Common Imagery Ground / Surface Systems

Abstract

Program management consists of five ACAT III efforts: GEOINT Transformation, SIGINT Transformation, Multi-INT, Network Infrastructure Transformation, and DCGS Reference Imagery Transition (DRT) 1. GEOINT Transformation: Rapidly integrates new GEOINT capabilities, enables quick/seamless integration of new sensors, data types, sensor planning, and command and control (C2) capabilities and migrates GEOINT-specific applications into the open architecture framework. Leverages mission partner methods and tools to the maximum extent possible. 2. SIGINT Transformation: Rapidly integrates new SIGINT capabilities, enables quick/seamless integration of new sensors, data types, sensor planning, command and control (C2) capabilities and migrates SIGINT-specific applications into the open architecture framework. Leverages mission partner methods and tools to the maximum extent possible. 3. Multi-INT-1: Rapidly integrates new and updated enterprise applications, to include voice/video/chat communications, collaboration and situational awareness, multi-INT fusion, and data analytics capabilities into the open architecture framework. Also includes Intelligent Modeling and Predictive Analysis of Cyberspace Targeting (IMPACT) program, which develops concepts, Tactics/Techniques/Procedures (TTPs) and technologies for synchronizing ISR and non-kinetic capabilities. Addressees program office test and evaluation activities. 4. Network Infrastructure Transformation: Modernizes the AF DCGS infrastructure to a cyber-resilient, open, scalable, commercial-based, architecture, improving data ingest, transfer, and storage capabilities, collaboration, and content driven discovery. OA DCGS Platform as a Service, along with migration to a hub-based architecture and public cloud represents the AF DCGS hybrid cloud (mix of private on premise and public cloud) architecture. 5. *DRT: The Air Force DCGS Reference Imagery Transition (DRT) effort provides data ingest, transfer, and storage capabilities for NGA reference imagery data. NOTE: *No additional RDT&E or Investment Funding planned in FY20 or out-years; ACAT will be closed once the capability is installed at all sites. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
