Abstract

The Global Command and Control System (GCCS) technical architecture serves as a design framework for a global command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) infrastructure. The GCCS accommodates all mission and operational scenarios by allowing users access to C4I resources worldwide through the Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) at any time and any place. The GCCS integrates emerging information systems and elements of the DII in a three-tier client-server distributed computing environment. The GCCS architecture will be designed to satisfy C4I functional requirements and conform to the Technical Reference Model (TRM). The GCCS technical architecture will evolve over time, allowing for the incorporation of technological advances
