Perfect, long overdue! Hopefully it’s talking and networking with all the Intelligence and targeting systems and transmitting data in a way they can receive. Or will this be another siloed sensor that will take years of engineering to overcome? This data needs to be transmitted to shooters and intel in real-time so that our adversaries pay a high price for targeting our military’s most vulnerable aircraft.
Army Revolutionizes the Battlefield at the Aviation CDF26 CFWE! During a simulated tactical scenario, our rotary wing platforms survivability sensors identified a threat and successfully informed ground command and control stations. This gives the Maneuver Commander an enhanced, real-time view of the battlefield from the air, enabling faster, more lethal decisions to keep our soldiers safer and more effective. We’re not just flying; we’re networking the battlefield to give our leaders a decisive edge. #CFWE26 #PMASE U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Command I U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command I CPE Aviation I PAE for Maneuver Air I Aviation Center of Excellence I U.S. Army DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center I U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command I US Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG) I Fires Center of Excellence and Fort Sill

The Cross Domain Fires 26 Concept-Focused Warfighting Experiment (CFWE) is in full swing at Yuma Proving Ground! 🚁 Experiments like #CFWE26 are helping inform the US Army's Next-Generation C2 (#NGC2) program. 💡 #ArmyTransformation #ArmyInnovation #ForgingTheVision #VisionToVictory U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command
History was made at Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), AZ during the Cross Domain Fires 26 Concept-Focused Warfighting Experiment (CDF26 CFWE)! For the first time, a US Army AH-64E Apache helicopter successfully employed an Air-Launched Effect (LE). This is a monumental step forward in improving the reach, lethality, and sensing capabilities of Army Aviation. Building on lessons from EDGE, Project Convergence, and PNTAX, this U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Command-led #CFWE26 effort connects experiments across YPG, White Sands Missile Range, and Fort Sill. This live experimentation ensures the Army delivers integrated solutions, like the Apache-launched LE, to make our Warfighters more survivable and lethal on the future battlefield. #ArmyModernization #LE #ArmyAviation U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command I Aviation Center of Excellence I CPE Aviation I U.S. Army DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center I U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command I US Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG) I Fires Center of Excellence and Fort Sill I PAE for Maneuver Air

Advancing Army Aviation at Yuma Proving Ground! During the Cross Domain Fires 26 Concept-Focused Warfighting Experiment (#CFWE26), a U.S. Army AH-64E Apache helicopter successfully employed an Air-Launched Effect, marking a significant step forward in enhancing the reach, lethality, and sensing capabilities of Army Aviation. This Aviation Excursion builds on lessons learned from exercises like EDGE, Project Convergence, and PNTAX to refine and mature emerging technologies. By connecting experimentation across Yuma Proving Ground, White Sands Missile Range, and Fort Sill, we are shaping the future of the Army's Next-Generation C2 (#NGC2) program. #ArmyAviation #InnovationInAction #Modernization

My Thoughts: Seeing an AH-64E successfully launch an LE is a monumental step for Army Modernization. It completely changes the geometry of the battlefield and solidifies the Apache's relevance in Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) by drastically extending its lethal and sensing reach. But as we stand up the Army’s new TUAS/LE companies from the ground up, we know that the hardware is only half the equation. The real challenge is Integration. How does a dedicated drone company conceptually hand off a deep-sensing target to an Apache that is launching its own LE? How do we manage the cognitive load on the pilots and the operators simultaneously? To be ready in the 12th CAB and USAREUR-AF, we have to start solving these friction points before the equipment is fielded. We must use our organic Innovation Cells to simulate these workflows now. We need to build the communications architecture and foster the cross-functional trust between our traditional manned aviation leaders and our future unmanned operators. If we wait for the drones to arrive to start writing the playbook, we will be years behind the curve. We are building the culture of integration today, so we are lethal on Day 1. Question: What is the biggest hurdle in getting two deeply specialized teams (like manned pilots and unmanned operators) to seamlessly integrate their workflows? #ChangeManagement #Innovation #ArmyModernization #Leadership #TalentDevelopment #12CAB
