Army opens premier test ranges to private industry for rapid innovation
Spearheaded by the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), in close partnership with the Mississippi and Michigan National Guard and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), the U.S. Army announced today it is opening four premier stateside military test ranges and collaborating to open an international military test range to private industry for their internal research, development and rapid experimentation.
ATEC TRANSFORMS TEST AND EVALUATION FOR NEXT GENERATION COMMAND AND CONTROL
The U.S. Army’s Next Generation Command and Control initiative, known as NGC2, was created to meet this moment. NGC2 replaces legacy, stove-piped mission command systems with an open, extensible set of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, warfighting applications and resilient communications to achieve decision dominance against sophisticated adversaries.
ATEC streamlining Safety Release process to accelerate evaluation
Safety is one of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC)’s most critical considerations as it helps Army senior leaders determine whether to provide a piece of equipment to Soldiers. Today, in support of Army transformation, ATEC is significantly streamlining the Safety Release process, combining speed with rigor to help put crucial systems in Soldiers’ hands faster than ever before.
ATEC accelerating Multi-Domain Operations virtual testing capabilities
In October 2023, the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) demonstrated a Multi-Domain Operations Distributed Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) Initial Operational Capability across ATEC’s geographically diverse sites on a distributed network. Since that demonstration, ATEC has been maturing its capability by creating even more complex virtual environments, which are critical to ATEC’s digital transformation and the Army’s ability to test and evaluate cutting-edge technologies faster and more efficiently.
