Who gets it
No single contractor is published as this line's leader. 6 linked award records are listed below. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. Why the crosswalk is partial.

Description

Description — DCGS-A-INTEL

Distributed Common Ground System - Army (DCGS-A) is the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) System of Systems (SoS) for Joint, Interagency, Allied, Coalition, and National data analysis, sharing and collaboration. The core functions of DCGS-A are: the vertical and horizontal synchronization of ISR Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) efforts; operations in a networked environment at multiple security levels; control of select Army and joint sensor systems; fusion of all acquired data and information, and distribution of relevant red (threat), gray (non-aligned), and environmental (weather and terrain) information; and providing the Warfighters' early warning and targeting capability. DCGS-A is fielded in Fixed, Mobile, and Portable configurations emphasizing the use of reach and split based operations by improving accessibility of data in order to reduce forward deployed footprint. DCGS-A hardware and software is based on a combination of Government Off The Shelf (GOTS), Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS), and Non-Developmental Items (NDI) that are integrated into scalable configurations, tailored to Warfighting functions. These product line components include the software baseline, server suite (Intelligence Fusion Server (IFS)) and individual analyst Multi-Function Workstations (MFWS) such as Portable and Fixed MFWS (P-MFWS/F-MFWS). These components are also used to upgrade existing fielded Intel Programs of Record to enable the establishment of the Army Common Operating Environment (COE) while simultaneously assuring system compatibility and interoperability within the DCGS-A enterprise. DCGS-A was formally designated as a Major Automation Information System (MAIS) and is deployed on multiple hardware platforms and security levels across the Army. The DCGS-A Increment 1 Full Deployment Decision (FDD) Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) dated 14 November 2012, authorizes continued deployment of Release 1 capabilities. The DCGS-A Increment 1 Release 2 Fielding Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) was approved by the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) on 4 November 2015 after a successful Follow-On Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) event in May 2015. Full Deployment of DCGS-A Increment 1 Release 1 was declared on 17 June 2019. Overseas Operations Costs (OOC) funds this requirement in FY 2026.

Justification

Justification — DCGS-A-INTEL

FY 2026 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $0.884 million supports maintaining the DCGS-A COTS hardware baseline, ensuring procurable system configurations are available for unit self-funded procurement actions as investments pivot towards modernization and enduring capabilities. Funding also supports continued alignment with Army COE objectives and Army modernization priorities. FY 2026 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $0.203 million supports maintaining the DCGS-A COTS hardware baseline, ensuring procurable system configurations are available for unit self-funded procurement actions in support of the Enduring Requirement for the Operation Spartan Shield (OSS). This is a decrease of $0.070 million from FY 2025.

Follow the dollar

No follow-the-dollar view — none of this program's high-confidence awards records a positive obligation at any place of performance (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →

Related awards

Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →

Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

Contractor concentration

No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.

Lobbying mentions

No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.

Oversight

Department-level designation (not specific to this program)

GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not DCGS-A-INTEL. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.

Program dossier

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
