Army weapons developers are taking steps to keep pace with rapid global technological change in order to ensure that America’s ground force retains its edge against a wide range of potential adversaries.

Attendees at a recent acquisition training course near Washington, D.C., were acutely aware of how challenging it will be for the U.S. Army to sustain its global technological superiority as other countries and potential adversaries acquire a wide range of new weapons.

Some of these technologies include ground-based precision munitions, next-generation communications and networking gear, drones, electronic warfare capability and cyber-attack potential.

The pace of technological development is mind blowing. I'm glad to see the Army is taking steps to recognize this and stay out in front of it all. The Cyber piece seems to be the making the largest leaps as far as military development goes. It's going to be very interesting to see how the DoD trains and equips the future force in this capacity.
