C4I for the Warrior - Global Command and Control System: From Concept to Reality

Abstract

The C4I for the Warrior concept is committed to the challenge of meeting the warrior's quest for information needed to achieve victory for any mission, at any time and at any place. The C41 for the Warrior concept is the vision and a roadmap for providing such information support to the joint warfighter. A Midterm Phase goal of producing a global C4I system capable of generating and delivering the fused information needed for tactical command decisions is at hand. The Global Command and Control System (GCCS) is evolving to be the joint C4 system of C4 systems, interoperable through common paths and common switches, and for the first time providing the joint forces commander with a the picture of the battle space as earlier envisioned in the C4I for the Warrior concept. The brochure focuses on the GCCS, the support it is receiving from related C4I for the Warrior activities, and the progress being made in transforming the C4I for the Warrior vision into reality for today's and future warriors.
