Vision

We fight for the future -- one teammate, one idea, one technology, one capability at a time.

End-State

DEVCOM secures persistent innovation for a modern Army.

A Team of Teams

DEVCOM is a world-class team of science and technology experts, explorers and developers, fully focused on empowering the future American Soldier. The DEVCOM team consists of U.S. Army Soldiers, Civilians and contractors. Engineers, scientists, technicians and analysts, many of whom are the Army’s leading experts in their fields, form part of the team. They leverage cutting-edge technologies, such as synthetic biology, hypersonic weapons, quantum, energetics, autonomy, robotics and artificial intelligence to empower the American Soldier with the data and ability to see, sense, make decisions and act faster than our adversaries – today and in the future. The composition of the total DEVCOM workforce is: Army Soldiers 1% Army Civilians 53% Contractors 46%

DEVCOM Leadership

DEVCOM Centers and Laboratory

The DEVCOM team comprises eight reporting units and three regionally aligned international elements that work around the globe to make this vision a reality: DEVCOM Analysis Center DEVCOM Armaments Center DEVCOM, Army Research Laboratory DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center DEVCOM C5ISR Center DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center DEVCOM Soldier Center

DEVCOM Forward Elements

DEVCOM Forward Elements serve as the DEVCOM interface to enable decisive Multi-Domain Operations by identifying cooperative science and technology opportunities; facilitating interaction with foreign government and non-government entities and industry; promoting interoperability among allies; and supporting basic and applied research to develop capabilities and partner capacity that support the U.S. Army.

Next Generation Combat Vehicle – DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center serves as the command’s lead integrator with the NGCF CFT, with support from ARL and the C5ISR, Chemical Biological, Armaments, Aviation & Missile and Data & Analysis Centers. Future Vertical Lift – DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center serves as the command’s lead integrator with the FVL CFT, with support from ARL, and the Armaments, C5ISR and Data & Analysis Centers. Army Network and Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing – DEVCOM C5ISR Center serves as the command’s lead integrator with the Net CFT and APNT CFT, with support from the Army Research Laboratory and the Aviation & Missile, Soldier and Data & Analysis Centers. Air and Missile Defense – DEVCOM’s Aviation & Missile Center serves as the command’s lead integrator with the AMD CFT, with support from DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory, DEVCOM Armaments Center, DEVCOM C5ISR Center and DEVCOM Analysis Center. Soldier Lethality and Synthetic Training Environment – DEVCOM Soldier Center serves as the command’s lead integrator with the SL CFT and STE CFT, with support from the Army Research Laboratory and the Armaments, C5ISR and Data & Analysis Centers.

PRIORITY RESEARCH AREAS

DEVCOM’s mission is to continually deliver capabilities by proactively exploring basic and foundational research. DEVCOM defines a Priority Research Area as a research area of particular significance or importance because it aligns with perceived warfighting gaps or opportunities. The goal of Priority Research Areas is to unlock the realm of the possible by expanding the realm of the known to succeed against any adversary to ensure enduring Army modernization. The current Army and DEVCOM Priority Research Areas include: Disruptive Energetics; RF Electronic Materials; Quantum; Hypersonic Flight; Artificial Intelligence; Autonomy; Synthetic Biology; Material by Design; and Science of Additive Manufacturing. PRAs should also have the following key characteristics: Knowledge product deliverable – a living document, and reference, capturing the progression of discoveries to the scientific questions in scope and updated impact to the Army Qualitative dramatic impact – fostering overmatch and characterizing opportunities in the future Army operating environment Ambitious and challenging requiring DEVCOM’s diverse talent working collaboratively in an empowered capacity to investigate the limits of possibility High potential to seed future transformational capabilities and priority research Envisioned to execute with 6.1-6.2 funding

PROJECT CONVERGENCE

Project Convergence is the Joint Force experimenting with speed, range and decision dominance to achieve overmatch, and inform the Joint Warfighting Concept and Joint All Domain Command and Control. It’s a campaign of learning that leverages a series of joint, multi-domain engagements to integrate artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomy to improve battlefield situational awareness, connect sensors with shooters, and accelerate the decision-making timeline. Project Convergence Technology Gateway Technology Gateway is a great opportunity for industry to showcase their emerging      capabilities in an operational environment and engage DEVCOM in preparation for Project Convergence. Army Futures Command welcomes its industry, academia and non-traditional partners to collaborate with them. Technology Collaboration Areas include: Sensor Robotics Effect (kinetic/non-kinetic) Artificial Intelligence | Machine Learning C2 (Maneuver; Fires; Intel) Medical Protection (EW; Physical) Sustainment Communications (SATCOM; Aerial; Terrestrial) Autonomy Cloud Computing Assured PNT Planning Potential Partnership Mechanisms include: ·  Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) ·  Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs) ·  Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Program ·  Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Program ·  Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) ·  Many other opportunities to explore
