Equipment Reqs: GCCS operates using either UNIX or Windows NT based servers with like workstations. SunSPARC 20 application servers are DISA's official GCCS platforms, although any Pentium based PC with the appropriate hardware and software capable of operating in a UNIX or Windows NT environment can be used. The SunSPARC 5, a smaller PC with enhanced capabilities, is being tested as a possible replacement system for the SunSPARC 20 in an effort to migrate from UNIX based workstations to Comm Off the Shelf (COTS) PCs. Limited migration to Windows NT servers/PC based workstations is currently being facilitated using C2PC software. The fielding of GCCS software, Version 4.0, is planned to complete the migration to PC based workstations. This concept is commonly referred to as the "PC solution."

Connectivity Reqs: GCCS operates in an Ethernet (TCP/IP) client server environment. T1/T3 connections are typically used as pathways, however, pathways can be established using a PC dial-in

connection as well (STU-III or other modem and a PC). Large GCCS sites, such as MARFORPAC, generally operate at a data rate of 512 kbs. MSCs, Bns, and Sqdns generally operate at a minimum data rate of 56 kbs. GCCS can be provided to users in a tactical setting using various transmission paths as long as the minimal data rate of 56 kbs is met. GCCS is provided as an application service resident on the Secure Internet Router Protocol Network (SIPRNET).

Crypto Reqs: Network Encryption Systems (NES) are used in support of fixed garrison sites and are connected to the T1/T3 backbone. KG-194s are used in tactical environments or for garrison units not connected using NES-T1/T3 architecture. KG-194s are capable of operating at data rates of 56 kbs or higher. GCCS, to include GCCS-T, must be connected to the SIPRNET or a secure Local Area Network (Secure LAN).

Normal Locations: GCCS sites are located at various levels of the operational chain of command; national, theater, Joint Task Force (JTF), and supporting groups. At the national level, GCCS is used by the National Command Authorities (NCA), the National Security Agency (NSC), the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the service headquarters. At the theater level, GCCS is used by the warfighting Commanders in Chiefs (CINCs) and their subordinate commanders. At the JTF level, the designated JTF commander and his subordinate commanders are the primary users of GCCS. The supporting group level includes the supporting CINCs (TRANSCOM, SPACECOM, etc.) and other U.S. government agencies such ads the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). Additionally, GCCS services, through liaison cells, can be provided to coalition partners, United Nations (UN) representatives, and Non-government Organizations (NGOs) during peace keeping or humanitarian operations. Of the 620 worldwide GCCS sites, the USMC has 25 remote sites located at major command echelons. Currently, there are 221 GCCS user terminals in use throughout the Marine Corps.

Information Managed: GCCS, through the COE, is able to manage information along various core functional areas. These core functions, designated by the CINCs, include, but are not limited to, the following: crisis and deliberate planning; force deployment; unit positions; force status; intelligence; fire support; personnel; air operations; logistics; force deployment; and, narrative information.

Lead Service/Contractor: DISA has been designated as the lead service by the Chairman of the JCS with oversight authority vested in the JCS J6V. Multiple contractors have been, and continue to be, involved in the development, fielding, maintenance, and refinement of GCCS. Science Application International Corporation (SAIC) provides contract support at the Marine Corps' 25 remote sites. The Inter-National Research Institute (INRI) is responsible for integrating mission application software segments.

Current Fielding Status: As previously stated, 221 SunSPARC 20 suites have been fielded Marine Corps wide as of August, 1998. DISA anticipates completing fielding to all designated DoD commands and agencies by year 2003. Concerning software fielding, version 2.2 was replaced by version 3.0 in the spring of 1998. Once approved and implemented, version 4.0 will replace 3.0 and be used to further push GCCS down to the lowest level of command. 4.0's "PC solution will enable commands to use any PC capable of operating in a UNIX or Windows NT environment as a GCCS terminal.

Known Problems: There are five major problem areas associated with GCCS: system capability and synchronization; cross service integration; security; coalition operations; and, system misconceptions. The first problem area, system capacity and synchronization, stems from the architecture's inability to allow for more than one database to be accessed and used at a given time. This has resulted in a need to upgrade database capability

and reduce the number of major database sites to a lower number (currently nine) in order to facilitate system synchronization. Second, a minimal yet persistent level of service parochialism exists in regards to software development and licensing, acquisition processes, and operator and administrator training. Greater coordination among services, driven by J6, will alleviate this problem over time. Third, the biggest threat to the systems security is an enemy's ability to cause GCCS server shut down through "packet bombardment" at NES connections. The use of fire walls and other measures will lessen the likelihood of enemy information warfare practices. Fourth, interoperability with coalition forces poses several problems in regards to both security and architectural design. This can be overcome using various means of sanitation of information shared with coalition forces or by providing GCCS liaison cells to coalition partner staffs. The fifth and final problem area relates to misconceptions about GCCS capabilities and the assumption that it provides real-time information. When GCCS was first fielded in 1994, commanders were not briefed on the systems evolutionary developmental process. Many believed it was already capable of providing all services it was being designed to provide. GCCS received mixed reviews when it was not capable of meeting these expectations. Today, many commanders believe GCCS provides real-time information when it can currently only provide near-real time information. This capability will not be realized until the various stand-alone functional systems tied into GCCS and GCCS operating segments are designated DIICOE Level 8 compliant. These problems will be alleviated as GCCS continues to mature.

