Developing a one-stop source for AF Distributed Common Ground
System operational, planning and programming documentation FAIRFAX,
Va., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc.
(NYSE:SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic
consulting services and solutions to government organizations and
commercial clients, today announced it has been awarded a project
by the U.S. Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (AF/A2) valued at $19 million over
three years if all tasks are exercised. Under the contract, SRA
will develop a one-stop source that will improve the planning,
programming and operational employment of AF reconnaissance
equipment and the AF Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS). DCGS
is the AF's weapon system that provides critical combat or other
operational activity decision-making information to the Joint Task
Force and component commanders below. Building on the Air Force's
web-enabled intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)
database, SRA will design interfaces allowing direct user input to
the enterprise architecture database, along with models that
perform independent analysis and experimentation while maintaining
data integrity. This analytical capability will provide the AF team
with the ability to make policy, functional and programmatic
decisions related to the continuing development, fielding and
operation of the DCGS enterprise. "Timely analysis and
dissemination of information are challenges for the Air Force
warfighter in combat situations," said SRA Vice President Anna
Hogan. "With over a decade of DCGS modeling and simulation
experience, SRA's web-enabled system will provide quick analysis of
various reconnaissance data flows, communications capacities,
ground crew composition and other key components to the Air Force."
