ARMY GLOBAL C2 SYSTEM

Abstract

Global Command and Control System-Army (GCCS-A): This project is the Army component of the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Family of Systems (FoS). GCCS-A provides automated command and control tools, including Force readiness, planning and movement, and situational awareness, for Army Strategic and Operational Theater commanders to enhance warfighter capabilities throughout the spectrum of conflict during Joint and combined operations in support of National Security. GCCS-A dramatically improves the Army's ability to analyze courses of action, develop and manage Army forces and execute war plans. GCCS-A links the GCCS-Joint Common Operating Picture with the Army Mission Command systems. GCCS-A will be modernized to meet evolving requirements to enterprise and web based architectures to enable secure and interopable applications to be rapidly developed and executed across a variety of computing environments. GCCS-A strategic tools for readiness reporting have been modernized and replaced with the Defense Readiness Reporting System - Army (DRRS-A), a suite of web based applications for Army Readiness, Force Registration and Force Projection. DRRS-A is currently implementing the Global Force Management Data Initiative (GFMD-I) for consumption of authoritative force structure data. Based on Congressional direction (Section 247 of Fiscal Year 2010 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)), the Secretary of Defense submitted reports to the congressional defense committees detailing the consolidation of the NECC system with the GCCS FoS. As part of that effort, it was determined that GCCS-A will be included in the modernization of the command and control systems within the DoD under the Joint C2 framework. While sustaining and synchronizing current fielded operations, the Army will modernize and enhance current capabilities to support both the Service and Joint warfighters as part of a synchronized, orchestrated DoD wide effort that will transition the GCCS FoS into a more agile, net-centric, service oriented environment."
