The DAS is a tactically deployable Intelligence and Electronic Warfare (IEW) command, control, and targeting support system. The DAS accepts a high volume of intelligence messages from a variety of IEW sources (theater, national, joint, etc.) and sensors. It then correlates the collected data into intelligence products and provides this intelligence to various other Army Mission Command Systems supporting battlefield commanders and staff, joint organizations, and national agencies.

The DCGS-A Single Source (DSS) software baseline provides a source of intelligence fusion (automated collection and analysis of all available tactical intelligence data) on the battlefield. The DSS provides Information Collection Processing Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) for the Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) elements at Division, Corps and EAC, as well as Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR) and SFGs. The DSS baseline is the critical IEW node in the U. S. Army's theater SIGINT architectures. The DSS baseline provides the in-theater interface between SIGINT units supporting divisions, corps, and EAC commanders, and national/strategic SIGINT databases in support of theater Commanders in Chief (CINCS), ground component commanders, and deployed combined/joint task forces. The software accepts a high volume of intelligence data from a variety of IEW sources and sensors, correlates the collected data into intelligence information, and provides this intelligence to various other Unified Mission Command (UMC) systems supporting battlefield commanders and staff, joint organizations, and national agencies.

6. System Interoperates With: Integrated Subsystem of the DCGS-A Enterprise. The DCGS-A P-MFWS exchanges information with national systems, with theater, and joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems, and with ABCS systems to include the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS), and other Army IEW systems. Information exchanges are via Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), and standard Army support communication systems. Army IEW systems which interoperate with DCGS-A P-MFWS include, the DCGS-A Tactical Ground Station (TGS), DCGS-A Operational Intelligence Ground Station (OGS),Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Army Reconnaissance - Low (ARL), the PROPHET family of systems, Inter-Agency, International and Multi-National (JIIM), Battle Command Joint Stars, U-2, and the Trojan Special Purpose Integrated Remote Intelligence Terminal (SPIRIT).

DCGS-A GROUND STATION, TACTICAL INTELLIGENCE (TGS) DESCRIPTION

1. System Name: DCGS-A Ground Station, Tactical Intelligence (TGS)

2. System Manager: Program Manager DCGS-A, Assistant Program Manager TGS (APM TGS), under the direction of the Program Executive Office Intelligence Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEWS).

3. System Proponent: Army Training And Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Capability Manager (TCM) - Sensor Processing (TCM –SP).

4. System Deployed: TGS software is operational in 82 Regular Army and Army National Guard TGS Vehicles with CONUS and OCONUS units. The PM is still fielding systems. TGS is also available in 11 additional vehicles at various schools, training centers, and battle laboratories.

5. System Overview: The Tactical Intelligence Ground Station (TGS) is a mobile, multi-sensor, Multi-INT tactical data processing, evaluation and dissemination (PED) center that links multiple air and ground sensors to include the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft to the Army Battle Command System (ABCS) at nodes with Corps, Division and Brigade. JSTARS is a multi-service battle management and targeting system with airborne multi-modal radar incorporating an electronically scanned antenna. The radar combines Moving and Fixed Target Indicator (MTI/FTI) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) functions and is carried aboard a USAF E-8 aircraft. Radar data is broadcast to the Army TGS through an Omni-directional data link and over UHF SATCOM. Additional sensor data can also be received from other air platforms such as UAS and Persistent Threat Detection System (PTDS). The TGS integrates imagery and signal intelligence data into a single visual presentation of the battlefield, providing commanders with near real-time situational awareness, enhanced battle management and targeting capabilities. The TGS with its JSTARS and other sensor feeds, fulfills an urgent air-land battlefield requirement by providing an Army/Air Force sensor and attack control capability designed to locate, track, classify and assist in attacking moving and stationary targets beyond the Forward Line of Troops (FLOT). TGS is the only Wide Area Surveillance System that has resolution and real-time capability to provide the commander the data necessary to be effective in the future sensor-oriented battle management process. TGS is the SECRET Collateral “low-side” solution for the Ground Station Operational Intelligence (OGS) at Army Corps. TGS SW is integrated with DCGS-A Architecture, Linux servers, Windows servers, Windows Operating Systems, VMware applications and Cisco Networking.

6. System Interoperates With: DCGS-A, UAS Ground Station, GBS, IBS, Broadcast TV & Radio, numerous aerial and satellite platforms.

MACHINE FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRANSLATION SYSTEM (MFLTS) DESCRIPTION

1. System Name: Machine Foreign Language Translation System (MFLTS)

2. System Manager: Program Manager DCGS-A, Product Director MFLTS (PD MFLTS), under the direction of the Program Executive Office Intelligence Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEWS).

3. System Proponent: Army Training And Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Capability Manager (TCM) – Biometrics, Forenscis, and MFLTS

4. System Deployed: N/A, production completion date is January 2016.

5. System Overview: MFLTS is a multi-operating system software-only program that, when fielded, will integrate automated foreign speech and text translation capabilities into Army systems of record, such as Distributed Common Ground Station-Army (DCGS-A), Nett Warrior, Prophet, and Mission Command, increasing the points of presence for foreign language translation on the battlefield. . The MFLTS provides portable (wearable or handheld), mobile (laptop), and web-enabled configurations.

6. System Interoperates With: MFLTS is interoperable with Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS), or Government-Off-The-Shelf(GOTS) automation equipment to include Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A), Nett Warrior (NW), Prophet, Mission Command and other systems.
