7 With convergence of Joint effects being one of the main goals of Project Convergence 21, joint interoperability was the main order of business during the second of four communications exercises planned in the lead-up to PC21.
The communications exercise, which took place from April 5-15 at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s, or DEVCOM, Joint System Integration Lab on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, brought together nearly 60 technologies from the Joint force.
Project Convergence is the Army’s campaign of learning, experimentation, and demonstration aimed at aggressively integrating the Army’s weapons systems and command and control systems with those of the rest of the Joint Force. PC21 will focus on informing, developing, and integrating an interoperable Joint Force that is capable of multi-domain operations at echelon. PC21 will be held at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico; Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona; and a number of locatio

Energy systems of tomorrow to be developed in giant lab
DTU’s energy laboratory at Risø Campus is now being expanded, so that researchers and development departments in the energy industry can test the sustainable energy systems of the future in an even more realistic setup.
Large fields with sun-tracking solar cells. Offshore wind turbines that can produce both electricity and hydrogen. Electric cars that recharge electricity, but returns it to the power grid when needed. These are some of the building blocks for the connected energy systems of the future. Added to this is an interconnection of electricity, heating and hydrogen systems for optimal utilization of renewable energy.

This almost certainly adds weight, but, the companies said, it will improve stability on rugged frontline landing zones.
