C3I Applied Research
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) investigates, designs, validates, and conducts experimentation to establish technical solutions for creating integrated future equipment and systems that improve resiliency, survivability, operational effectiveness, mobility, sustainability, and readiness of ground forces. This PE provides mid-to-long term tactical Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) capabilities (e.g., networking, cyber, electronic warfare, Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), space, persistent surveillance) based upon promising technologies that address emerging and future threats and includes research critical and unique to the Army and DoD (e.g., atmospheric modeling and meteorological technologies). Applied research investments focus on the design and investigation of materials, processes, technologies, methodologies, and models to establish architectures, systems, and interfaces that enhance and optimize performance on the future battlefield. The outputs of these efforts inform and transition to advanced research efforts that demonstrate improved C3I capabilities. The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
