The GCSS-MC Forward (GMF) prototype was designed from the ground up for Delayed/Disconnected, Intermittently Connected, Low-Bandwidth (DIL) network environments. During the weeklong demonstration, GMF performed the “fastest” the Marine Corps evaluators had seen. The prototype easily handled sending data across the most disadvantaged communications networks.
IR Tech successfully demonstrated:
- GMF’s ability to enable users to access extended GCSS-MC functions over low bandwidth links using standard Marine Corps browsers.
- Exchanging data with the GCSS-MC Enterprise system over DIL communication links using our Mesh Lightweight Transfer Protocol (MLTP).
- The ability to manage multiple unit logistics combat service support requirements from a single small form factor portable server and a non-specialized commercial off-the-shelf laptop as hosts for its virtual machine instance.
GMF displayed IR Tech’s ability to rapidly adapt its SituX LogC2 platform to support customer requirements as well as our continued commitment to provide logistics information enablers to the Marine Corps, other military services, and organizations that defend our country and provide humanitarian and disaster aid and support in any clime and place.
This pilot project was completed under the GCSS-MC Disconnected Other Transaction Agreement (OTA).
