But what happens when an invisible enemy severs communications at the tactical edge? A team of electronics specialists and computer engineers with the U.S. Army’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center delivered the answer to the 4th Infantry Division at the Ivy Mass large-scale training exercise this past April and May at Fort Carson, Colorado and the nearby Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site. During a series of vulnerability assessments of the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control network, the team used a ground-breaking technology known as the real-time network effects emulator, or RNEE, to provide simulated electronic warfare effects in denied, degraded, intermittent and limited, DDIL, environments across various communication networks. These vulnerability assessments are critical to expediting the fielding of NGC2, helping to close capability gaps, ensure the technologies work and adapt effectively to real-world conditions, and validate the architecture against critical operational requirements. Training against a contested electromagnetic spectrum is usually incredibly difficult, often requiring extensive coordination through local and federal agencies to avoid disrupting civilian infrastructure. Using a small, ruggedized device, RNEE is installed directly in line with key tactical vehicle communications systems — a “bump in the cable” solution — to mimic the effects of radio frequency jamming and simulating contested network conditions without radiating in the spectrum or disrupting live satellite or cellular commercial networks. Validating the Contested Network The Ivy Mass training exercise was an ideal venue to operate this technology at scale for the first time. For 4ID Soldiers, RNEE created a challenging and highly realistic problem space. When a network goes down, Soldiers must rapidly determine the cause: is it a broken cable, an organic hardware failure, or an active enemy cyber/electronic warfare attack? Once communications are disrupted, units must execute their PACE plan, transitioning from primary to alternate, contingency, and emergency systems. During Ivy Mass, this meant Soldiers and their NGC2 systems had to adapt on the fly. RNEE was deployed within 4ID formations to create an embedded “contested transport” layer for the division’s NGC2 ecosystem. This enables assessment of smart routing, transport resilience and mission command continuity under sustained electronic warfare conditions. Currently, RNEE is a method

(July 22, 2026) — As the war in Ukraine and ongoing global conflicts demonstrate, the rapid proliferation of agile, armed unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) has fundamentally transformed modern warfare. Seen up close, the ability of UASs to seemingly swoop in out of nowhere and drop a bomb on your head is astounding. In direct alignment with the Secretary of War’s guiding principles of urgency, speed, efficiency, competition and lethality, the U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center is taking a leading role in ensuring our forces maintain absolute battlefield overmatch. By driving collaboration with defense technology developers, the Center is rapidly delivering next-generation capabilities that will protect warfighters against these evolving lethal threats. May 18-29, the Center executed its first-ever counter-small unmanned aircraft systems (C-sUAS) event, known as Warden, a collaborative government and industry assessment held at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. It served as a venue for data collection, demonstration and evaluation of non-kinetic drone defeat technologies. Over the course of a week and half, a team of C5ISR Center counter-UAS experts collected data and performed field assessments of Technology Level Readiness (TRL) 5+ systems against various UASs flying mock attack runs. For the 17 industry partners in attendance, Warden presented a unique opportunity to test their C-UAS systems against multiple types of aerial threats in real-world scenarios. They pitted their lasers, radio frequency (RF) jammers, and an intercept UAS against more than a dozen types of UASs using a variety of realistic attack patterns, including a swarm of drones. During these challenges industry was constantly collecting performance data to refine and improve the systems and underlying algorithms.

(Photo Credit: Dan Lafontaine, C5ISR Center Public Affairs) ❮ ❯ Once the data was collected, each industry participant submitted their findings to the Center for comparison to the actual UAS flight paths for ground truthing. By comparing this data against a verified baseline, C5ISR Center experts can assess each system’s performance against newly established performance criteria recently established by the Department of War and the Committee on Homeland and National Security of the National Science and Technology Council. Called ‘The Standard Guidelines for Test and Evaluation of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technologies,’ it establishes an apples-to-apples comparison for the industry participants to further refine their systems. Improvements made as a result of Warden include detecting and identifying incoming UAS threats from longer standoff distances for better force protection; updated sensor algorithms to create more resilient C-UAS solutions; and enhancements to make it easier to share data between the sensors, warfighters in the field and command and control. Other improvements aim to make sensor and laser effector systems easier for dismounted squads to use. These enhancements will deliver low size, weight and power systems that can be rifle-mounted or paired with wearable sensors to keep Soldiers’ hands free while jamming. Some advances in technology demonstrated at Warden are truly next generation, including systems that search for UASs’ electronic signatures by finding the uplinks to the controllers and the downlinks to the video feeds. In some cases, the sensor system operator could see where a UAS is looking and even view the video feed itself at the same time as the UAS operator. Another system in development fuses inputs from multiple counter-UAS sensors with 3-D terrain and signal propagation analysis to turn multiple raw sensor inputs into a clearer, higher-confidence operational picture for the Soldier. The C5ISR Center organizers fully appreciated the value of collaboration, which combined with a sense of friendly competition to find the best-of-breed solutions for protecting America’s warfighters. And it was not only industry that reaped benefits of the Warden event. The event’s project manager, Clint Farrell said, “As an honest broker assessing these technologies, the C5ISR Center is able to learn, transparently, which systems are mature and where there are still gaps that industry needs to apply future investments.” C5ISR Center Director Beth Ferry agreed. “Working together with industry, we are finding the best C-UAS technology for our Soldiers: high performance, low weight, easy data sharing. There are no failures for our industry partners, just opportunities to improve and ensure they meet Soldiers’ needs.” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center is the Army’s applied research and advanced technology development center for C5ISR capabilities.

