GCSS-A Increment 2
Abstract
GCSS-Army Increment 1 gives combat forces a decisive edge by providing soldiers a seamless flow of timely, accurate, accessible, and secure logistics information to get combat power at the right place, at the right time. The GCSS-Army program is an information and communications technology investment that provides key enabling support to the transformation of the Army into a network-centric, knowledge-based future force. GCSS-Army implements best business practices to streamline supply, accountability, maintenance, distribution, and reporting procedures in support of the future force transition path of The Army Campaign Plan. GCSS-Army Increment 2 builds on the current foundation by providing auditable Army Enterprise Aviation maintenance, enhanced Business Intelligence/Business Warehouse (BI/BW) and Army Pre-Positioned Stock (APS) functional capabilities and will sunset legacy systems: the Aircraft Notebook and Army War Reserve Deployment System (AWRDS). Increment 2 will deliver greater efficiencies to Aviation Logistics warfighters and improve information flow and accuracy in real time to decision makers, helping them make better decisions faster on the battlefield. In FY 2019, the AAE approved a new technical approach for Enterprise Aviation, which will utilize a commercial disconnected architecture capability from SAP, called Agile Deployed Operations (ADO). ADO will allow the Army to extend the fully integrated Enterprise Aviation capability to a disconnected platform and will provide timely and accurate visibility and accountability of materiel down to the unit level. ADO developed under the Enterprise Aviation effort will also serve as the foundation for disconnected ground operations. Enterprise Aviation will replace a legacy standalone client server architecture and integrate its functionalities into an enterprise system. Implementation of the BI/BW capabilities provide enhancements in materiel and supply chain readiness analytics that are critical to inform commanders' understanding of weapons systems readiness, helping them make better decisions faster on the battlefield. The APS capabilities directly impacts the speed at which a deploying unit can draw combat equipment while reducing the burden of the day-to-day maintenance and accountability of APS stock. The FY 2021 funding will continue design, development, and incremental testing for Enterprise Aviation capability in the GCSS-Army baseline software; will continue to develop the SAP disconnected operations technical architecture; and will begin development to re-platform the Aircraft Notebook in order to sunset this legacy system. FY 2021 RDTE funds will also allow the Army to develop critical maintenance, supply and financial reports that will be used for Enterprise Aviation and key functional areas in order to improve readiness reporting. Finally, FY 2021 funding will address the requirements to allow units to quickly draw APS stocks.
