HOW WE ALIGN
OUR CHAIN OF COMMAND
The Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center is one of the seven 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
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, Department of War, and other national research organizations to influence research investments and adopt, adapt, and mature new scientific breakthroughs.
HOW WE ARE STRUCTURED
OUR LEADERS
ELIZABETH FERRY
C5ISR CENTER DIRECTOR
As Director, Beth Ferry is responsible for establishing the C5ISR Center’s comprehensive science and technology portfolio providing strategic program formulation guidance involving short-and long-range goals utilizing existing and anticipated state-of-the art advances in communications, mission command, sensors, electronic warfare, intelligence and countermeasure equipment and services.
DR. DONALD REAGO JR.
DIRECTOR, RTI
Dr. Donald Reago Jr. is the Director of the C5ISR Center’s Research and Technology Integration Directorate. In this capacity, he is responsible for planning and executing the Army’s science and technology investments.
DAN DUVAK
ACTING DIRECTOR, ESI
Mr. Dan Duvak is the Acting Director for C5ISR Center’s Engineering and Systems Integration Directorate. He is responsible for leading a world-class enterprise engaged in the life-cycle engineering, systems integration, and lab and field-based experimentation of C5ISR technologies and capabilities.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Our mission is executed through two core directorates.
RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION DIRECTORATE
All science and technology (S&T) portfolios fall under the Research and Technology Integration Directorate (RTI). RTI’s priority is to formulate effective S&T 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.
Soldier and Platform Mission Equipment
Integrates sensors, positioning, navigation and timing for decision dominance.
SPECTRUM DOMINANCE, INTELLIGENCE AND SURVIVABILITY
Helps Soldiers better comprehend their space and detect threats across the cyber and electromagnetic spectrum.
electro-optical and infrared sensors, modeling, PROCESSING AND POWER
Leads Army S&T efforts in electro-optical and infrared sensors, modeling and simulation, and power and energy.
ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION DIRECTORATE
C-UAS, Integration and Experimentation
Lab- and field-based risk reduction as well as prototyping and platform integration.
Networking and Communications
Communicates data and information across a robust tactical network to the tactical edge.
Readiness and Rapid Capabilities
Addresses the operational readiness needs for Army C5ISR systems.
