C5ISR is planning to host an engagement event open to all of industry, for the purpose of providing two-way collaboration on current and future technologies. 

Who: The intended audience includes S&T/engineering representatives from active and prospective industry partners. No media will be invited to attend.    

When/Where: The two-date event is projected to be held 25 - 26 July. It will be held fully in-person and at Aberdeen Proving Ground, at both the Myer Auditorium and the APG Recreation Center’s gymnasium. Registration and event details will be shared with industry through SAM.gov and through all relevant professional associations.

Purpose: The event will focus on the Center’s growth areas across all six S&T core competencies. The intent is to remain technology-focused, and not tied to any specific acquisition or contract action(s). The content briefed will better build an industrial base in areas where one presently lacks and identify industry partners for technologies yet undeveloped or initiated, and therefore without a solidified industry relationship. The two-way exchange will aid industry in identifying how best to invest internal research and development funds (IR&D), and surface innovative solutions already being explored by the Center or industry. C5ISR technology leads will share status of current project areas and expand into future growth opportunities across key mission areas. The discussions held will focus on technologies with new starts planned for FY25 through FY27, contributing to building the Army of 2040.

Format: The event will utilize a dual approach in delivery. C5ISR will present investment areas, technology areas worth industry exploration and partnership. The event will then transition to a symposium-style format, with booths representing each technology area across the Center to anchor an exchange.  

We look forward to the relationships, innovative solutions, and collaborative exchange to come from this industry-wide engagement.
