The Association of the United States Army’s (AUSA) annual conference highlighted the growing popularity of small unmanned aircraft as well as the need to develop and refine counter-UAS systems to go up against them all of which must operate in GPS-denied or degraded environments. Many, if not all, o
We often talk about interoperability , okay, the ability to operate with another nation, or even among the services, says Rear Adm. Loren Selby, Office of Naval Research chief. But there s a distinct difference between interoperability and interchangeability, which involves developing specs and standards together to meet mutual requirements.

WASHINGTON: US service science and technology leaders want to expand collaboration with their regional counterparts in the Indo-Pacific and to start working together earlier in the development process. That means not just kludging largely-finished systems together towards the end of development, which can at best achieve “interoperability,” but cooperating on early-stage research and requirements development to achieve technical “interchangeability.”
Army labs to host testing to connect joint war-fighting systems January 28 An unmanned ground vehicle equppied with a high-grade camera is prepared to go on a test run during the Project Convergence capstone event last year at Yuma Proving Ground, Ariz. Project Convergence is the Army’s campaign to advance solutions for joint war fighting and integrate the service s contributions to Joint All Domain Operations. (Spc. Carlos Cuebas Fantauzzi/U.S. Army) ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. The U.S. Army’s experimental labs will serve as the central laboratory for integrating the military services’ disparate joint war-fighting systems as the services seek to connect sensors and shooters for future wars.
