ARMY SEEKING SUPPORT FOR CLOUD INTEGRATION CAPABILTIES
U.S. Army RDECOM CERDEC to host Industry Day
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. – The U.S. Army’s Research, Development and
Engineering Command’s communications-electronics center will hold an Industry Day Jan. 10 –
11 to inform potential partners of emerging technologies that will facilitate the integration of new
capabilities that support Army cloud computing development efforts.
CERDEC Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate’s Tactical Cloud Integration
Laboratory focuses on developing and integrating new capabilities by “bridging” developers,
vendors and solutions with operational users in a cohesive, isolated environment, said Kesny
Parent, CERDEC I2WD TCIL Program Management Office.
“Program Manager Distributed Common Ground System-Army, or PM DCGS-A, has
identified the need to establish operational clouds at fixed sites and at regional nodes to support
Army intelligence data collection and analytics capabilities,” said Parent.
In an effort to establish an infrastructure that supports the storage and management of
multi-intelligence data and provide a computational framework that brings analytics to that data,
CERDEC I2WD is seeking capabilities such as multi-intelligence, all-source analysis
correlation; platform and resource allocation and optimization algorithms; predictive analysis
###
tools; language translation services; still image and graphic processing capabilities; advanced
human intelligence exploitation; and advanced visualization and conceptualization tools.
Industry, government agencies and academia with capabilities to fill these technology
shortfalls related to Tactical Cloud Integration are asked to propose solutions and possibly
present those solutions and technologies to CERDEC I2WD.
Those interested in participating in TCIL Industry Day should submit participation
packages containing company information, contact information, a thorough product description,
capabilities outlined in Section 4 of the I2WD TCIL Industry Day Packet and presentation
overviews to the I2WD TCIL Program Management Office team at [email protected]
