NEWTOWN, Conn. - The U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency's Global Command and Control System (GCCS) conducts research and development into additional capabilities for the GCCS. The GCCS is a U.S. Department of Defense-wide command, control, communications, computing, and intelligence (C4I) system. FI projects that the U.S. DISA will spend about $159 million on GCCS R&D activities over the next decade. This solid amount of projected funding is being driven by the U.S. DoD's need to maintain GCCS C4I capabilities. (DISA budget documents indicate that the Global Command and Control System-Joint (GCCS-J) entered full sustainment in FY10).
FY12 and FY13 DISA budget documents state that there is a renewed focus on the existing GCCS-J, due to the termination of the DoD's Net Enabled Command Capability (NECC) program. The healthy amount of spending planned for GCCS-J from FY15 through FY16 reflects this renewed focus.
