The fundamental character of warfare is changing. Increased globalization and technological evolutions guarantee that if the United States wants to maintain overmatch in all domains — land, sea, air, space and cyberspace — we must adapt and modernize.
As part of this effort, U.S. Army Futures Command was created and placed at the forefront of identifying and implementing cutting-edge and transformational ways to conduct warfare. The future fight will likely be characterized by an incredible lethality in a dispersed environment, in which rapid decision-making will be critical. Therefore, AFC is focused on deepening relationships with the defense industry, both domestically and globally, to leverage state-of-the-art and emerging technologies. This will ensure that the widest range of viewpoints and information are embedded into the technologies being created for the battlefields of the future.
