GSIN (Global Integrated Sensor Network)

Abstract

The mission of USSTRATCOM is to establish and provide full-spectrum, global strike, coordinated space and information operations capabilities to meet both deterrent and decisive national security objectives and to provide operational space support, integrated missile defense, Global Command Control Communications and Computers Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), and specialized planning expertise to the joint warfighter. This mission has been defined by the 2011 Unified Command Plan (UCP) change 1, the CJCS GSIN Planning Order (PLANORD) dated 06/1400Z Mar 10, the USSTRATCOM GSIN PLANORD dated 29/1943Z Jan 10 and a memorandum from the Senior Warfighter Forum (SWarF) to the VCJCS dated 13 October 2011 documenting data and information sharing deficiencies and recommendations to address them. GSIN directly supports this mission as it nets together selected systems and sensors, from tactical to strategic, including the Nation's most modern and capable assets, taking advantage of their larger numbers, improved algorithms, mobility and forward deployment to provide earlier cross-cueing and expanded decision space when every second counts. Using these traditionally stove-piped systems and sensors, GSIN enables the warfighter in several ways. First it will enable a User Defined Operating Picture (UDOP) to provide a single, unambiguous missile event picture allowing real-time senior collaboration for nuclear C2 and improved senior leader situational awareness (SA) for effective decision-making. Secondly, it will improve Space Situational Awareness (SSA) by tapping additional sensor capability. Finally, GSIN will dramatically improve the ingestion of non-traditional, but readily available non-US government and commercial data to the space catalog. GSIN establishes a unified schema integrating disparate Missile Warning/Missile Defense (MW/MD) data into a single exposed data set providing redundant MW/MD data to facilitate the rapid exchange of information across multiple missions and removes information ambiguity that delays time critical national C2 decision-making processes. GSIN enables existing sensors to provide data in net-centric formats consumable by other authorized systems and mission areas, thus reducing the need to acquire more sensors. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning, execution, and future program planning. 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.
