Project Convergence: America goes to 'virtual war' with China ANI | Updated: Apr 16, 2021 06:26 IST Washington DC [US], April 16 (ANI): Amid the rising tensions with China, US Army's Project Convergence war games is set to hold operations in a transcontinental scenario - one meant to replicate the vast distances of the Western Pacific and the technological challenges of modern war, Asian Times reports. Project Convergence is a campaign of learning to pursue an artificial intelligence and machine learning-enabled battlefield management system, according to US Future Command. "Convergence" is one of the core tenets of the Army's warfighting concept and multi-domain operations. These war games will be a decent test of the US Army's ability to operate along the strategically located First Island Chain, the series of islands running roughly 2,500 miles from Southeast Asia to Japan, Asian Times citing Breaking Defense.
