Common Imagery Ground / Surface Systems
In FY 2026, AF DCGS transitioned from four ACAT III efforts (GEOINT Transformation, SIGINT Transformation, Multi-INT Transformation, and Network Infrastructure Transformation) to one Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP), encompassing Mission Applications, Mission Data Services, and DCGS Operations Integration and Transformation (OI&T), and maintain the Network Infrastructure Transformation (NIT) ACAT III. The SWP with its realigned categories consist of the efforts formerly in the GEOINT Transformation, SIGINT Transformation and Multi-INT Infrastructure ACATs. 1. GEOINT Transformation-1: Rapidly integrates new and updated GEOINT capabilities and enables quick/seamless integration of new sensors, data types, sensor planning, and command and control (C2) capabilities on to the AF DCGS resilient, distributed architecture to meet mission assured requirements and enable DCGS' analyst global orchestration, sense-making, tailored analysis (battlespace awareness, battlespace characterization, and targetable custody tasks). Leverages mission partner methods and tools to the maximum extent possible. 2. SIGINT Transformation-1: Rapidly integrates new and updated SIGINT capabilities and enables quick/seamless integration of new sensors, data types, sensor planning, command and control (C2), and data link visualization capabilities on to the AF DCGS resilient, distributed architecture to meet mission assured requirements and enable DCGS' analyst global orchestration, sense-making, tailored analysis (battlespace awareness, battlespace characterization, and targetable custody tasks). Leverages mission partner methods and tools to the maximum extent possible. 3. Multi-Intelligence-1: Rapidly integrates new and updated enterprise services, core shared services and applications to include voice and chat communications, collaboration, and situational awareness, Enterprise Multi-INT Data and Services (EMDS), Multi-INT fusion, and data analytics capabilities (to include Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning (AI/ML), Automation and Augmentation (AAA)) on to the AF DCGS resilient, distributed architecture to meet mission assured requirements and enable DCGS' analyst global orchestration, sense-making, tailored analysis (battlespace awareness, battlespace characterization, and targetable custody) tasks.
