Through a feedback-driven, early experimentation process, the U.S. Army is mapping out how the analytic community can shape research, fill data voids and search for discoveries of ‘what could be.’ The Analysis and Experimentation Requirements Process, or AERP, was developed to create a roadmap for integrating analysis in experimentation. Emboldened by Army Futures Command initiatives

ADELPHI, Md. — The U.S. Army launched a virtual testing ground to rapidly facilitate and converge emerging capabilities experimentation in real-time. Researchers from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, known as DEVCOM, Army Research Laboratory developed the virtual experimentation facility as part the Internet of Battlefield Things Collaborative Research Alliance. Typically, it takes weeks

PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. — The objective is clear: increase the range of U.S. Army artillery. In the case of the Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) system, achieving that goal can encompass multiple lines of engineering expertise for distinct functions, eventually converging to produce the desired product. The ERCA effort is nested within the Army’s top

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — A new framework for neural networks’ processing enables artificial intelligence to better judge objects and potential threats in hostile environments. Researchers from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, known as DEVCOM, Army Research Laboratory and university partners from the Internet of Battlefield Things Collaborative Research Alliance, or IoBT CRA, developed a method for

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Army Futures Command (AFC) is developing next-generation satellite communications (SATCOM) capabilities through the use of innovative partnerships known as cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs). The Army uses SATCOM capabilities to provide beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) communications that allow Soldiers to maintain consistent communications in all environments and situations, even when there is
