SPRINGFIELD, VIRGINIA (BNS): Lockheed Martin’s Defense Readiness Reporting System-Army (DRRS-A) has replaced the US Army Status of Resources and Training System (ASORTS) component within the Global Command and Control System-Army.

Created to track unit status information, DRRS-A improves the Army’s ability to execute its part of the joint and combatant commanders' plans, according to Lockheed Martin.

Through DRRS-A, planners at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Headquarters Army Staff, Combatant Commands, and Army unit levels bridge the knowledge gap between readiness status, war plans and courses of actions, it said.

This network based, streamlined system supports several Army applications in a single location, enabling Army users to perform their assigned missions in near real time.

DRRS-A also follows the Department of Defense net-centric strategy by making Army readiness data visible, accessible and understandable.

As a service oriented architecture web service, DRRS-A allows approved and authorized users to access Army readiness data such as force registration, mobilization and force projection.
