Background

As the MAF's principal C2 system, GDSS is the execution authority for mission management, providing robust capabilities in a net-centric environment, and allowing access and information sharing across unclassified and classified domains using continuous multi-master replicated databases. GDSS interoperates with Air Force, Army, and Joint C2 systems, and interfaces with other key Department of Defense (DOD), USTRANSCOM, Joint and Air Mobility Command (AMC) C2 and transportation management systems while utilizing the USTRANSCOM Distributed Enclave architecture. GDSS is an extension of the USTRANSCOM network providing a full computing infrastructure to include network, servers, security, and storage. Replication is provided using three near real-time replicated unclassified and classified C2 enclaves for redundancy and performance. GDSS automates the planning, management, and execution of airlift and air refueling missions for over 19,000 users at 250 worldwide locations. GDSS is designed around a client-server environment composed of web applications, server processes, Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) relational database management system, database schema, and supporting utility scripts. GDSS is a USTRANSCOM, Mission Assurance Category (MAC) level one, National Security System (NSS) system which requires a 99.999% availability.
