) concept. The Air Force is responsible for integration of Air Force unique applications with the Common Core Operating Environment. Integration efforts are directed towards future aerospace C2 concepts supporting requirements for the AOC, including ISR, and intended to automate operational systems with an objective of providing the right people with the right information at the right time while reducing the overall footprint of the system. As they migrate to the GCCS Joint (GCCS-J) core environment, GCCS-AF will integrate applications into the WINx environment satisfying warfighter requirements for the Common Operational Picture (COP), Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN), Joint Targeting Toolbox (JTT), Logistics Feasibility Analysis Capability (LOGFAC), Deliberate Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segment (DCAPES) capabilities and other information assurance mechanisms. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. The GCCS-AF program is actively supporting planning for transition of functionality to DOD's emerging next generation joint C2 enabler. The GCCS-AF funding will be used to implement evolving Joint and Air Force GCCS functional capability as well as facilitate transition, development and delivery of functionality to DOD's next generation joint C2 enabler. This effort is Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because the program develops and implements software upgrades for integrating existing operational systems and computer networks that will eventually evolve to the DOD's next generation joint C2 enabler riding on the Global Information Grid. Due to an inadvertent error the Air Force requests a technical adjustment transferring $2.157M in FY2011 from PE 0303158F, R-1 Line No. 179 "Joint Command and Control Program (JC2)" to PE 0303150F, R-1 Line No. 178 "Global Command and Control System (GCCS)."
