GLOBAL ADAPTIVE PLANNING COLLABORATIVE INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT (GAP CIE) SUSTAINMENT & ENHANCEMENTS

The Global Adaptive Planning Collaborative Information Environment (GAP CIE) is a web-based, collaborative Joint Operation Planning (JOP) tool that supports distributed participants in multiple security enclaves (primarily SIPRNET and JWICS at present). GAP CIE is comprised of two functional components supported by commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software products: the GAP CIE planning environment, and the Global Situational Awareness Tool (GSAT). GSAT provides situational awareness of global events in a sharable, user-defined operational picture for viewing geospatial, temporal, relational, and COA planning data. GSAT allows a look at a battlespace and permits the visualization of real data from authoritative systems of record and other approved sources. The GAP CIE portion provides Deliberate Planning, Crisis Action Planning, and Decision Support tools. Both allow subject matter experts to share situational awareness and collaboratively build integrated, macro COAs. The system automates the construction of orders, messages, and status and decision briefs, freeing planners from format management and focusing their efforts on plan and information quality. The purpose of the GAP CIE Sustainment Program is to provide sustainment, enhancement, and modification deliveries to fielded Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network (ISPAN) GAP CIE Block 1 and Increment 2 capabilities.
