The Portfolio Roadmaps/Special Topics sessions will provide insight into CERDEC's current science and technology roadmaps in the following mission areas: • Mission Command - Research, develop and engineer advanced computing platforms, software architectures and visualization systems • Tactical and Deployed Power - Advance the generation, storage, management and distribution of Soldier and mobile power and energy as required for training, moving and sustaining military forces and weapons platforms for military operations • Tactical Cyberspace Operations - Provide capabilities that protect the network and enable capabilities that deny or manipulate information and infrastructure for intelligence protection, collection and other efforts • Electronic Warfare - Extend capabilities to dynamically sense, protect and control the electromagnetic spectrum and deny its use by adversaries • Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting - Provide advanced collection capabilities that adapt to changes in the operational environment and strategically narrow precision and focus based on signatures of interest • Intelligence Analysis, Exploitation & Dissemination - Enable systematic processes to discover, select, organize, distill, share, develop and use information to provide a holistic understanding of the enemy and the enemy's environment while conducting full-spectrum operations • Countermine/Counter-IED - Provide dismounted forces and ground and air platforms with the ability to detect, identify and mitigate IEDs, landmines, minefields and other explosive hazards and obstacles • Tactical and Strategic Networks - Enable networks and networking technologies that transport, secure, manage, filter, and analyze data from numerous Army, Joint and Coalition intelligence and information sources INTENTION: In order to exploit industry creativity and innovation, the Army must work more closely with industry in the earliest stages of the product lifecycle, before requirements are firm and before design concepts are determined. The sooner industry learns of the Army's interest in a new capability, the sooner industry can begin to explore or invest in applicable technologies and formulate ideas for Army consideration. The intent of the sessions will be to enhance Government-and-industry communication and enable industry to quickly respond to emerging requirements with innovative technology solutions and partnerships. This event will serve as the kick-off meeting, designed to: • Assist industry in identifying and aligning efforts with CERDEC's Mission Areas • Articulate high-level capabilities and their derived technical requirements • Present technology roadmaps and CERDEC's strategies to fulfill these needs FINAL NOTES: Information presented during the event is for planning purposes, does not represent a pre-solicitation synopsis, does not constitute an invitation for bid or request for proposal, and is not a commitment by the government to purchase the desired products and services. The event is currently planned to be held at the Unclassified - For Official Use Only level. Further distribution statements may apply but final determination has not been made at this time. Registration is anticipated to open 1 February and close 28 February. Due to the high-level of interest in this event, registration is will be limited. It is anticipated the limit will be set to no more than three (3) at this time. While priority registration will be given to industry, the forum is also open to academia and other government organizations.
