February 2010Rebalancing Investment to Meet Global RequirementsMarine Corps Radio and Switching Modernization: The Marine Corps willcontinue to procure the latest state of the art radio systems for the warfighters (IISR,PRC‐117, PRC‐150, PRC‐148). It will also continue to upgrade multi‐channel (TRC‐170, SMART‐T) with hardware and software that increases bandwidth, reliability,and security for our tactical C2 users. Additional investments include COMSECupgrades to existing radio systems, and continued Very Small Aperture Terminal(VSAT) procurements that have become the backbone of small units C2 in OIF/OEF.The Tactical Command System upgrades the Navyʹs Command, Control, Computerand Intelligence (C3I) systems and processes C3I information for all warfare missionareas including planning, direction and reconstruction of missions for peacetime,wartime and times of crises. A major component of the Tactical Command Systemis the Global Command and Control System‐Maritime (GCCS‐M). GCCS‐M is theNavy’s fielded command and control system, a key component of the FORCEnetCommand, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, andReconnaissance (C4ISR) strategy. GCCS‐M Increment 1 is the maritime componentof the GCCS Family of Systems (FoS). It provides maritime commanders at allechelons of command with a single, integrated, scalable C4I system that fuses,correlates, filters, maintains, and displays location and attribute information onfriendly, hostile, and neutral land, sea, and air forces, integrated with availableintelligence and environmental information, to support command decision making.GCCS‐M Increment 2 will continue the fielding of a GCCS FoS based system aboardforce level ships and major command centers. The GCCS‐M program office willlook to field a more readily scalable and modular Command and Control capabilityaboard unit and group level ships. The FY 2011 budget supports continued fieldingand support of GCCS‐M Increment 1 in addition to the development activities andtest events associated with the release of GCCS‐M Increment 2.The Maritime Operations Center (MOC) concept of operations creates a maritimeheadquarters networked for operational level command and control, with personneltrained and certified in joint planning. MOC capabilities include: planning,executing and assessing joint and multinational operations; developing andmaintaining local, regional and global maritime domain awareness; collaborativeand global maritime planning, execution and assessment through globallynetworked MOCs; and maintaining certifications to joint standards to assume dutiesin joint force as the overall commander or maritime component of the jointcommand structure. Variance has been reduced and baselines have been establishedamong the MOCs, and in FY 2011, the next Spiral will bring enhanced C2 andBattlespace Awareness enhancements to the MOCs.FY 2011 Department of the Navy Budget 5–27