(Michael Stanka) ❮ ❯ ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (July 7, 2026) —  Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2), the U.S. Army’s flagship continuous transformation effort relies on a partnership with industry to identify the most promising technologies and make the best investment decisions for rapid capability development and delivery. The Army’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center supported that effort through its “Radio Rodeo.” Held from March through April of this year, the rodeo consisted of a series of simulated battlefield communications challenges using the Center’s unique laboratory and testing infrastructure to create the effects of denied, disrupted, intermittent and limited bandwidth caused by an adversary. These challenges were directed against emerging radio capabilities from more than a half-dozen industry partners, designed to assess their communications systems’ ability to keep Soldiers depending on them in the fight. The goal is to ensure that U.S. forces are the most lethal force in any conflict. Good communications in battle is essential to that. The sooner industry technology developers learn about the vulnerabilities in their radios, the faster the Army is able to field the warfighter with a better radio. Historically, formal operational or developmental test cycles could take years and were often not aligned to industry’s research and development timelines or the Army’s unit equipping schedule. The Radio Rodeo, and potential follow-on events, rapidly accelerate this process down to months, if not weeks. According to George Palafox, the senior engineer for the effort, “This is testing performed at the speed of need for industry technology developers.” According to C5ISR Center Director Beth Ferry, “The Radio Rodeo is unlocking the best of both industry technology development and the Army’s science and technology workforce. Working together, we are establishing the Army’s best path forward for investing in these capabilities.” The rodeo subjected industry radios to simulated degrading effects in the Center’s cutting-edge Combined Joint Systems Integration Laboratory, followed by systematic field testing. C5ISR Center engineers then analyzed the data they collected to assess the resilience of each radio, culminating in one-on-one engagements with each industry team to give them a detailed report on their radio system’s performance. During this sequence, the Center’s industry partners get real-time feedback and have the opportunity to make fixes on the fly in collaboration with Army technical experts during the field testing phase. Through these rodeos, the C5ISR Center team members learn alongside industry partners. And, in turn, the Army learns. Industry partners get the benefit of timely performance evaluations and a heads up on any imminent changes in Army requirements. This helps them make the most of their internal research and development budgets. Another benefit of these rodeos is the value of collaborative technology development between government and industry. The Army gets the best available technology in the hands of Soldiers much faster. Other divisions at the C5ISR Center are developing the same methodology — in-depth vendor product testing followed by technical exchanges to advance other areas of defense technology such as 5G communications, wireless power and antennas.

(June 10, 2026) — The energy demand from Soldier’s electronic devices continually grows as the Army develops more advanced tech to meet demands of today’s battlefields. Researchers are exploring quieter, wearable power systems as part of multiple projects to power Soldiers. The Army’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center leads this effort to reduce the number and weight of batteries that Soldiers carry over extended missions. Army scientists and engineers are developing the Soldier Wearable Power Generator 2.0, which weighs less than 3 pounds and fits into a rucksack. “Adding methanol water to the system enables on-the-move charging of electronics while reducing logistics re-supply issues. The SWPG goal is to allow multiple days of operations while powering an average load of Soldier-worn and -carried electronics,” said C5ISR Center research engineer Dr. Richard Scenna. “A Soldier would save about 20 pounds of battery weight.” The SWPG is one component of the Center’s R&D initiatives to deliver greater power technology to Soldiers. “The C5ISR Center’s efforts across a diverse team of mechanical, chemical and electrochemical subject-matter experts is a force multiplier for advancing the Army’s tactical power solutions,” said C5ISR Center Director Beth Ferry. “It creates a complete picture of the technical challenges, such as power demand and integration. Our S&T expertise enables us to share and understand Soldier feedback, preferences and challenges to quickly transition research into advanced solutions.” TECHNOLOGY Broad Technical Expertise Army C5ISR Center personnel demonstrate the Soldier Wearable Power Generator 2.0 prototype at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, in May 2026.

