Common Imagery Ground / Surface Systems
Abstract
Program management consists of four ACAT III efforts: GEOINT Transformation, SIGINT Transformation, Multi-Intelligence, and Network Infrastructure Transformation. 1, GEOINT Transformation-1: Rapidly integrates new and updated GEOINT capabilities, enables quick/seamless integration of new sensors, data types, sensor planning, and command and control (C2) capabilities into the open architecture framework. Leverages mission partner methods and tools to the maximum extent possible. 2. SIGINT Transformation-1: Rapidly integrates new and updated SIGINT capabilities, enables quick/seamless integration of new sensors, data types, sensor planning, command and control (C2) capabilities into the open architecture framework. Leverages mission partner methods and tools to the maximum extent possible. 3. Multi-Intelligence-1: Rapidly integrates new and updated enterprise applications to include voice and chat communications, collaboration and situational awareness, Multi-INT fusion, and data analytics capabilities (to include Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning AI/ML, Automation and Augmentation (AAA)). Also includes the 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. Rapidly integrates new and updated data exchange and interoperability capabilities in support of USD(I&S)'s Common Data Fabric (CDF) Initiative. Addresses program office test and evaluation activities. 4. Network Infrastructure Transformation-1: Continues to update the AF DCGS network transport and open architecture infrastructure to a cyber-resilient, open, scalable, commercial-based, architecture, improving data ingest, transfer, and storage capabilities, collaboration, and content driven discovery. AF DCGS Platform as a Service (PaaS) consists of a mix of private on-premises and public commercial cloud architecture. AF DCGS leverages Unclassified, Secret and Top Secret Air Force commercial cloud environments. Network infrastructure transformation also handles integration of ground line of sight capabilities supporting ISR airborne platform assets. Starting in FY 2024, in order to comply with updated financial guidance for agile software development, funding was realigned from Other Procurement, Air Force (OPAF) funds to Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funds to better account for the program's software intensive focus. This is to comply with DoD FMR 700014 and DAFMAN 65-601V1 guidance for agile software development. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, and 0606398F. In FY22, $0.220M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY23, $0.501M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
