The Army’s Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) has announced a technical conference for April.

The two-day technical interchange meeting (TIM) will be held March 31 to April 1. The conference is an opportunity for industry to learn about CERDEC’s core mission, research and development plans and strategies.

“The CERDEC TIM will provide details that will assist attendees in aligning their organization’s research efforts with CERDEC’s mission areas by articulating technical requirements for high-level capabilities and presenting technology roadmaps and CERDEC’s strategies to support these,” said CERDEC.

Breakout sessions will include mission command; tactical and deployed power; tactical and strategic networks; tactical cyberspace operations; electronic warfare; countermine/counter-IED; intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting; and intelligence analysis, exploitation and dissemination.