(Photo Credit: Daniel Lafontaine) ❮ ❯ In recent years, subject-matter experts have worked with industry to improve the prototype’s performance while reducing the weight, size and noise level based on Soldier feedback during limited user test events for the system’s form, fit and function. Researchers will continue Soldier testing of the devices and are in close communication with an Airborne Division to be the first to demonstrate this new capability. Initial research focused on integrating early SWPG prototypes to charge the thin, flexible Conformal Wearable Battery that Soldiers wear on their vests as a central power source for radios, night-vision devices, weapons and more, Scenna said. An emerging R&D focus area is charging uncrewed aircraft systems, which are growing rapidly in the scale and importance of modern warfare. To keep large numbers of UAS batteries charged across a wide variety of combat conditions and scenarios, integrating wearable power systems is a viable solution. “In the past, power generation was limited to loud diesel generators located in the rear echelon to avoid giving away Soldiers’ positions,” Scenna said. “With the advent of new, advanced equipment that Soldiers need to carry, power is now required at the front, which requires a new type of mobile power generation technology to avoid detection.” —————————— The U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center is the Army’s applied research and advanced technology development center for C5ISR capabilities.

(June 4, 2026) — To defeat adversaries’ explosive hazards on today’s battlefield, U.S. Army researchers are integrating the latest advances in artificial intelligence to deliver greater lethality and survivability to Soldiers. With Soldiers facing increasingly sophisticated and complex threats, Army scientists and engineers are developing capabilities to enable persistent ground situational awareness for maximum force protection. The Army’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center leads the Ground-based Multi-Mission Payload project. Breaching minefields has historically been one of the most dangerous tasks for troops. By automating the monotonous and fatiguing task of manual threat scanning, Soldiers can focus their attention on the broader tactical environment while easing the cognitive load. While unmanned aerial systems can cover wide areas, ground systems remain essential to detect threats aerial assets can’t see. “Our S&T and technical expertise across core competencies including advanced sensing, intelligence, and command and control are delivering critical advantages for our Soldiers — situational awareness, enhanced operational speed, and safety,” said C5ISR Center Director Beth Ferry.

An AI model detects, classifies, and reports explosive threats in real-time, integrating seamlessly into the Tactical Assault Kit ecosystem that populates a common operating picture for the entire team, both inside the vehicles and in the command post. Soldiers can identify hazards from a safe standoff distance, turning hours of manual scanning into a millisecond-fast automated process. “The system incorporates a government-developed and -owned open AI architecture built by Army subject-matter experts,” Johnson said of the project’s plans for multi-algorithm support. “The Army can add the best algorithms from any source, at any time. The concept remains relevant into the future with the ability to incorporate new technologies as they emerge.” C5ISR Center Countermine Ground to Ground Portfolio lead Dr. Amin Abbasi Baghbadorani said another project goal is transitioning from current counter-explosive systems that are often built with proprietary software and hardware while limited to a single purpose. “GMMP is based on a modular concept to integrate commercial off-the-shelf hardware,” Abbasi Baghbadorani said. “Its open architecture is designed for rapid adaptation to new vehicles, sensors, and AI algorithms. The capabilities can be used with any platform and are easy to transition.” Working with noncommissioned officers assigned to the Center is critical to providing Soldiers with the best tools for lethality and survivability, Johnson said. “Feedback from NCOs has been incredible as we get feedback on-site,” Johnson said. “We’re able to make changes the same day and update the systems. It’s optimized the speed and pace of our project.” Sgt. 1st Class Michael Havens, a C5ISR Center enlisted adviser, is working with the project’s scientists and engineers to bring his operational expertise as a network communication systems specialist into the technology development cycle. “There’s an instant feedback loop,” Havens said. “What we do as enlisted Soldiers for C5ISR Center is they will give us their technology, show us how operate it, and run us through scenarios. We’ll tell them how to design the system to make it easier to use, more functional. Situational awareness is

