Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems

Abstract

This program element is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). The Distributed Common Ground/Surface System Special Operations Forces (DCGS-SOF) is part of a family of systems providing Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Processing, Exploitation, Dissemination (PED), and analytical capabilities at the Component/Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOC) level and below through a combination of reach back, forward support, and collaboration. The mission tailored infrastructure interconnects the warfighters, analysts, and sensors to find and fix High Value Targets and provides a network-enabled, interoperable construct allowing continual, unimpeded sharing of intelligence data, information and services with SOF and between the Services, other national intelligence agencies, combatant commands and multi-national partners. It connects the SOF warfighters and support analysts with essential intelligence information and provides situation awareness information to SOF leadership at all echelons. The three components of DCGS-SOF include the following: Enterprise All Source Information Fusion (ENT/ASIF) provides infrastructure, processing, and intelligence analytical tools to allow for worldwide SOF intelligence information sharing via a globally connected cloud based architecture as well as a forward disconnected capability. SOF Geospatial Intelligence Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (SGIP) provides capabilities in garrison and deployed environments for the PED of manned and unmanned sensors. SOF Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Processing, Exploitation, Dissemination (PED) provides SIGINT exploitation capability in both garrison and deployed environments.
