USMC Concepts & Programs 2013
This hardware upgrade will be provided to support
virtualization of COC software and the fielding of the
COC C2 Software Package in FY 2012. The COC C2
Software Package is derived from the Tactical Service
Oriented Architecture (TSOA), which is a set of reusable
software components that can be used anywhere
in the Marine Corps. These components are built to a
newly defined MAGTF C2 Software Architecture that
establishes the foundation for C2. The processes, patterns,
practices used to develop components for the
TSOA are described by the Expeditionary Software Development
System. The deployment of Rapid Response
Integration Teams to units in the fleet will directly support
tailored, rapid application development.
Operational Impact
COCs have been deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom
and Operation Enduring Freedom, as well as many
other operational exercises and missions around the
globe. COCs provide capabilities to present, display, and
communicate the commander’s intent and required
information in support of expeditionary maneuver
warfare and all aspects of mid-intensity warfare. COC’s
integration of commercial- and government-off-theshelf
technologies shorten the decision making cycle by
providing intelligence and information on friendly and
enemy locations and activities in a consolidated, easily
recognizable video display viewed simultaneously by all
staff functions within the COC complex.
Program Status
The current Approved Acquisition Objective for all
COC Variants is 309. The AN/TSQ-239 (V) 2, 3, and 4
reached Full Operational Capability in December 2011.
(V) 2-4 are post-full-rate production and are in the operations
and support phase of the acquisition life cycle.
The COC program will continue to incorporate engineering
changes and equipment technical refresh and
insertion in order to address operational requirements
for improved technical capabilities and new system interface
requirements.
The COC (V)1, Marine Expeditionary Force level
variant, is a new start Abbreviated Acquisition Program
currently in production and uses the Deployable Joint
Command and Control system as a baseline for the materiel
solution. Three systems are allocated for procurement,
one for each MEF. Initial Operational Capability
will occur in FY 2014.

GROUND-BASED OPERATIONAL
SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
EXPEDITIONARY (G-BOSS(E))
Description
The G-BOSS(E) provides organic, around-theclock
persistent surveillance capabilities through the
use of multi-spectral sensors and ground-surveillance
radars configured on three distinct, mobile and flexible
(heavy, medium, and light) platforms supporting an
array of missions. All three variants can be employed
by any size Marine Air-Ground Task Force, or elements
within the MAGTF, in order to expand a commander’s
view of the battlespace. Sensor-derived information
can be shared internally between sensor nodes and
relayed to the Combat Operations Center (COC) for
further analysis and sharing across the Global Information
Grid. Information can be forwarded to intelligence,
operations, and fire-support agencies or used
organically as real-time actionable intelligence.
