United States Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center

**HOW WE ALIGN** **OUR CHAIN OF COMMAND** The Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center is one of the eight science and technology domains within the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM). Headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, the C5ISR Center features more than 1.4 million square feet of state-of-the-art laboratories, test beds, and integration facilities. These feature extended connectivity to national labs and other military research organizations across the country. **HOW WE SUPPORT** **ARMY ORGANIZATIONS** We support all six Army modernization priorities and all eight Army cross-functional teams (CFTs). We are continually supporting cross-functional teams and program executive offices in the Army’s modernization efforts. **JOINT PARTNERS** Our role is to find solutions and deliver capabilities that span the entire domain of C5ISR networks and systems regardless of the platform. We work closely with industry, academia, DoD, and other national research organizations to influence research investments and adopt, adapt, and mature new scientific breakthroughs. **OUR ORGANIZATION** Our mission is executed through two core directorates. **RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION DIRECTORATE** All science and technology (ST) portfolios fall under the Research and Technology Integration Directorate (RTI). RTI’s priority is to formulate effective ST programs that are innovative, responsive to customer needs, structured to produce outputs that we can give to Soldiers for experimentation and refinement, and designed to produce technologies that our acquisition partners can easily transition and integrate. **ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION DIRECTORATE** The Engineering and Systems Integration (ESI) Directorate is streamlining and synchronizing our lab- and field-based experimentation and life-cycle engineering. This synergy, which runs from basic research through technology maturation and post-production support, provides an improved systems engineering approach to capability development, production and sustainment. The directorate will also help to clearly define and shape the way we experiment, collect data and inform stakeholders. The combined approach allows stakeholders to make informed decisions that best support Army modernization priorities.
