AN/GSQ -272 AIR FORCE DISTRIBUTED COMMON GROUND SYSTEM (AF DCGS )
Collect, process, exploit, and disseminate data, information, and intelligence from Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors such as the U-2, Global Hawk, Predator, and others.
Description
The AN/GSQ-272 Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS) is a network centric weapon system capable of tasking ISR sensors and receiving, processing, exploiting, and disseminating data and information from airborne, national, and commercial platforms and sensors. This weapon system consists of numerous Active Duty, Air National Guard, and mission-partner sites, interconnected by a robust communications structure that enables collaborative reachback ISR operations. AF DCGS operators correlate collected imagery intelligence, signals intelligence, and measurement and signatures intelligence data to provide decision-quality information directly to the Joint Task Force and below, including significant support to timecritical targeting operations.
Provide Joint/Combined Force Air Component Commander’s (JFACC/CFACC’s) primary tool for commanding air and space power.
Description
The AN/USQ-163 Falconer Air and Space Operations Center Weapon System (AOC-WS) is the senior element of the Theater Air Control System. The JFACC/CFACC uses the system for planning, executing and assessing theater-wide air and space operations. The AOC-WS develops operational strategy and planning documents. It also disseminates tasking orders, executes day-to-day peacetime and combat air and space
operations, and provides rapid reaction to immediate situations by exercising positive control of friendly forces.
