What the notice says

U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center 2026 Industry Expo The C5ISR Center is hosting an engagement event open to all of industry, for the purpose of providing two-way collaboration on current and future technologies. Who: The intended audience includes active and prospective industry partners. No media will be invited to attend. When/Where: The two-day event is Tuesday 25 August � Wednesday 26 August. It will be held fully in-person at Aberdeen Proving Ground, … (show all)

in both the Myer Auditorium and the APG Recreation Center gymnasium. Purpose: The Army has been undergoing significant change over the last year focused heavily on increasing the speed with which capabilities are delivered to Soldiers and reducing bureaucratic challenges along the way. Through ongoing Continuous Transformation and Acquisition Reform, paired with strategic organizational realignments for Forge Generation, Force Development and Force Design, the Army is adapting faster than ever to sustain asymmetric advantage and remain resilient against emerging threats. A key tenet to the success of these efforts is the close partnership and collaboration with the Army�s industrial base. This year�s Industry Expo will offer insights to critical science and technology (S&T) efforts across the Center�s core competencies and aid industry in identifying how to best invest internal research and development (IR&D) funds supporting these activities. Format: The event will utilize a dual approach in delivery. The C5ISR Center will present key S&T efforts and investment / technology thrust areas through panels and slide presentations (day one) and then transition to a symposium-style format (day two) with booths representing technology areas across the Center to facilitate a two-way dialogue. Registration: Each business entity (per each CAGE Code) will be entitled to register five (5) representatives to attend the event. Registration opens 0900 on Monday 15 June 2026 and may be accessed through the following link: https://c5isrcenter.devcom.army.mil/c5isr-expo-2026/.
