By C. Todd LopezOctober 18, 2016
FORT BLISS, Texas (Army News Service) -- The first full "Army Warfighting Assessment," AWA 17.1, kicked off here Monday.
The two-week exercise is meant to gather feedback from Soldiers on the performance of new warfighting capabilities like robotics systems and autonomous weapons systems in a life-like combat situation, according to Maj. Gen. Terry McKenrick, commander of the Army's Brigade Modernization Command.
"How well do these capabilities perform?" he said during a media day Friday, describing the questions the AWA is intended to answer. "Do they meet the requirements? Are the requirements right? Is there a way to make this capability better?"
