In front page article titled, “Drone Flights Leave Military Awash in Data,” The New York Times reports that Raytheon’s Distributed Common Ground System 10.2 will begin to play a vital role in the tasking, processing, exploitation and dissemination of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance around the world for the U.S. Air Force.

The DCGS 10.2 program modernizes the U.S. armed forces’ distributed ISR exploitation systems, creating a worldwide, network-centric enterprise for real-time information sharing.

This is a typical screen that the DCGS 10.2 intelligence analysts will be using when the system goes live in a few months. Multi-Int Visualization (MIViz) is a lightweight Web application that enables an intel analyst to visualize data from multiple sources and databases on the map; it provides situation awareness in a graphical and textual visualization toolset.

This system is leading the way toward seamless interoperability among all military services with its open architecture, Web-based DCGS Integration Backbone (DIB). The DIB facilitates the distribution of the right information at the right time to maximize operational effectiveness.

"The DCGS Block 10.2 enterprise is about to change everything in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance tasking, processing, exploitation and dissemination," said Mark Bigham, vice president of Business Development, Defense and Civil Mission Solutions. "We are at the pinnacle of adopting everyday social media technologies to intelligence analysts."
