Distributed Common Ground System Army Increment 1 (DCGS-A Inc 1)

Abstract

Distributed Common Ground System Army (DCGS-A) is the Army Service component of the DoD DCGS Family of Systems and the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise. DCGS-A is the Army's primary system for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) tasking of sensors, posting of data, processing of information, and using intelligence information about threat, weather, and terrain at all echelons. DCGS-A provides the capabilities necessary for Commanders to access information, task organic sensors, and synchronize non-organic sensor assets with their organic assets. DCGS-A continuously acquires and synthesizes data from Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multi-national sources that permits the Modular Force to maintain an updated and accurate understanding of the operational environment. It facilitates rapid planning, execution, and synchronization of all warfighting functions, providing the capability to operate within the enemy's decision cycle.
