Army weapons developers want to insert new technologies into acquisition programs as they emerge
Army weapons developers are taking steps to keep pace with rapid global technological change in order to ensure that America’s ground force retains its edge against a wide range of potential adversaries.
Attendees at a recent acquisition training course near Washington, D.C., were acutely aware of how challenging it will be for the U.S. Army to sustain its global technological superiority as other countries and potential adversaries acquire a wide range of new weapons.
Some of these technologies include ground-based precision munitions, next-generation communications and networking gear, drones, electronic warfare capability and cyber-attack potential.
