U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center 2025 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. 1. Who: The intended audience includes active and prospective industry partners. No media will be invited to attend. 2. When/Where: The two-day event is Tuesday 10 June – Wednesday 11 June. It will be held fully in-person at Aberdeen Proving Ground, in both the Myer Auditorium (Building 6000) and the APG Recreation Center gymnasium (Building 3326). 3. Purpose: The event will focus on the Center’s growth areas across all six S&T core competencies. The intent is to remain technology-focused and not tied to any specific acquisition or contract action(s). The content briefed will better build an industrial base in areas where one presently lacks and identify industry partners for technologies yet undeveloped or initiated, and therefore without a solidified industry relationship. The two-way exchange will aid industry in identifying how best to invest internal research and development funds (IR&D), and surface innovative solutions already being explored by the Center or industry. C5ISR Center technology leads will share status of current project areas and expand into future growth opportunities across key mission areas. The discussions held will focus on technologies with new starts planned for FY27 through FY29, contributing to building the Army of 2040. 4. Format: The event will utilize a dual approach in delivery. The C5ISR Center will present investment areas, technology areas worth industry exploration and partnership (day one). The event will then transition to a symposium-style format (day two), with booths representing technology areas across the Center to anchor an exchange. For the second day’s expo, industry may attend the morning session. The afternoon session of day two is reserved for government organizational partners or internal C5ISR attendees. 5. Registration: Each business entity (per each CAGE Code) will be entitled to register five (5) representatives to attend the event.