DIICOE Compliance Rating: DIICOE compliance levels were developed to support the creation and evolutionary development of the GCCS architecture. Platform hardware, for both potential GCCS servers/workstations and stand-alone functional operational system, application software, and API software must meet various levels of DIICOE compliance before being added to GCCS. Once added, hardware and software will be refined until they reach full compliance (DIICOE Level 8). There are eight levels of DIICOE compliance. These levels are listed below from Level 1 (lowest) to Level 8 (highest):

Level 1: Standards Compliance

Level 2: Network Compliance

Level 3: Workstation Compliance

Level 4: Bootstrap Compliance

Level 5: Minimal COE Compliance

Level 6: Intermediate Compliance

Level 7: Interoperable Compliance

Level 8: Full Compliance

Primary Purpose: The LAMS program is a standardized system for the management of Support Equipment (SE) at all three levels of Naval Aviation Maintenance. LAMS enhances the control of inventory through upline reporting of SE assets to the Support Equipment Resources Management Information System commonly referred to as SERMIS. SERMIS contains the master database of equipment for the Aviation Maintenance Material Readiness List (AMMRL) Program. LAMS provides automated methods of tracking SE assets at the local level. LAMS uses the SE Transaction Report (TR) as the source document. TRs are processed in LAMS and the data is submitted to the Support Equipment Controlling Authorities (SECAs) for upload into Support Equipment Resources Management Information System (SERMIS). LAMS references the Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) data which is downloaded from SERMIS. At the local level, activities are allowed to compute their excesses and deficits according to the authorized allowances in their IMRL. The Activity Inventory Report (AIR) data from SERMIS is used by the LAMS to generate an AIRCOMP Report which compares the inventory reported in SERMIS with the inventory reported in LAMS. LAMS provides real-time automated methods of aviation Support Equipment (SE) management. The LAMS system is comprised of a group of programs designed to manage two primary data files (IMRL and INVENTORY), and several secondary data files. The initial IMRL data file is created from data extracted from SERMIS. The initial and periodic updates to the IMRL data file are provided by the Support Equipment Controlling Authority (SECA). The IMRL Manager uses this initial IMRL data to help establish the INVENTORY data file.

Sub-Functions: LAMS performs the following functions:

-Standardizes inventory control procedures for Naval Aviation Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) assets.

- Allows real time tracking of an activity's IMRL assets (issue, return, etc.).

Disseminates tactical intelligence and targeting data (i.e. COMINT and ELINT) to receivers using the Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT). Information designed to flow simultaneously to the Joint Force Commander (JFC), Corps, Division, Brigade, Battalion, and other commanders (i.e., artillery, aviation, ADA, etc) providing each enhanced battlefield situational awareness. Provides dedicated capability to dynamically adjust tasking of selected airborne reconnaissance surveillance and target acquisition systems during ongoing missions through the use of simultaneous secure data and voice capabilities. Interoperable with Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force C2I nodes. Broadcast information is intended for use at all echelons for targeting, maneuvering, threat avoidance, sensor cueing, mission planning, and situation/threat development.

Equipment Requirements: Network users must have UHF radio receiver/transmitter to connect to the network and host processor (typically a UNIX based workstation) to display the information on a computerized map. Preferred terminal equipment is the Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT, formerly known as the Commander's Tactical Terminal). The terminals allow Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps users to exploit Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) networks: Tactical Reconnaissance Intelligence eXchange Service (TRIXS), Tactical Information Broadcast Service (TIBS), Tactical Related Applications (TRAP), and Tactical Data Information eXchange System-B (TADIXS-B). In addition to receiving intelligence data, JTT transmits TRIXS or TIBS data. The CTT and other IBS terminals are migrating to a single JTT family. JTT has ten receive and two transmit channels. It receives TRIXS, TIBS, TRAP and TADIXS-B. It transmits TRIXS and TIBS. The JTT will provide interoperation with the future IBS networks, to include NRTD. JTT terminals are composed of Common IBS modules (CIBS-M). JTT terminals will be connected to host systems and stand-alone configurations may also be provided. CIBS-M modules may be integrated directly into systems other than JTT terminals on a module-by-module basis.

Connectivity Requirements: Secure UHF LOS is usual mode of transmission. SATCOM capability exists if necessary. Other characteristics include 25 Khz bandwidth (32 Kbps) with simultaneous secure data and secure voice capability. Uses Have Quick II functionality for EP.

Crypto Requirements: JTT uses embedded crypto for both SCI or GENSER traffic.

Normal Locations: The JTT is integrated into other weapon systems and are transported with the host system. These systems include GSM/CGS, ASAS, ETRAC, THAADS, PATRIOT, JTAGS, Trojan Spirit, AFATDS, and other multi-service systems. The equipment can be mounted in fixed and rotary wing aircraft, surface, and fixed or mobile ground platforms and vehicles. It may be located with Force Component HQ-G2 (or J2), MEF G-2, Wing or Division G-2, Artillery Regts, ADA Bn, SOF units, and Air Force theaters.

Products Created: COMINT and ELINT NRT tactical information at GENSER and SCI levels. JTT can also receive secondary imagery products through the Army’s General Purpose Link (GPL) for Secondary Imagery Dissemination (SID).

Lead Service/Contractor: In 1997 Raytheon won a contract award valued at $133 million from the Army to fulfill joint services requirements for the production and preplanned product improvements of the Joint Tactical Terminal/Common Integrated Broadcast Service-Modules (JTT/CIBS-M). The Air Force is overseeing the implementation of broadcast services and systems.

Current Fielding Status: TRIXS will migrate to CIBS-M in FY99/00. TRIXS network integrated in GCCS, Rivet Joint RC-135, U2 CARS, J-STARS, AEGIS, USS Constellation, and A2C2. JTT/CIBS-M fielding scheduled for 4^th quarter of FY98. IBS will introduce a common TDDS/TIBS/TRIXS/NRTD format during the transition phase of 1998-99 with portions of UHF broadcast transitioned to Global Broadcast Service (GBS) and other communications assets after 2000. The objective is to integrate broadcasts and interactive networks into DoD Communications Infrastructure.
