United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command
The Combat Capabilities Development Command, (DEVCOM, aka CCDC) (formerly the United States Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM)) is a subordinate command of the U.S. Army Futures Command. RDECOM was tasked with "creating, integrating, and delivering technology-enabled solutions" to the U.S. Army. Headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, RDECOM employed more than 13,000 scientists, engineers, researchers, and support personnel working at six major RDE centers and at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), providing nearly all of the Army's basic and applied research and development services, including in collaboration with other branches of the armed forces and through a network of more than a thousand academic, industrial, and international partners. CCDC now includes the DEVCOM Analysis Center (formerly ARL/SLAD and AMSAA), and aligns with the top six priorities of AFC: 1. * Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) 2. * Next Generation Combat Vehicles (NGCV) 3. * Future Vertical Lift (FVL) 4. * Army Network 5. * Air & Missile Defense 6. * Soldier Lethality as well as Multi-Domain Operations (MDO).
