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. In accordance with Army Command Post Computing Environment and Joint Command and Control objectives, GCCS-A will be re-architected away from a scalable process architecture based server - thick client architecture to a virtualized server - web client architecture hosted on Battle Command Common Services and Mission Command Workstation by Fiscal Year 2015. 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 Net Enabled Command Capability 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 by developing a virtualized server and web client based GCCS-A Global Lite-Army baseline ready for certification testing in Fiscal Year 2015. Fiscal Year 2015 funding supports certification testing of the GCCS-A Bridge Effort in conjunction with Common Operating Environment testing to ensure that GCCS-A Bridge Effort software is successfully configured as a virtual machine on Battle Command Common Services and is interoperable with Army and Joint Mission Command Systems.
