Stennis'' (CVN-74)]].]] GCCS evolved from earlier predecessors such as TBMCS (Theater Battle Management Core Systems), Joint Operations Tactical System (JOTS), and Joint Maritime Command Information System (JMCIS). It fulfilled requirements for technological, procedural and security improvements to the aging [[Worldwide Military Command and Control System]] (WWMCCS) plus its [[Tempest (codename)\|TEMPEST]] requirement of Cold War defenses from wiretapping and electromagnetic signal interception that include physical (special wire and cabinet shielding, double locks) and operational (special access passes and passwords) measures.

Some next-generation applications designed for GCCS may support collaboration using chat systems, newsgroups, and email. (See JOPES, Mob/ODEE, etc.) Line 15: GCCS may use [[NIPRNet]], [[SIPRNet]], [[Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System\|JWICS]], or other [[Internet Protocol\|IP]] based networks for connectivity. In some installations, GCCS aggregates over 94 different sources of data.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.govexec.com/features/0606-01/0606-01s3.htm \|title=Netcentric In a Snap \|accessdate=2008-07-06 \|archive-date=2008-07-25 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080725053723/http://govexec.com/features/0606-01/0606-01s3.htm \|url-status=dead }}</ref> ==Components/~~Variants~~variants== * GCCS-A [[United States Army\|Army]] * GCCS-AF [[United States Air Force\|Air Force]]
