TECHNICAL CONTROL AND
ANALYSIS CENTER (TCAC)
Description
TCAC is the Marine Corps primary signals intelligence
(SIGINT) analysis system. TCAC satisfies the
Marine Corps requirement for a semi-automated tactical
SIGINT and Electronic Warfare (EW) fusion system
that can perform the processing, analysis, and reporting
functions of the Radio Battalions (RadBn), Marine
Special Operations Intelligence Battalion, and Marine
Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadrons (VMAQ).
TCAC fuses signals intelligence data from organic, theater,
and national collection platforms and is the focal
point of the RadBn SIGINT operations. TCAC delivers
an enhanced automated intelligence processing,
analyzing, and reporting capability that improves the
total control and management of SIGINT and EW
capabilities, including the production and dissemination
of SIGINT/EW information for the Marine Air
Ground Task Force (MAGTF).
Operational Impact
TCAC is the primary system that enables SIGINT
Marines to provide planning support and timely and
accurate, fused signals intelligence to the MAGTF.
TCAC is deployed in support of MAGTF operations
worldwide in two configurations: the TCAC Remote
Analysis Workstation (RAWS) and the Transportable
Workstation.
Program Status
TCAC is a fully fielded, post-Milestone C program
that is undergoing incremental upgrades to improve
current capabilities. Major enhancements include a
Windows Server upgrade, Full Disk Encryption, a fully
integrated audio processing capability, a Semantic
Wiki with user-defined alerts, Digital Network Intelligence
analysis capability, and integration with the Real
Time Regional Gateway.
