OUSD(R&E) Fully Networked Command, Control and Communications (FNC3) Industry Engagement Days

These meetings will be held at the SCI Level. The Assistant Director for Fully Networked Command, Control, and Communications (AD, FNC3) in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSDR&E) and his team are interested in entering into a dialogue with industry about DoD's vision and strategy for the FNC3 modernization and interoperability priorities aligned with the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS). The overarching objective of the NDS is to modernize future C3 capabilities based on transformational technologies and systems. A top priority for FNC3 modernization and interoperability encompassing an array of users, platforms, systems, and sub-systems, is both to champion and pursue new capabilities, concepts, and prototyping activities throughout the DoD research and development enterprise and accelerate capabilities to the Joint warfighter. The Department considers industry a vital part of the team to address these challenges. OUSD(R&E) is hosting FNC3 industry days on 24 and 25 July 2019. On the first day, industry will hear from DoD officials on enablers, programs, and Military Service and OUSD(R&E) portfolios. The Government welcomes feedback during the day from industry participants. In the afternoon on day 1 and on the second day, industry will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with team members and the AD, FNC3 on several key topics and share their most innovative ideas. Note: FNC3 Industry Days will be held at the Classified SCI level.
