P-1 NOMENCLATURE:
AIR FORCE GLOBAL COMMAND & CONTROL SYSTEM
Description (continued):
installs GCCS-AF at required AF-supported CINCs, active Air Force, ANG and AFR sites. It also upgrades or replaces C2 communications and
computer systems to modernize logistically unsupportable MAJCOM C2 systems and capitalize on AFSN and GCCS-AF improvements. The
classified communications infrastructure of the MAJCOM C2 facilities, e.g., command posts, will be modernized by installing state-of-the-art
networking components for improved interoperability, data throughput, and system security.
- FY01 funds procured initial network infrastructure for multiple new sites; fielded GCCS-AF systems hardware at MAJCOM, AFR and ANG
locations; expanded the GCCS architecture to include new functional users on each base; and provided initial technical refreshment of fielded
hardware. Funds also procured software licenses and out year software support.
- FY02/03 funds continue to procure initial network infrastructure and equipment for multiple new sites and supports the deployment of the
DCAPES. This expanded GCCS architecture includes new functional users on each base and specifically incorporates the manpower and
logistics functions into GCCS. FY02/03 funds continue fielding of GCCS-AF systems (hardware, government-off-the-shelf (GOTS)/COTS
software) at MAJCOM, ANG, and AFR locations providing a full spectrum of command, control, logistics, and intelligence capability from
strategic to unit level operations with total joint service connectivity. This fielding is consistent with the AF’s Air Expeditionary Force C2
structure and will allow for the continued integration of evolving C2 capabilities into the AF’s operational framework. These funds will provide
technical refreshment of fielded hardware, and procure software licenses and out year software support. Beginning in FY02, GCCS-AF
provides funding for AFSN to support the installation of SIPRNET connections at designated sites.
