The latest stage in a long-running US-led experimentation programme is underway in the Californian desert.
Project Convergence Capstone (pictured above during the 2022 iteration) is teaming troops from the Army’s Experimentation and Trials Group (ETG) with international colleagues against a peer enemy equipped with swarms of attack drones.
The exercise aims to provide insights into how planning, execution and command and control might be conducted differently against a foe equipped with robotics and autonomous systems as well as emerging AI software.
“We are being challenged in the surface, near-surface and electromagnetic spectrum as well as in sustainment,” said the ETG’s Maj Adam Szczerbiuk (RA).
“All this is against a backdrop of having to integrate across the joint and multinational community.”
