The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Software Engineering Center, Intelligence Electromagnetic Warfare and Sensors (IEW&S) Directorate, operates the Army Reprogramming Analysis Team (ARAT) at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

ARAT targets its mission software products to 14 geographic areas of responsibility across six combatant commands.

Work is executed in Agile sprints with DevSecOps practices in a Government-approved GitLab environment.
