Past Performance:  Global Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Capability (GISRC)


Customer:

SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego and Maritime Battle Center/Naval Warfare Development Command

Dragon's Role:
  • UAV Video screening and target nomination software tool development
  • Develop tactics, techniques and procedures
  • Fleet Battle Experiment (FBE) support

Problem:
  • Make Navy time-critical strike doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) more dynamic, responsive and interactive

Solution:
  • Worked with Predator UAV developer to separate telemetry from video into two streams, putting telemetry into close-caption band
  • Developed ability to display multiple types of UAV location and sensor view information on Global Command and Control System (GCCS) to provide situational awareness and target nomination capability from video-derived intelligence
  • Captured, developed and validated time-critical strike TTPs and examined innovative warfighting capabilities in an at-sea operational environment to resolve issues before introducing new capabilities into the Fleet


GISRC Past Performance Description

Dragon staff supported SSC-SD Code 273 the Global Command and Control System Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Capability (GISRC) from 1997-2003.  The GISRC effort involved the entire software development cycle from concept, through design, development, integration, and deployment.  GISRC was designed to be a C4I system that extends the commander's sensor horizon to support real-time targeting and surveillance at beyond line-of-sight ranges.  GISRC provided a direct path for integrated and correlated national and tactical sensor information to a commander for tactical decision making.  The Maritime Battle Center (MBC) and the Naval Warfare Development Center (NWDC) used the GISRC prototype and prototyping process during six Fleet Battle Experiments (FBEs).

Dragon engineers provided systems engineering, software development, concept development/validation and technical support for GISRC.  The GISRC software provided the time-critical ISR support for identifying, nominating and attacking mobile missile and other targets representing high threat/high payoff target systems to the Joint Maritime Component Commander and his embarked forces.  Additionally, to meet FBE and other Limited Objective Experiments (LOE) objectives for integrating the planning and execution process, Dragon engineers developed GISRC to support initial interfaces and capabilities for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Sensor Management and Tasking to support both pre-planned and dynamic target sets.  We supported the deployment, installation, training, and operation of GISRC during FBEs.

GISRC was developed to be a DII COE 4.x segment acting as both stand-alone segment or as a JOTS-1 4.x client.  The segment consisted of three C++ and Java based applications residing on Windows NT platforms.  Dragon created all the DII COE compliance documentation for GISRC segment delivery to GCCS Integrated Intelligence and Imagery (I3) as a GCCS segment.  GISRC received data feeds from near-real-time and real-time sources, as well as reference databases.
