GCCS-M is a single, integrated, scalable Command, Control, Communication, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) system that receives, displays, correlates, fuses and maintains geo-locational track information on friendly, hostile, and neutral land, sea and air forces and integrates it with available intelligence and environmental information.

GCCS-M provides Tactical Decision Aids that exploit that information.

• Theater Battle Management Core System:- Provides automated command, control, and

intelligence system used for planning and executing the air portion of joint operations

– Air Planning: Targeting, Airspace, Scheduling

• Produces the Air Tasking Order and Air Coordination Order (ATO/ACO)

• Monitor/Manage Air Operations

What is AIS?• AIS is a shipboard broadcast transponder system operating in the Very

High Frequency (VHF) maritime band that is capable of sending and receiving ship information, including Navigation (Position, Course, Speed …), Identification (Name, Call Sign, Length, Beam …), and Cargo (Draft, Type, Destination …).

Portable AIS Equipment

• Benefits to Navy:– Safety at Sea / Navigation.

– Situational Awareness / Common Operational Picture.

– Support to Multi-INT Fusion and intelligence gathering (e.g., Open-Source).

What are AIS’s Benefits?

Link 11 Data Updates

• In Link 11 a Net Control Station (NCS) polls each Participating Unit (PU) for data. More PUs increase the Net Cycle Time interval between updates.

32

• Link 16 permits JTIDS Units (JUs) to update more frequently using:- Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) a technique that allocates reporting time slots flexibly according to anticipated use, and

- Sub-dividing JUs into Stacked Nets on different frequency hopping patterns, represented by rings below

Link 16 Data Updates

• If the Link 11 NCS is disabled or destroyed, time and data are lost while identifying a new NCS, establishing a time reference, and restarting the Roll Call.

• Link 16 has no NCS. It does require a Network Time Reference (NTR) which devolves to the unit with the highest Time Quality (7 - 10) or GPS time if the network is designed to accept GPS.
