CURRENT FUTURE
Ground Station Migration--from DCGS-A ORD Para 1.5 System Description
Jun 04
Large tactical footprint—vehicles, hardware, tents…
Operate from static positions—not enroute or “on-the-move”
Limited collaboration and visualization
Limited security exchange policies and technology
Most current systems built around single ISR platforms
Significant training and sustaining challenges with multiple ground systems
Limited interoperability among Services and Intel Agencies
Data flow stops before reaching the Combat User
Gaps in Current Systems From DCGS-A ORD Para. 1.1.2. Critical Shortfalls of Current ISR capabilities
Jun 04
ISR Lessons Learned 3d Infantry Division OIF Experience
Ability to strike exceeded the ability to target Inadequate Battalion and Brigade S2 / Intel organization and
sensor structure Uneven skill mix, lack of branch standards, requirement for ad hoc
teaming for intel No Analytic Centers providing overwatch for the tactical fight or
transitions
ISR priorities focused on higher echelons No red/blue COP after crossing the Line of Departure
Inability to support BCOTM with threat data Inability to share higher picture to and across the ‘last tactical mile’
Unreliable BDA from joint fires
FOUO
The Future Force Can’t be Fought, it Doesn’t Exist. The Army has to be Ready to go to War with What it Has. Gen Peter J. Schoomaker
Army Chief of Staff
Jun 04
Enables and Supports Commanders to:See First
Orchestrates, synchronizes, and integrates Joint, Interagency, Multi-National, and Army (MI and non-MI) ISR sensors in all operational phases across the spectrum of conflict
Eliminates information barriers
Understand First Provides fusion and analytical capabilities to support situational understanding
Act First Supports maneuver to positions of advantage and develops targets
Finish Decisively Provide battle and effects damage assessment
DCGS-A Objective ConceptFrom DCGS-A ORD Para 1.
Jun 04
Joint Interoperable, Network-Centric ISR for Commanders, Shooters, and Analysts
• Brings National, Joint, Coalition, and Commercial ISR to Units of Action…down to the Future Combat System (FCS) and Land Warrior
• Facilitates “Reach” and “Collaboration” Army’s Future Force ISR sensor fusion and processing system
• Single Army System for tasking sensors, providing information and intelligence to all Users (embedded on FCS & in Future Battle Command System)
Brings Threat, Neutral, Terrain & Weather to the Common Operating Picture, enables the Intel Running Estimate, supports targeting & effects
Fixed Sites at “Units of Employment”; Mobile (deployable/ man-portable) for UE and “Units of Action”-Bde Intel Comms Company; and Embedded Software Application on FCS & Battle Command System
Part of the DoD C4ISR Architecture; mandated by JROC, DoD & Congress• Shared interoperable baseline for all Services DCGS; common hardware,
software, and protocols
• Not a communications system--Relies on the Global Information Grid (GIG), WIN-T, & JTRS (“Critical Dependency”)
A “Complementary System” to FCS; ISR Processing Component of future Battle Command System
DCGS-A Is…From DCGS-A ORD Para 1.

Where Will DCGS-A Be?
Fixed DCGS-A – Units of Employment Home Station Operations Centers enhance reach “heavy lifting”. Provide tailored products to the force
Mobile DCGS-A – UE & UA BICC Deployable segments tailorable and scaleable to the mission. Ground control system for Prophet, Aerial Common Sensor and select UAV – operates on-the-move
Embedded DCGS-A – Software Applications embedded in FCS--tailorable to platform role/function/need and provide common tools in BCS for ISR tasking, fusing data, collaboration, and visualization in units – operates on-the-move
Manpower sharedbetween fixed and
deployable segments

• Complexity increases the higher the echelon• Proliferation of sensors at lower echelons• Resolution of conflicting data/reports• Cumulative effects of reporting
• Therefore…Not all data should go into the COP• Clarity and accuracy of the Red COP requires reporting criteria (METT-TC
dependent), profiles and filters—DCGS-A provides the capability
