When it comes to giving the warfighter a definitive edge on the battlefield in future conflicts, collaboration is key, as evidenced at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, in May. The Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Centerâs Air Launched Effects and Advanced Teaming science and technology program teams participated in the Experimentation Demonstration Gateway Event 21, led by Army Futures Commandâs Future Vertical Lift Cross-Functional Team. More than 600 expert participants from 20 Department of Defense agencies participated, including members of the AvMC workforce from Fort Eustis, Virginia; Huntsville; and Moffett Field, California. âThe collaboration amongst the engineers, scientists and warfighters was instrumental in the success of EDGE21 and really set the conditions for Project Convergence 21 later this fall,â FVL CFT Director Maj. Gen. Wally Rugen said.
