Gen. David Hodne, the director of the Army\u2019s Futures and Concepts Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s massive experimentation event, Project Convergence, is not going away. The service\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2024\/10\/14\/project-convergence-to-plant-a-flag-in-the-pacific\/\" target=\"_blank\">capstone event<\/a> will happen in the summer of 2026, but leading up to that, a series of experimentation events will integrate warfighting functions in new ways to address how the service will fight in the future, Hodne said Tuesday at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s Global Force Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has long held experimentation efforts within its Centers of Excellence, such as the Maneuver Fires Integrated Experiment, or MFIX, at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and the Vanguard exercise primarily focused on intelligence capability, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve reorganized how we\u2019re going to do those experiments,\u201d Hodne said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army will first conduct its annual Title 10 war game in November 2025 and then move into a command-and-control, or C2, experiment in the early spring that will<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2025\/01\/16\/army-to-competitively-develop-next-gen-command-and-control-prototype\/\" target=\"_blank\"> test the full range of C2<\/a> and counter-C2 capabilities and will be organized to test capability from the theater to brigade level, Hodne said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, the service will conduct a cross-domain fires experiment at Fort Sill that will include \u201call manners of fires, launched effects, rockets, cannons\u201d in both live and simulated environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last integrated experiment will focus on expanded maneuver at Fort Benning, Georgia, also in the spring, according to Hodne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat will include expanded launched effects, autonomous systems, human-machine integrated formations and layered on top of all of them will be formation-based layered protection,\u201d Hodne said. This would involve air defense systems and survivability systems from higher echelons to the brigade and below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army also plans to conduct two Future Studies Programs that will incorporate all of the learning from the three concept-focused experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service then plans to conduct its capstone Project Convergence event in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, the effort offers \u201ca more coherent approach to our experimentation,\u201d Hodne noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new designs for experimentation events will also help industry partners understand how to support them because they will be more focused, according to Brig. Gen. Zachary Miller, Army Joint Modernization Command commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the Army is looking to help industry by consolidating its call for proposals to participate in experimentation efforts which are currently posted \u201call over the place,\u201d Miller noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that\u2019s going to be a lot more coherent starting in FY26 and that those events then will help us inform what we\u2019re going to do in the big capstone in July and make sure that we\u2019ve got the capabilities that are really helping us meet those needs,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new integrated warfighting conceptual experimentation in the spring will feed into the U.S.
