In March, the chapter hosted a technology engagement discussion with Chuck Hoppe, associate director for science, technology & engineering, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR). He is responsible for oversight of the organization's science, technology, and engineering portfolio.
The C5ISR Center is an Army applied research and advanced technology development center under the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, or DEVCOM, which is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Futures Command.
The DEVCOM C5ISR Center discovers and develops innovative technologies that enable information superiority and tactical overmatch for our country's most important customer: our joint forces. As the Army's primary integrator of C5ISR technologies and systems, the center conducts applied Research and Development, or R&D, across a wide variety of capability areas that touch all six of the Army's modernization priorities.
Hoppe shared how the recent DEVCOM Future of Work Study allows the command to adapt to a new norm and move forward based on feedback from the workforce. He also touched on the importance of Cooperative Research and Development Agreements, or CRADAs, sharing that the center has 107 such agreements. CRADAs are a key technology transfer mechanism for removing barriers to collaboration, obtaining long-term value, and high returns on R&D investments. Lastly, Hoppe gave the audience a multidomain facility overview.
