MODERNIZATION AND ENTERPRISE COLLABORATION


Finally, our Product Realization Systems Engineering and Quality Assurance Directorate (PRD) and our Software Engineering Directorate (SED) both provided key life cycle engineering and sustainment services to the C5ISR community, including program execu- tive offices and life cycle management commands. PRD provided technical support and leadership throughout all phases of the product life cycle and SED conceptualized, developed and supported the fielding and sustainment of software products, services and technologies.

Device Electronic Warfare (CREW) Duke Version 3, the Vigilant Pursuit multi-intelligence system and the Warlock countermeasure protection system.


Our Space and Terrestrial Commu- nications Directorate made numerous contributions to support and enable the network. Among these were the research and development leading to the first gener- ation of military mesh network radio communications systems, all the way up to the next-generation Warrior Robust Enhanced Network (WREN) waveform, which significantly improves communica- tions range, network scalability, spectrum supportability, secure communications and resiliency.


Our Command, Power and Integra- tion Directorate (CPID) provided a


unique set of core competencies in mission command, operational energy and posi- tioning, navigation and timing to develop, integrate and deliver innovative technol- ogy solutions. It developed the Distributed Analysis and Visualization Infrastruc- ture for C4I, known as DaVinci, which provided a scalable digital command and control system with battle planning and execution monitoring functions. DaVinci- based products were used in Operation Iraqi Freedom and ultimately replaced the battle planning and visualization system used by III Corps, 4th Infantry Divi- sion, XVIII Airborne Corps and United States Forces Korea. CPID also played a key role in maturing a chip-scale atomic clock to support highly accurate location and battlefield situational awareness for weapons, weapon systems and dismounted Soldiers in the temporary absence of GPS.


While these directorates had many successes, they were largely function- focused within specific technology areas and lacked the cross-collaboration neces- sary to provide integrated support to multidomain operations and JADC2. It was evident that a model focused on S&T portfolio integration—mirror- ing the framework seen elsewhere in DEVCOM—would better enable internal and external collaboration, broaden our system-of-systems engineering approach to problem solving, and strengthen our abil- ity to address more complex challenges and opportunities.


C5ISR Center missions are now stream- lined into two core directorates, both headed by a member of the Senior Execu- tive Service. Te Research and Technology Integration Directorate is led by Dr.


There’s never been a better time to align to the future.