(Photo Credit: Daniel Lafontaine) ❮ ❯ ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (May 26, 2026) — As Army researchers develop advanced batteries for Soldiers, the new CFx battery is headed to the field to power a myriad of equipment, including radios and equipment for imaging, targeting, and counter-explosive devices. The Army’s CFx battery – which units can procure beginning this year – provides Soldiers with a substantial increase in energy, while reducing weight, in a standardized form factor to meet the demands of the increasing network of next-generation technology. Research and collaboration among Army’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center; Communications-Electronics Command; and industry have led to the CFx non-rechargeable lithium battery, which is designed as a drop-in replacement for equipment that uses the xx90 series of batteries. According to C5ISR Center Director Beth Ferry, this advancement is a critical component of the service’s broader effort to enhance Soldier lethality, improve operational readiness, and streamline logistics. “By leveraging battery integration expertise and C5ISR relationships across Army and industry, we are expediting the adoption and fielding of standard batteries,” Ferry said. “This is leading to tangible benefits for Soldiers at all echelons.” TECHNOLOGY Streamlining Logistics Army C5ISR Center personnel test the new CFx battery at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, on May 12, 2026.

(Photo Credit: Daniel Lafontaine) ❮ ❯ The battery is equipped with a System Management Bus interface that transforms it from a simple power source into a smart component of the Soldier’s networked gear, according to electronics engineer Ari Herman. “Our efforts are not just about adding raw power; it’s also about intelligent power management,” Herman said. “This ‘smart’ capability allows the CFx battery to communicate with the equipment it is powering, providing real-time data from the battery’s internal monitoring system for an accurate, real-time display of the battery’s state of charge.” The CFx battery follows the rollout last year of the Small Tactical Universal Battery that delivers eight sizes of batteries to provide tailorable amounts of energy depending on Soldiers’ mission needs. The STUB powers Soldier-worn or -carried equipment, such as night-vision goggles, GPS devices and weapon sights. The Army updated the MIL-PRF-32271 specification, under which the CFx battery is defined, in 2025 to incorporate the latest technical requirements and lessons learned for non-rechargeable lithium batteries. In addition, the Army has published MIL-STD-3078 (Interoperability Standard for Batteries Utilized in Army Equipment), which defines the battery types for new system design. C5ISR Center maintains the document that is updated as new standard battery form factors are required to meet emerging needs. “By adhering to standards like MIL-STD-3078, the Army can streamline research and development, reduce costs by leveraging existing battery platforms, and focus on the continuous improvement of these standardized batteries, ensuring they remain at the forefront of technology while maintaining backward compatibility,” said Scott Mahoney, a C5ISR Center branch chief.

(May 22, 2026) — The Army’s R&D advancements in 5G network capability are delivering advancements for the 25th Infantry Division’s communications infrastructure during recent exercises, supporting the evolution of the service’s Next-Generation Command and Control (NGC2) prototype effort. As part of the 25th ID’s Lightning Surge experimentation series at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Army researchers and acquisition teams are integrating commercial 5G technology to significantly improve operational connectivity, leading to command and control breakthroughs. During Lightning Surge 2, Soldiers successfully executed a realistic battlefield test of the division’s modernization objective to complete the first end-to-end simulated fires mission on an M777 Howitzer over a private 5G network. Data and Soldier feedback from the exercise are being used in support of Lightning Surge 3, in the Philippines, and to inform other NGC2 exercises, including the Ivy Sting exercise series supported by the 4th Infantry Division. The Army’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center and acquisition stakeholders partnered with the 25th Infantry Division and industry to integrate the 5G capability into the NGC2 ecosystem for successful assessments. “Our research in networking and communications is enabling the Army to develop the technological infrastructure to establish NGC2,” C5ISR Center Director Beth Ferry said. “Coupled with real-world operational feedback, the C5ISR Center’s technical expertise is driving solutions for some of the Army’s most complex network challenges.” Together, this Army team-of-teams demonstrated a tangible method for modernizing legacy platforms by bridging them with next-generation communication pathways while addressing 25th ID’s critical learning demands, said Emanuel Merulla, a C5ISR Center senior engineer who leads the project’s research. “The hands-on training with 25th ID Soldiers produced an immediate feedback loop that allowed rapid refinement of the concept of operations on-site, ensuring the capability was not just technically functional but operationally trusted and understood by the end user,” Merulla said. Forward observers used a digital device to send target data into the network, which appeared on a shared common operating picture at the command post. Transitioning to an automated digital process eliminated the need for manual data entry into the fires system, which enabled a significant improvement in accuracy, lethality and survivability while shortening the time it takes to execute the mission. Concurrently, personnel transmitted electronic warfare sensor data over the same 5G network, demonstrating the system’s versatility. The C5ISR Center has led the Army’s adaptation of 5G technology for tactical use, working closely with industry and Army partners, according to the Center’s 5G lead Mike Piesen. Scientists and engineers are experimenting, testing and refining 5G capabilities in the lab and during events such as the Army’s annual Network Modernization Experiment in New Jersey. “Advancements allow for more connected devices to the network with faster real-time data processing. As the Army matures 5G capabilities, the goal is to keep units interconnected despite austere conditions, environmental and geographical challenges, or interference from enemy forces,” Piesen said. “As the military brings robotics, unmanned aerial systems, and autonomous platforms into the same area of the battlefield, the high spectral efficiency of 5G becomes critical.” TECHNOLOGY Technical Expertise Army C5ISR Center engineers Shashi Dulal and Emanuel Merulla conduct 5G research at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, on March 16, 2026.

