Encyclopedia
The Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (or I2WD) is a component of the US Army Communications-Electronics RD&E Center, currently based out of Fort Monmouth, NJ
. Consisting of five primary divisions, I2WD forms a cohesive and effective Research and Development
(R&D) enterprise which is capable of rapidly maturing critical technologies from initial concept, through support, to fielding.
I2WD’s goal is to develop and apply emerging technology that will significantly advance the Soldier’s fighting capabilities now and in the future. I2WD is developing and integrating the critical technologies required to provide a speedy transition from the research phase to the field.
Current operations primarily reside at Fort Monmouth, NJ. However, due to the 2005
Base Realignment and Closure
act, all I2WD activities are transferring to Aberdeen Proving Grounds by the end of 2011.
