Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS-MC)
This is a Military Intelligence Program (MIP) Program Element. Distributed Common Ground System-Marine Corps (DCGS-MC) 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. Modernization efforts are focused on advanced all-domain information environment tools, and technologies that enable superior awareness of the battlespace. The capabilities reduce the logistical and cognitive burden on the individual Marine by reducing size, weight, and power and provide advanced computing capabilities at the forward edge in a contested environment against a peer adversary. Current programmatic efforts support a multi-domain sensing architecture, organic sensing, mobile battlespace awareness, and increased integration with space and cyber systems.