(Photo Credit: John Martinez, C5ISR Center Public Affairs) ❮ ❯ FORT BELVOIR, Va. — To meet the technological demands of unmanned aerial systems on today’s battlefield, Army researchers are delivering advanced optics that provide significantly higher resolution imaging at longer ranges. The Army’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center is leveraging its broad expertise in electro-optic/infrared research to bring enhanced capabilities to Soldiers for this critical piece of emerging military technology, according to optical engineer Brian Kellermeyer. The C5ISR Center is an element of the Combat Capabilities Development Command. The Folded Lightweight Annular Telescope, FLAT, project, which packages advanced optics into compact, lightweight, and low-cost UAS payloads, is key to the Center’s research and development for delivering the next generation of advancements. FLAT uses a novel reflective telescopic design, coupled with manufacturing advancements in precision mirror fabrication and optical alignment techniques. “These optics deliver much higher definition images and superior performance at extended ranges than currently fielded capabilities when coupled with aided target recognition algorithms for rapid search and cueing, increasing Soldier lethality and situational awareness,” Kellermeyer said. “Soldiers can better detect, locate, and avoid enemy engagement threats in complex and contested environments.” TECHNOLOGY Strengthen Industrial Base Army C5ISR Center optical engineer Brian Kellermeyer conducts research on the Folded Lightweight Annular Telescope project at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, in January 2026.

C5ISR Center’s UAS science and technology mission pursues paths to incorporate long-range, advanced electro-optics/infrared sensors while decreasing cost. “FLAT optics are pushing boundaries by enabling a mirror-based solution that’s not dependent on rare earth minerals or more expensive optical components,” he said. “Our programs enable a new configuration. The prototypes that we build here and transition to industry enable better use cases for the Warfighter.” Because the government leads the FLAT initiative and owns the design rights, C5ISR Center can rapidly transition this technology directly to multiple industry partners for immediate integration into emerging payloads for Launched Effects and small UAS. The Army uses Cooperative Research and Development Agreements, as well as Small Business Innovation Research and Manufacturing Technology partnerships, to bring multiple vendors into the effort. “Through government rights, we can help spur industry toward this solution set and deliver a larger production level quantity,” Kellermeyer said. “By distributing it openly, the Army effectively ‘burns down risk’ for industry. The goal is to strengthen the defense industrial base and increase supply chains.” C5ISR Center works across the sensors community of interest through the Military Sensing Symposia with Army, government and industry partners to discuss research breakthroughs. During a recent MSS Parallel Conference, Center researchers reinforced key benefits of FLAT optics, including scalable and modular designs, enabling other ground- or Soldier-borne use cases to take advantage of the increased magnification that FLAT optics provide. The designs can also be applied to multiple wave bands, including cooled and uncooled thermal sensors. Initial prototypes of small FLAT payloads are set for field demonstration and operational experimentation in 2026. Through CRADAs, C5ISR Center plans to transition the FLAT technology, making it available on the UAS Marketplace once the sensor suite is packaged into a suitable gimbal solution. The Marketplace aims to streamline the process for Department of War and interagency partners to identify and procure the right equipment to meet their needs through a catalog of validated counter-UAS systems and components, according to Joint Interagency Task Force 401. —————————— The U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center is the Army’s applied research and advanced technology development center for C5ISR capabilities.
