The Product Lead, Common Hardware Systems (CHS) with Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, Tactical (PEO C3T) will host a Tactical Hardware Technical Exchange in conjunction with their Program Review to discuss Army product office needs for future tactical commercial information technology (IT) hardware requirements. This technical exchange occurs on Tuesday, 28 January 2020 on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland at the Top of the Bay. All vendors wishing to be a part of this governmental technical exchange must register no later than 5:00p.m. (EST) Tuesday, 21 January 2020.

The goal of the event is to assist industry partners and government product offices in identifying and aligning their efforts with future Army tactical commercial IT hardware requirements. The core audience for this exchange is governmental product, technical, and logistics leads and their representatives. Supporting industry partners should provide highly flexible, cost effective, common, and simplified non-developmental commercial IT hardware solutions improving battlefield interoperability and connectivity. CHS promotes solutions that fit into the Converged Mission Command Network, that align with Army Capability Sets, and which enable improvements over time.
The Army encourages DoD Approved Product List and IT companies' participation in this unique forum, centering on innovative capabilities enabling the Army's use of expeditionary and intuitive common hardware (non-ruggedized and ruggedized) solutions: servers, computers / peripherals, networking devices, cables / accessories, operational transit cases, network storage, radios, modules, kit assemblies, adaptors, vehicle intercom systems, ancillary / consumable items, and plotters.

Special government emphasis will be given to Army Capability Sets. Those tactical hardware solutions that contribute to smaller, lighter, faster communications systems; easy to use devices; multiple route connectivity options; and security / management systems are core.

Vendor roadmap times will be scheduled from 0900 to 1400 to provide government program representatives with a better understanding of emerging commercial IT hardware products that could address future program gaps and challenges.
