Communications Operations Analysis and Integration
Abstract
The Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence for the Warrior (C4IFTW) vision evolved into the Department’s Global Information Grid (GIG) as a means to achieve Information Superiority. The GIG is the globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities, associated processes, and personnel for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating and managing information on-demand to warfighters, policy makers, and support personnel. The GIG includes all owned and leased communications and computing systems and services, software (including applications), data, security services, and other associated services necessary to achieve Information Superiority. It also includes National Security Systems as defined in section 5142 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996. The GIG supports all DOD, National Security, and related Intelligence Community missions and functions (strategic, operational, tactical and business), in war and in peace. The GIG also provides capabilities from all operating locations (bases, posts, camps, stations, facilities, mobile platforms, and deployed sites). Finally, the GIG provides interfaces to coalition, allied, and non-DOD users and systems.
