Description:
The Global Command & Control System Air Force (GCCS-AF) program provides the common Air Force infrastructure and hardware necessary
to pass Air Force command and control (C2) data among commands, their components, and the joint GCCS. This program procures GCCS
components, servers, workstations, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software and associated peripherals to provide users with the full suite of
joint baseline capability (including the Common Operating Picture) and AF specific applications such as the Deliberate Crisis Action Planning
& Execution Segments (DCAPES), the Air Force’s feed into the Joint Operations Planning and Execution System (JOPES). GCCS-AF is
integrated at the following locations to establish initial and full joint connectivity and operational capability across the spectrum of intelligence,
operations, manpower, and logistics: Air Force-supported commanders-in-chief (CINCs), Headquarters United States Air Force (HQ USAF),
major command (MAJCOM) headquarters, numbered air forces, wings, Air National Guard (ANG) bases, Air Force Reserve (AFR) bases and
remote sites. Each site will comply with current Air Force and Department of Defense (DoD) network initiatives by employing a standardized
interface among Air Force base-level classified C2 networks, Air Force base-level network control centers, and the joint Defense Information
Systems Agency (DISA) Secret Internet Protocol Network (SIPRNET). This program provides a flexible open system, distributed C2
architecture necessary to support the client/server-based joint GCCS. GCCS supports Air Force Systems Networking (AFSN) operations by
installing and upgrading a site’s classified C2 network through extensive use of COTS technology that adheres to the Air Force command,
control, communications and computer building codes and standards.
Items for GCCS requested in FY03 are identified on the following P-40a and are representative of items to be procured. Items procured during
execution may change based on critical equipment needed to support current Air Force mission requirements.
1. AIR FORCE SYSTEMS NETWORKING (AFSN): No FY03 funding is requested.
