The Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (or CERDEC) is the United States Army information technologies and integrated systems center. It belongs to the US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), but is hosted by the Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. It is subdivided into directorates, each focusing on an area or discipline:
- Command and Control Directorate (C2D or C²D)
- Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD or I²WD)
- Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD)
- Space and Terrestrial Communications Directorate (S&TCD)
- Software Engineering Directorate (SED)
These directorates work together to develop and integrate Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) technologies that enable information dominance and decisive lethality for the networked Warfighter.
