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 - Battle Command Common Services (BCCS)/Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) and Mission Command Workstation. Fiscal Year 2018 Base funding in the amount of $0.316 million supports GCCS-A 4.3 software updates and Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) testing of the GCCS-A Bridge Effort in conjunction with Common Operating Environment. Certification testing ensures that GCCS-A Bridge Effort software is successfully configured as a virtual machine on BCCS/TSI and is interoperable with Army and Joint Mission Command Systems. Fiscal Year 2018 base funding in the amount of $5.712 million will support the Army’s capability for unit readiness reporting, unit registration and force planning and projection activities to enable Title 10 reporting to Congress. Specifically the funding will provide program and acquisition oversight, technical development and training support to enable the readiness and force projection capabilities.
