55Program / Project Overview
Mission Command (MC) – Decisions at the Speed ofBattle and Expeditionary Command & Maneuver
• Army MC investments have traditionally focused on enabling
staff functions and optimizing MC within computing
environments (e.g. dismounted, mounted, and Command
Post); CP&I is well postured to shape desired future solutions
of vertical MC integration (one solution across environments)
and Commander-centric solutions. Specific focus is on
capabilities to ensure data/information/knowledge gets to
decision makers when they need it; simplifying computing
infrastructure and reducing cognitive burden; and enabling
increased mobility and removing complexity from both fixed
and mobile Command Posts

56Program / Project Overview
Assured Positioning, Navigation & Timing (PNT)
• Assured PNT is a top priority within DoD and the
Army. 6.2 and 6.3 funding, as well as customer
funding are all expected to increase. CP&I has an
established core competency and strategic
partnerships, and is addressing dynamic threats
and growing demands for solutions to enable
dismounted Soldiers and mounted platform
operation in GPS denied environments. Specific
Focus areas include: Pseudolites, Anti-Jam
Antennas, Dismounted PNT, Mounted PNT, and
PNT Modeling and Simulation

57Program / Project Overview
Prototyping, Integration, and Testing (PI&T)• Supports a variety of tri-service C4ISR systems and systems
integration programs. As a Prototype Integration Facility
(PIF), the PI&T Division provides engineering design,
development, fabrication, installation, integration and fielding
support for shelter, vehicle, aircraft, watercraft and soldier
prototype C4ISR systems. The PI&T Division also executes
projects where the final deliverable is an engineering design
product, without subsequent fabrication and integration
support and provides engineering consulting and expert
support services in the area of C4ISR platform system
integration. Finally, the PI&T Division provides environmental
testing and engineering services designed to ensure that
systems and components survive the harsh tactical
environment, by evaluating and ruggedizing these items to
meet intended operating and storage environments

Program / Project Overview
Operational Energy - Energy Informed Operations & Tactical
Power Generation
• Energy demands on the battlefield have been continuously
increasing as greater tactical capabilities are being deployed.
Increased demand for power continues to outpace advances
in supply technologies. CP&I continues to pursue advances in
creating more efficient and energy dense power sources while
shifting increasing emphasis on investments in power
distribution and management research, in line with the OSD
Operational Energy Office strategy, DA S&T priorities, and
validated high priority operational needs
