The meeting, which is an opportunity for industry to learn about CERDEC’s core mission and research and development activities, is scheduled for May 2-4 at the Myer Auditorium, here. Those interested should register immediately:

“In order to leverage industry’s creativity and innovation to its fullest potential, the Army must work closely with industry in the earliest stages of the product lifecycle, before requirements are firm and before design concepts are determined,” said CERDEC Director Patrick J. O’Neill. “The sooner industry learns of the Army’s interest in a new capability, the sooner industry can begin to explore or invest in applicable technologies and formulate ideas for Army consideration.”

CERDEC is the Army’s applied research and advanced technology development center for command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR) technologies and systems.

As the Army’s primary integrator of communications-electronics technologies and systems, CERDEC researches and develops advanced technologies and systems in 10 core areas across the C5ISR domain: Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing; Cyberspace Operations; C5ISR Enterprise Support; Electronic Warfare; Counter-IED and Minefield Detection/Defeat; Intelligence, Analysis, Exploitation and Dissemination; Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting; Mission Command Capabilities and Computing Platforms; Tactical and Deployed Power; Tactical and Strategic Networks.

“From our unique vantage point, we foresee trends, recognize opportunities to adapt and mature relevant technological breakthroughs and inform research investments during an era of rapid change,” O’Neill said.
