that rely on these advancements, and it consolidates our modeling and simulation environments to support all elements of the center’s mission via comprehensive, high-fidelity system representations that enable rapid analysis, prototyping and experimentation. Finally, the RTI direc- torate hosts our world-class talent center for advanced image and signal processing technologies as well as artificial intelli- gence and machine learning across our entire domain space.

RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION All science and technology (S&T) portfo- lios fall under the Research and Technology Integration Directorate (RTI). RTI’s prior- ity 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.


RTI will improve S&T accountability and enable a strong management framework, with one leader responsible for project oversight, adjustments to meet emerg- ing requirements, technology transition and delivery, and technical and financial planning, programming and execution. It

also brings together many complementary areas of applied research and advanced technology development previously spread across the center.


For example, under RTI we’ve combined the development of advanced sensors for ground and Soldier platforms with posi- tion, navigation and timing capabilities to address emerging sensor-to-shooter requirements in the JADC2 environ- ment. To improve our contributions to the Army’s cyber strategy, we’ve consol- idated our efforts supporting offensive and defensive cyber operations. We also combined our teams working within the radio frequency spectrum to leverage their common expertise, and better support both blue (friendly) force communica- tions and red (enemy) force sense, jam and defeat capabilities. RTI now hosts our research efforts in power and energy storage, generation and distribution capabilities alongside our S&T projects


ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION Te Engineering and Systems Integration (ESI) Directorate is streamlining and synchronizing our lab- and field-based experimentation and life cycle engineer- ing. Tis synergy, which runs from basic research through technology maturation and post-production support, provides an improved systems engineering approach to capability development, production and sustainment. Te directorate will also help to clearly define and shape the way we experiment, collect data and inform stakeholders. Te combined approach allows stakeholders to make informed decisions that best support Army modern- ization priorities.


ESI will enhance experimentation by bringing together all lab- and field-based risk reduction, prototyping and plat- form integration capabilities under a single directorate. Tis will better inform engineering designs across the S&T and acquisition communities and demonstrate how emerging technologies will actually perform in relevant, threat-based opera- tional environments. ESI will also help the Army to holistically understand the nuances of delivering and validating data across a network that is joint and interop- erable, while exploring how to manage and securely transmit trustworthy data as it traverses the Army’s network in a
