With assistance from sailors from the Precomissioning Unit Gravely (DDG-107), USJFCOM’s JSIC is looking at how well the NGA Image Product Library operates with the Global Command and Control System (GCCS).
GCCS-Joint is a command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence (C4I) system, consisting of hardware, software, procedures, standards, and interfaces to provide worldwide connectivity for information resources.
Using the Gravely’s GCCS operators allows JSIC to assess how an operator uses the system in a real-world situation and resolve any interoperability issues with the system in real-time. In return, Gravely’s crew members can familiarize themselves with a completely up-to-date system similar to one being installed on their ship.
The four operators from the Gravely deemed the experience “very beneficial” and were looking forward to taking the knowledge they recieved at JSIC back to thier shipmates on the Gravely.
Over all this has been a win-win for both commands and hasn’t cost taxpayers a cent extra.
