3 Who Is FSG? The Federated Software Group, Inc. was Founded in 1992 Solely responsible for GDSS (Legacy) supporting AMC HQ including the TACC since 1992 On December 5, 2008, The Boeing Company Acquired FSG and Merged it Into Tapestry Solutions, Inc. (Also Acquired in 2008) A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of The Boeing Company 3

4 What is GDSS? GDSS combines unit and force level C2 into a single set of integrated easy-to to-use applications providing enhanced mission planning and execution monitoring for all phases of mobility operations (airlift, airdrop, and air refueling). Users can visualize key aspects such as weather, flight plans, diplomatic clearances, and airfield detail to quickly and efficiently determine mission status and make decisions. 4
