Second Fleet - The Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

Second Fleet - The Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for the Navy’s Maritime Headquarters with Maritime Operations Center (MHQ with MOC) was signed by the Commander, US Fleet Forces Command (USFFC). This marks the culmination of a year-long effort by the KCG-INC team to formulate and coordinate this ground-breaking publication, and we were there at the point of the spear. KCG members traveled from San Diego to Bahrain to synchronize doctrine between all the component and numbered fleet commanders and principal headquarters.

CEDS - KCG is again working with the General Dynamics Corporation-Advanced Information Systems (GD-AIS) to provide our unique expertise to meet DoD requirements. We are helping them develop the architecture framework, using DODAF, for the Navy’s Common Enterprise Display System (CEDS). The Navy will use CEDS for surface combatants, submarines and aircraft. It is designed to operate in an Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE) where it can effectively communicate with any operating system or program.
