The DEVCOM team comprises seven technology centers, a research laboratory, and three regionally aligned international/forward elements. All of them work as one team around the globe in support of DEVCOM’s mission and vision.
Accelerate research, development, engineering and analysis to deliver warfighter capabilities.
DEVCOM is the Army’s leader and integrator within a global ecosystem of technological innovation and scientific exploration.
Warfighters have the combat capabilities necessary to WIN on the battlefield of the future.
DEVCOM Forward Elements serve as the DEVCOM interface to enable decisive Multi-Domain Operations by identifying cooperative science and technology opportunities; facilitating interaction with foreign government and non-government entities and industry; promoting interoperability among allies; and supporting basic and applied research to develop capabilities and partner capacity that support the U.S. Army.
We believe in getting out of the scientific lab and into the dirt. We take calculated risks and find new solutions every day. Our experts drive scientific discovery, advance and improve existing technologies, and engineer solutions to technical limitations.
We believe in the power of collaboration. Our insight and experience with the realities faced by troops in a combat setting, coupled with our longstanding partnerships across academia, the defense industry, small businesses and international allies, place us at the center of a global ecosystem of innovators.
We believe in fostering a culture of trust, creativity and diversity of thought and background. From supporting STEM summer camps and collegiate internships, to providing unique continuing education and professional development opportunities and investing in world-class laboratory facilities – we know any investment in the STEM talent pipeline is an investment in our shared national security and way of life.
