You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.212.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:38, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

CCDC C5ISR Center is headquartered at [[Aberdeen Proving Ground]] in Maryland, with activities at [[Fort Belvoir]] in Virginia and [[Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst]] in New Jersey.

As one of the 10 organizations that make up the '''[[United States Army Research, Development and Engineering Command|Combat Capabilities Development Command]]''', a subordinate organization of the Army Futures Command, CCDC C5ISR Centers supplies Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance ([[C4ISTAR|C5ISR]]) capabilities, technologies and integrated solutions((solution-inline|date=July 2019)) for the Soldier.<ref>((cite web|title=CERDEC website|url=http://www.cerdec.army.mil/|publisher=CERDEC|access-date=28 March 2012))</ref>

== Core competencies==
CCDC C5ISR Center's six directorates and Product Director (PD) aim to integrate [[Department of Defense Architecture Framework|C5ISR]] technologies in order to provide [[System of systems|systems-of-systems]] products for soldiers.

C5ISR is the ability to direct, coordinate and control the assets necessary for accomplishing the mission and reporting battlefield situations and activities. CCDC C5ISR Center develops new technologies, and adapts technologies from other Army R&D centers and laboratories, Department of Defense partners, government and national laboratories, academia and industry. Additionally, the group provides products to other system developers (for platform integration).

The group utilizes Modeling and Simulation (M&S) capabilities to provide the Army and Joint Forces, system of systems assessments of C5ISR technologies and concepts. CCDC C5ISR Center's product manager for C5ISR On-the-Move assesses the effectiveness of inserting new technologies into an operationally relevant environment. CCDC C5ISR Center collaborates with Army, DoD and other stakeholders to provide C5ISR models, simulated architectures and automated tools in support of requirement definition, design and engineering, manufacturing, and test and evaluation.

== Directorates ==
CCDC C5ISR Center is subdivided into several directorates, each focusing on an area or discipline:

* [[Command Power and Integration Directorate]] (CP&ID): CP&ID aims to enable the quick transition of optimum capabilities to soldiers in support of ongoing operations. CP&I aims to develop, acquire, manage and apply technological expertise in information and knowledge management; portable and mobile power; platform integration and prototyping; environmental control systems; and position, navigation and timing.
* [[Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate]] (I2WD or I²WD) aims to provide effective intelligence and information warfare tools that equip US soldiers with integrated systems needed to ensure information dominance, and focuses on quick-reaction capabilities, which consist of transitioning new technologies into systems for rapid deployment in the field. This includes radar/combat identification; electronic warfare air/ground survivability equipment; information and network operations; signals intelligence (SIGINT); modeling and simulation; information fusion; measurement and signatures intelligence (MASINT); electronic warfare countermeasures; and intelligence dissemination. Additionally, I2WD provides engineering and management support to PEOs throughout the lifecycle of these systems.
* [[Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate]] (NVESD) develops electro-optical electronic sensors, including thermal imagers, image intensifiers and lasers, to equip soldiers with imaging devices that aim to improve surveillance and targeting, safety, and lethality while providing increased capability for soldiers, ground/Airborne electro optics/infrared, force protection, and IED/mine and minefield detection.
* [[Product Realization Directorate]] (PRD) provides expertise in the areas of production engineering; manufacturing technology; maintenance concept engineering; quality assurance and continuous improvement; special manufacturing and quality assessment; reliability and risk assessment; industrial base technical advocacy and management; configuration management; technical data; specifications and standardization program management; technical project leadership; and technology acquisition planning and preparation for the Army communications-electronics community of practice. PRD influences design and system support during all phases of the product lifecycle, assisting in program synchronization, availability, improvement, fielding, delivery and sustainment of technology for the Warfighter.
* [[Space and Terrestrial Communications Directorate]] (S&TCD) aims to provide soldiers with adaptive, reliable battlefield communications with electronic counter-countermeasure capabilities and information security (INFOSEC). S&TCD performs research, development and engineering functions in terrestrial, avionics and space-dependent communications technology.
* [[Software Engineering Directorate]] (SED) provides software acquisition support and software engineering support to Army tactical systems throughout the systems' lifecycles, including concept and development, systems development and demonstration, production and deployment, and operations and maintenance. SED conceptualizes, develops and supports the fielding and sustaining of systems and software products, services and technologies that enhance Army, Joint and Coalition Force's war fighting capabilities. SED helps ensure America's Warfighters and Allies are equipped to defend the homeland and own the decisive edge throughout the battlespace.
* [[Product Director C4ISR and Network Modernization]] (PD C4ISR & NetMod) is an Army capital investment that provides a “test/assess-analyze-fix” environment that evaluates technical applications and maturity for emerging networking, sensors and C4ISR-enabling platforms on a year-round basis. Activities conducted at PD C4ISR & NetMod's laboratories or field sites are constructed as opportunities to expose systems to conditions not ordinarily available within their development environments. PD C4ISR & NetMod's integrated capabilities events inform the Army and joint communities on the capabilities of emerging technology. (NO LONGER EXISTS)
