ARMY GLOBAL C2 SYSTEM
Abstract
Global Command and Control System-Army (GCCS-A): This project is the Army component system that directly supports the implementation of the Global Command and Control System Family of Systems (FoS). GCCS-A provides automated command and control tools for Army Strategic and Operational Theater Commanders to enhance warfighter capabilities throughout the spectrum of conflict during Joint and combined operations in support of the National Command Authority (NCA). The GCCS-A developed software systems dramatically improves the Army's ability to analyze courses of action; develop and manage Army Forces; and ensure feasibility of war plans. GCCS-A provides a client-server layered architecture and functional best-of-breed software applications to develop a totally integrated component of the Global Command and Control System FoS that integrates the GCCS-Joint picture with the Army Battle Command Systems. The GCCS-A strategic tools for readiness reporting have been modernized and replaced by Defense Readiness Reporting System-Army (DRRS-A), a suite of web based applications for Army Readiness, Force Registration and Force Projection. DRRS-A will implement the Global Force Management Data Initiative (GFM DI) for consumption and use of authoritative, standarized force structure data enabling machine-to-machine integration and transfer of data in the GFM process. GCCS-Army is a part of the GCCS Family of Systems. As such and responding to Congressional direction (Section 247 of Fiscal Year 2010 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)), it will form the basis for the evolution of new command and control capabilities within the Department of Defense (DoD). While sustaining and synchronizing currently fielded operations, the Army will modernize and enhance current capabilities to support both the Service and Joint warfighter as a part of a synchronized, orchestrated DoD-wide effort that will transition the current GCCS FoS into a more agile, net-centric, services-oriented environment. These efforts will take advantage of both streamlined processes within the requirements community, such as the "IT Box" and ongoing changes in the information technology acquisition process, as described in Ch 6 of the March 2009 Report of the Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on DoD Policies and Procedures for the Acquisition of Information Technology (Section 804 of Fiscal Year 2010 NDAA).
