What project 2268 buys
This is a Military Intelligence Program (MIP) Program Element. Distributed Common Ground System-Marine Corps Intelligence Enterprise Family of Systems (DCGS-MC IE FoS) is a critical Commandant of the Marine Corps Force Design program focused on Reconnaissance/Counter-Reconnaissance that senses and makes sense of the forward operating area, providing robust multi-intelligence processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) activities to include sensor fusion and correlation. As the forward sensing element of the maritime force, DCGS-MC provides the foundation for algorithmic warfare at the tactical edge pushing validated target quality information to enable global long range precision fires. DCGS-MC complies with the DCGS Enterprise interoperability and information sharing requirements necessary for PED capabilities via consolidated functional servers, workstations, cloud computing, and advanced technological processing capabilities from a contested, tactical environment to the integrated Marine Corps Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Enterprise (MCISRE). DCGS-MC capabilities deliver tactically focused, operational, and strategic intelligence across all echelons of the Marine Corps at the tactical edge throughout all phases of operations to provide relevant, precise battlespace awareness, and threat characterization for the Joint Task Force, Naval Force, Marine Air-Ground Task Force, and subordinate Marine units in support of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and Distributed Maritime Operations. The DCGS-MC IE FoS will consolidate DCGS-MC GEOINT, DCGS-MC All Source and Technical Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Control and Analysis Center (TSCAC) into one program. The DCGS-MC Next Gen FoS addresses intelligence tasking, collection, processing, analysis, exploitation, management, storage, and dissemination capabilities for the Marine Corps Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Enterprise (MCISRE) in support of the FMF, Maritime Component, or Joint Task Force (JTF) across all warfighting domains and information environments.

This equipment will be employed inside the weapons engagement zone (WEZ) and will support the warfighter in populating the kill-web and shortening the kill-chain process. This capability involves sensing the operational environment through a variety of systems, from satellites overhead to reconnaissance Marines on the ground, and providing that information to Marine Corps Intelligence Commanders, Joint Intelligence Centers, and to Five Eyes (FVEY) partners for use in operational planning. COMMUNICATION EMITTER SENSING and ATTACKING SYSTEM (CESAS). This is a high-power ground electronic attack (EA) system which disrupts, denies, and degrades enemy communications in support of reconnaissance/counter-reconnaissance (RXR) and infantry maneuver. CESAS supports Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) by contributing sensor data to joint Electromagnetic Battle Management (EMBM) systems to provide decision advantage to commanders. CESAS is employed by trained operators from the Marine Radio Battalions and Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARFORSOC) to sense and make sense of the electromagnetic spectrum and provide non-kinetic fires tailored to support infantry and maneuver elements. CESAS provides sensing and attacking in the high frequency (HF), very high frequency (VHF), and ultra-high frequency (UHF) ranges against enemy emitters with modern modulation schemes. An increase to the CESAS II FoS Authorized Acquisition Objective (AAO) in support of Force Design initiatives equips SIEW Teams to the infantry battalion, Radio Reconnaissance Teams (RRTs), Light Armored Vehicle - Electronic Warfare (LAV-EW), MARFORSOC operators, and the Supporting Establishment with modern electronic warfare (EW) systems capable of countering peer threat emitters. CESAS II FoS uses an incremental acquisition strategy, incorporating the Enhanced EW phased approach to integrating new capabilities to maintain pace with adversaries.

What project 3771 buys
The Congressionally mandated Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) program provides the innovation and adaptability necessary for the Marine Corps Intelligence Enterprise to support Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) operations in increasingly complex environments against technologically savvy adversaries. TENCAP exploits current national reconnaissance systems and programs by examining both technical and operational capabilities, designing and developing advanced solutions to current Intelligence gaps, implementing training, and sponsoring concept demonstrations to directly support Marine Corps operating forces. The goal is to pursue technologies which exploit data from national systems to enhance intelligence support to the MAGTF and/or the supported Joint Task Force commander. Additionally, TENCAP supports a persistent, distributed, development, test, and certification environment that addresses critical tactical intelligence capability gaps and delivers sustainable solutions to the operating forces and Marine Corps Systems Command (MSCS) through rapid delivery of emerging technologies

What project 9999 buys
TERRESTRIAL COLLECTION provides a tactical sensor Family of Systems (FoS) to enable near-real time persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to the Marine Corps and Joint Community. Marine Corps Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations provide Stand-In-Forces placement and access inside an enemy's weapon engagement zone for the emplacement of a network of collection systems that enhance the situational awareness of naval and joint forces operating in the littorals and the wider maritime domain. The Terrestrial Collection System (TCS) FoS equips Intelligence Battalions, Reconnaissance Battalions, Marine Littoral Regiments (MLRs), and Littoral Combat Teams (LCTs) with a network of unattended ground and maritime sensors to enhance Ground and Maritime Domain Awareness and support Recon/Counter-Recon operations. Ground sensors include land-based electro optical/infrared (EO/IR), acoustic, magnetic, and seismic sensors for the detection and identification of ground-based targets. Maritime sensors include both land and sea-based sensors. Land-based maritime sensors encompass surface search radar and passive detection of AIS signals for the detection and identification of maritime targets. Sea based maritime sensors are unattended/autonomous surface platform capable of acoustic, EO/IR, and oceanographic/meteorological sensing to detect and identify maritime targets and increase deep maritime domain awareness beyond the range of shore-based sensors. TCS sensors identify location, disposition, movement, and direction of enemy activity using all-weather multi-modal sensor systems to provide indications and warning of enemy activity for dissemination through Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) using DCGS-MC and the Minotaur Ecosystem for ingestion into a Joint Common Intelligence/Operating Picture. In FY 2023 funds related to GBOSS capability were realigned to Mobile All-Domain Observation and Sensing Systems (MA-DOSS).
