Common Imagery Ground / Surface Systems
Abstract
DoD charged the AF with developing, upgrading and managing the Distributed Common Ground/Surface System (DCGS) Integration Backbone (DIB) for all the Services to provide common DCGS enterprise services and interoperability at the data level. The DIB is a set of enterprise standards and services that enable interoperability and component reuse. Using the DIB, the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS) upgrade will transform AF DCGS from its existing proprietary system to a net-centric service oriented architecture. The DCGS Family of Systems, including AF DCGS, was directed to migrate to a net-centric DoD Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) enterprise enabling the Services to operate and share intelligence products more effectively in a joint environment. All Services must pursue a common path based on common enterprise services consistent with the Department's net-centric vision, while maintaining flexibility to support the full range of warfighter missions. Also, all Services are mandated to incorporate DIB interoperability standards and commit to DIB architecture as the migration path to common DCGS enterprise services. The Distributed Common Ground Systems-Imagery (DCGS-I) Testbed is an integration and test environment, used by the Services and Agency DCGS program offices to conduct integration of DCGS components and test interoperability interfaces with new sensors, applications, and net centric operations. This testbed also supports the integration and testing of DoD DCGS components prior to introduction into the operational environment. Periodic upgrades ensure the Testbed stays current with DCGS standards and architecture. The AF-sponsored DIB System Program Office also participates in the development, testing, and implementation of international standards (to include NATO standardization agreements) to ensure joint, allied, and coalition interoperability.
