Targeting time shrinks from minutes to seconds in Army experiment
The latest edition of Project Convergence streamlines processes and adds new tech.

CAMP PENDLETON, California—Soldiers found targets in a tiny fraction of the normal time by streamlining procedures and speeding up data processing during a recent experiment, Army officials said Tuesday.

The Army is seeing a “two orders of magnitude” increase in the speed at which data is passed to weapons crews since the first Project Convergence, said Alex Miller, a senior science and technical advisor to Army Chief of Staff Randy George. In certain cases, processes that previously took minutes took just seconds, Miller said during a media day for this year's Project Convergence, one of the service’s marquee technology-testing events.

Miller said the success was due in part to simplifying procedures.

“A lot of it was just making sure we didn’t over-classify things,” allowing soldiers to send information to foreign partners and other services without routing data through a human, he said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The US will have to scrap the program because it might give our military too much of an advantage over China. :whistle:
