Army Leaders: Next Generation Command and Control ‘Ready to Scale’

Monday, August 3rd, 2026

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army announced July 29 it is ready to scale Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) across the force during a media roundtable at the end of Project Convergence-Capstone 6 at Fort Irwin, California.

NGC2 replaces legacy, fragmented Army C2 systems – which focused on single functions like fires, logistics, or airspace management – with unified data across all functions to vastly increase the speed of commanders’ decision-making and operational maneuver. It enables every echelon from Soldier to Corps to run modern warfighting apps and artificial intelligence to support their mission, while providing resilient communications across vast distances for greater dispersion and survivability.

“The speed of the fight has changed. The fundamentals have not,” said Gen. Christopher C. LaNeve, vice chief of staff of the Army. “Command and control is still about a commander understanding the fight and acting on it — NGC2 is helping us close the gap between the two. That is what we are testing here: decision speed at the operational level, at scale.”

The Army has rapidly scaled the NGC2 prototype since September 2025, executing a series of operational training events and hands-on development with the 4th and 25th Infantry Divisions to continuously expand and improve the capabilities NGC2 provides at echelon and by warfighting function. These Ivy Sting, Ivy Mass and Lightning Surge events allowed commanders and Soldiers to employ and stress-test NGC2 hardware and software in realistic operations and contested environments, and provide feedback to industry partners to make in-stride improvements.

“We know the biggest risk to our national security and our national defense is not moving too fast. It’s not moving fast enough,” said Dan Driscoll, secretary of the Army. “The side that can sense a target, process the data, and deliver a kinetic effect the fastest, wins. That is the decisive advantage this capability provides.”

At PC-C6, which wrapped up this week, the Army continued to validating NGC2, scaling to a division level, in intense desert heat and against a relentless opposing force. Leaders said the execution of PC-C6 marks the end of the 10-month NGC2 prototyping effort, and the start of rapid and continuous delivery across Army formations, beginning with I Corps headquarters later this year.

“Events like Project Convergence are important because our Soldiers and units are able to use prospective technologies in a realistic and harsh environment, over challenging terrain and at scale,” said Lt. Gen. Michael McCurry, commanding general of the Army’s Futures and Concepts Command and PC-C6 director. “This reinforces that technology speeds decision-making but does not change how we fight. The speed of modern warfare has changed; the fundamentals have not.”

Operational benefits

NGC2 increases lethality and decision advantage by eliminating disconnected systems and providing integrated data across all warfighting functions. It has been demonstrated to shorten the digital kill chain – increasing the number of targets Soldiers and systems can prosecute in less time – and enhance operational effectiveness.

To support the rapid flow of information on the modern battlefield, NGC2 provides diverse and resilient communications options such as private 5G, satellite communications, and terrestrial links, increasing survivability.

“NGC2 is functional but not optimized.” said Maj. Gen. Patrick Ellis, commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division. “The dedicated opposing force and the unrelenting Fort Irwin conditions afforded us a great opportunity to stress the full NGC2 stack at PC-C6. The Ivy Division is proud to have delivered a prototype at the division scale, and we’ll spend the next year refining how we fight using the technology to share our lessons learned across the Army.”

Rapid acquisition

The Army’s approach for NGC2 also has been a model for acquisition reform, aligning requirements, resourcing, and contracting to change legacy processes, break down stovepipes and provide best-of-breed capabilities.

“NGC2 is aligned with the need to act with speed and acceptable risk to keep pace with emerging technologies and evolving threats,” said Brent Ingraham, assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology. “The Army got here in less than a year by leveraging commercial-first technology, Soldier-driven design and teaming across the industrial base to move at the speed of relevance.”

There are currently more than 60 companies contributing to the NGC2 ecosystem, and the Army will continue to on and off ramp vendors and provide additional industry opportunities as NGC2 scales to additional formations.

“The marketplace is continually changing, so our message to industry is: if you show up, integrate, and your capability delivers value – and continues to deliver value as we move through iterations – then you’re going to do well,” said Joe Welch, portfolio acquisition executive for

C2 and Counter C2. “The ecosystem environment we have created enables companies to solve problems collectively rather than individually and improve the quality and speed of product delivery to our formations.”

Next steps

Looking ahead, the Army will move to continuous delivery of NGC2 capabilities, enabled by the recent establishment of a common data layer baseline with industry to support rapid scaling. The data layer is the heart of NGC2, and it allows the Army to continue to tailor and refine other elements – including applications, infrastructure and transport – by formation.

The next units slated to receive the capability will include I Corps headquarters, enablers and several downtrace units. The Army NGC2 team is already working closely with I Corps leaders to align software and hardware deliveries to key training events, technical priorities, and operational needs, leveraging lessons learned from the 4th and 25th Infantry Divisions.

Soldier Pushes Limits for Hard-Earned Skippy Badge

Sunday, August 2nd, 2026

It was just before midnight as Private Ryan Doyle quietly prepared his gear for the final test to become a fully fledged rifleman.

Clouds smothered what little light the stars could provide, so he watched his breath fog in the air through night optics as he waited.

“I was more excited than anything, to be honest. We didn’t quite know what was in store, they didn’t really give us a brief, so I was in anticipation of what was coming,” Private Doyle said.

The signal finally came from the platoon commander and the section stepped off, carrying stores and heavy packs.

It wasn’t long before enemy engaged from the darkness.

Under direction of their section commander, they fought back with bursts of gunfire lighting up the night, and a soldier was wounded in the ambush.

After applying tactical care to the combat casualty, the section carried their teammate on a stretcher, the hardest part for Private Doyle.

“We had just come off 10 days of digging defensive positions, so my grip was quite gone. I wasn’t expecting that,” he said.

As they marched, Private Doyle reflected on the past 17 weeks of intense training at the Australian Army’s School of Infantry.

He learned to use multiple weapon systems, from pistols to 84mm Carl Gustaf recoilless rifles.

He dug defensive positions, fought in hand-to-hand combat, set barbed wire and trip flares, and negated those threats when he encountered them.

‘I wanted a challenge and to do things that you don’t get to do as an ordinary person. The equipment you use, the lifestyle, it stood out to me.’

With his section, he breached and cleared buildings or conducted patrols through the scrub to seek out, close with and destroy the enemy, regardless of weather or terrain – as the role of the infantry goes.

Now, he had to prove it on Exercise HardCorps, the final test before posting to a battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment.

The stretcher carry ended at the tunnels leading from Singleton Range to Lone Pine Barracks and the sun had started to rise.

The section cleared an urban facility before making their way through the obstacle and bayonet assault course one last time.

Their final stand was at the 25-metre range, with a live-fire shoot to finish the test.

After clearing off the range, they headed back to their lines – with broad smiles and laughter in contrast to the determined stoicism a few hours earlier.

A quick shower, cleaned rifles and fresh uniforms got them ready for the most anticipated event of the day: the Skippy Badge presentation.

With the mark of a qualified rifleman cradled in his hand, Private Doyle was excited for the next stage of his career in the Royal Australian Infantry.

“I wanted a challenge and to do things that you don’t get to do as an ordinary person. The equipment you use, the lifestyle, it stood out to me,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to learning what it’s like to be a soldier. We’ve completed this training and now we move on to learn and develop more. That will be really interesting.”

Army-Industry Collaboration Advances Counter-UAS Technology

Saturday, August 1st, 2026

FORT A.P. Hill, Va. — As the war in Ukraine and ongoing global conflicts demonstrate, the rapid proliferation of agile, armed unmanned aircraft systems has fundamentally transformed modern warfare.

In direct alignment with the Secretary of War’s guiding principles of urgency, speed, efficiency, competition and lethality, the U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Center is taking a leading role in ensuring our forces maintain absolute battlefield overmatch. By driving collaboration with defense technology developers, the center is rapidly delivering next-generation capabilities that will protect warfighters against these evolving lethal threats.

In May the Center executed its first-ever counter-small unmanned aircraft systems event, known as Warden, a collaborative government and industry assessment held at Fort A.P. Hill. It served as a venue for data collection, demonstration and evaluation of non-kinetic drone defeat technologies. Over the course of a week and half, a team of C5ISR Center counter-UAS experts collected data and performed field assessments of systems in development against various UASs flying mock attack runs.

For the 17 industry partners in attendance, Warden presented a unique opportunity to test their C-UAS systems against multiple types of aerial threats in real-world scenarios. They pitted their lasers, radio frequency jammers and an intercept UAS against more than a dozen types of UASs using a variety of realistic attack patterns, including a swarm of drones. During these challenges industry was constantly collecting performance data to refine and improve the systems and underlying algorithms.

Once the data was collected, each industry participant submitted their findings to the center for comparison to the actual UAS flight paths for ground truthing. By comparing this data against a verified baseline, C5ISR Center experts can assess each system’s performance against newly established performance criteria recently established by the Department of War and the Committee on Homeland and National Security of the National Science and Technology Council.

Called “The Standard Guidelines for Test and Evaluation of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technologies,” it establishes an apples-to-apples comparison for the industry participants to further refine their systems.

Improvements made as a result of Warden include detecting and identifying incoming UAS threats from longer standoff distances for better force protection; updated sensor algorithms to create more resilient C-UAS solutions; and enhancements to make it easier to share data between the sensors, warfighters in the field and command and control.

Other improvements aim to make sensor and laser effector systems easier for dismounted squads to use. These enhancements will deliver low size, weight and power systems that can be rifle-mounted or paired with wearable sensors to keep Soldiers’ hands free while jamming.

The C5ISR Center organizers fully appreciated the value of collaboration, which combined with a sense of friendly competition to find the best-of-breed solutions for protecting America’s warfighters.

And it was not only industry that reaped benefits of the Warden event. The event’s project manager, Clint Farrell said, “As an honest broker assessing these technologies, the C5ISR Center is able to learn, transparently, which systems are mature and where there are still gaps that industry needs to apply future investments.”

C5ISR Center Director Beth Ferry agreed. “Working together with industry, we are finding the best C-UAS technology for our Soldiers: high performance, low weight, easy data sharing. There are no failures for our industry partners, just opportunities to improve and ensure they meet Soldiers’ needs.”

Recon Marines Provide Critical Feedback for ARV Development

Friday, July 31st, 2026

DETROIT ARSENAL, Mich. —

It is crucial that the capabilities our warfighters receive to fight and survive meet the current threat environment. Their input in the development of such systems can help lead to a capability that meets their needs when they need it. With that in mind, Portfolio Acquisition Executive Marine Corps Program Manager Light Armored Vehicles (PM LAV) conducted an Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV) Marine Touch Point (MTP) at the Ground Vehicle Systems Center in Detroit Arsenal, Mich., June 10 – 11, 2026.

The ARV program is executing under the Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) pathway for rapid prototyping, and to support this accelerated timeline, PM LAV is conducting a series of early operational assessments with the Textron and General Dynamics Land Systems prototype ARV-30 variant. These events are designed to place these systems directly in the hands of experienced Light Armored Reconnaissance (LAR) Marines to capture high-pedigree, actionable feedback, which will lead to reducing program risk prior to major design reviews and potentially influence future design changes.

“This Marine touchpoint puts experienced LAR operators in the driver’s seat of prototypes, providing an early fleet feedback loop to refine designs and optimize combat capabilities before the baseline is locked. It allows us to directly translate Marine prototype feedback into concrete design refinements—ensuring the final platform is built for operators.”

– Col. Douglas Peterson, program manager, LAV

Marines with 1st LAR, 2d LAR, 3d LAR, and LAR Training Company, conducted gunnery and vehicle familiarization operations designed to familiarize the Marines with the prototype vehicle’s layout and turret operations through hands-on interaction. Additionally, they performed driver training and practical application on a test track. Using a concurrent execution model, the Marines split into groups with one conducting driver familiarization and practical application on one vendor’s vehicle, the other group simultaneously conducting gunnery and vehicle familiarization on the other vendor’s platform. The groups “flip-flopped” roles at points, ensuring all Marines interacted with all systems. Using this approach, PM LAV was able to maintain data integrity by ensuring all Marines provide feedback on both vehicles independently.

“From my perspective, this Marine Touch Point was a phenomenal success and a textbook example of our ‘Shift Left’ strategy in action,” said Master Gunnery Sgt. John Farrell, PM LAV operations chief. “By putting our most seasoned, highly experienced LAR Marines face-to-face with vendor engineers, we captured high-pedigree, actionable feedback on the physical hull ergonomics and turret controls of the ARV-30 prototypes early in the cycle. This direct collaboration is incredibly beneficial for both the USMC and our industry partners; it allows us to identify necessary design refinements, mitigate program risks, and shape future tactics well before the Critical Design Review, ensuring we ultimately deliver the most lethal and operationally suitable platform to the fleet.”

“This [Marine Touch Point] is integral to the future of the Marine Corps,” said Staff Sgt. Dominic Rosado, Light Armored platoon sergeant and master gunner for 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. “We have maintenance chiefs here, we have master gunners here, we have O311 scouts that ride in the back of the vehicles and not necessarily operate it. I think bringing the Marines here to tell the contractors, ‘hey, this is what we’re looking for – hey, this is something that you might run into if we are to get this vehicle today and you kept this piece of gear on here.’ We’re here to basically shape what we want and tell them. We’re integrated in the process and the building of these new weapon systems, these new vehicles, and everything that the Marine Corps is turning into for this new force design.”

The ARV is built for the mission ahead. With open architecture, modular payloads, and clear upgrade paths, the system is designed to evolve. It gives the future Mobile Reconnaissance Battalion (MRB) a platform that is more survivable, more mobile, and more connected. Helping Marines see first, understand faster, and stay in the fight.

“The ARV is the critical enabler for the LAR-to-MRB transition. It fundamentally redefines the mission by sensing, fusing, and sharing actionable intelligence across the entire (Marine Air-Ground Task Force). The capabilities the ARV delivers are highly suitable for the near-term fight, while its open-architecture design guarantees scalable capability growth for years to come.”

– Col. Douglas Peterson, program manager, LAV

“It creates more of a situational awareness,” said Rosado. “Not only for just like the individual crewmen, but as a whole with the different variants that they’re coming out with. Situational awareness down from the crewmen level all the way to the company and battalion level is going to serve dividends going and reporting to the [Marine Expeditionary Unit], reporting to a division, or whoever is that higher echelon of command that we report to the situational awareness of the battlefield. That’s what we do and shaping that is going to be greatly improved based off these vehicles.”

PM LAV is planning to conduct additional MTP’s throughout the ARV’s pre-production development phase to continue to receive feedback on design updates. The program continues to deliver on schedule, apply rigorous cost controls, and reduce risk early, utilizing events such as this to do so.

PAE Fires Establishes “Reveille Forge” to Accelerate Rapid Integration and Capability Delivery

Thursday, July 30th, 2026

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Portfolio Acquisition Executive Fires has launched Reveille Forge\, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) at Redstone Arsenal. The now-operational facility capitalizes directly on the momentum from the Pathway for Innovation and Technology (PIT) led Operation Jailbreak’s Sprint 1 and the Army’s first ever API Marketplace\, which went live May 6. Designed to maintain a lean standing footprint\, Reveille Forge remains poised to surge support when directed to integrate new capabilities for immediate deployment to operational theaters. Operation Jailbreak’s first sprint focused on countering Unmanned Aerial System and Integrated Air and Missile Defense threats, bringing together more than 50 companies and 600 participants to “jailbreak” more than 74 previously isolated capabilities. Following this initial sprint, the team transitioned to “JB 1.5” to harden those capabilities at Redstone Arsenal. Now, PAE Fires is institutionalizing that momentum by establishing Reveille Forge as a permanent hackathon environment to support its specific portfolio objectives. This standing facility can operate independently or in conjunction of any future Jailbreak sprints.

Bringing Industry, Government, and Academia Under One Roof The driving organization behind Reveille Forge is PAE Fires, working hand-in-hand with its portfolio of existing prime contractors, emerging vendors, government stakeholders, and academia. Reveille Forge is purpose-built as a collaborative space where all stakeholders work side-by-side, building directly on the partnership model proven during Operation Jailbreak, where Industry competitors sat shoulder-to-shoulder in shared “validation zones.” “Operation Jailbreak proved what’s possible when industry, government, and academia stop working in silos and start working as one team,” said Portfolio Acquisition Executive, Lt. Gen. Frank Lozano. To formalize this continuous integration model, PAE Fires will work with existing partners and interested vendors through appropriate government-approved mechanisms to support collaboration, integration, and evaluation in an enduring, joint environment.

An “Integrate-First” Pathway for Emerging Vendors and Capabilities The launch of Reveille Forge represents the operationalization of a state-of-the-art IDE designed to develop and evaluate integrated cross-domain fires in real-time. Reveille Forge does two things at once: it institutionalizes the R2I integration process that Operation Jailbreak proved possible, and it establishes an “Integrate-First” pipeline for both established and emerging vendors. The “Integrate-First” pathway runs in three streamlined phases:

Initial Integration: Vendors demonstrate the viability of their product by successfully integrating it into the established government-owned architecture within Reveille Forge.

**Capability Review:**Once initial integration is demonstrated, government stakeholders will engage in formal capability discussions.

Testing: Valuable capabilities advance to the next phase of testing. Successful performance may inform follow-on testing, experimentation, acquisition decisions, or other government actions consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and competition requirements.

“For too long, system integration began late in the developmental cycle, something we focused on after components were already built,” said Director, Integrated Fires, Ms. Jeannie Sommer. “With Reveille Forge, system integration is the first thing we do, not the last. If a vendor can prove their capability works inside our architecture, they earn a fast path to a capability review and testing, which may ultimately get new technology into Soldiers’ hands faster.” “The reason behind all of this is simple,” Sommer continued. “The Soldier can no longer be the integration point. Reveille Forge isn’t just a building; it’s a commitment to our Soldiers. It’s our promise that the integration breakthroughs we achieved at Fort Carson won’t be a one-off. They’ll be the standard, every single day.”

Establishing an Enduring Integration Framework The establishment of an Integrated Development Environment at Reveille Forge marks a deliberate shift from event-driven innovation to enterprise-level integration. Operation Jailbreak proved that previously siloed systems could be connected in weeks, not years, and the API Marketplace laid the foundation. Lozano stated, “Carrying forward the momentum of Operation Jailbreak, Reveille Forge continues to drive early collaboration and integration, rapidly turning emerging technology into deployable capabilities.”

Army Data Researchers Reshape Soldier-AI Collaboration to Strengthen, Accelerate Battlefield Planning

Wednesday, July 29th, 2026

FORT IRWIN, Calif. — Army data scientists designed an experimental AI-powered platform that could transform the military decision-making planning process, to compress planning timelines from days or hours to seconds and to enable rapid, adaptable decision-making on the future battlefield.

As part of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, or DEVCOM, Army Research Laboratory, which is the Army’s sole fundamental laboratory, the Course Of Action Generative Pre-trained Transformer, or COA-GPT, is part of the U.S. Army’s largest experiment exercise at Project Convergence Capstone 6 at Fort Irwin, Calif., from July 17-29. The COA-GPT is a scientific platform designed to accelerate mission planning and provide an adaptable and decisive framework for planning, intelligence and command to solve critical human-AI integration challenges,

“By fusing generative AI with hard-won military expertise and doctrine, COA-GPT provides Army leaders and warfighters, the ability to generate and compare innovative workflow options,” said Dr. Amar Marathe, DEVCOM ARL COA-GPT program manager. “We are not replacing Soldiers with AI—we are arming them with it. COA-GPT integrates seamlessly into the workflow to make military planners faster, more efficient, and more effective.”

COA-GPT represents more than four years of partnership between ARL and the U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Command’s Command and Control Future Capability Directorate. The team uses regular Soldier-driven experiments to characterize planning-related Soldier-AI integration challenges and ensure that COA-GPT reflects the direct feedback of the Soldiers the testbed platform is designed to support.

According to Marathe, a major scientific hurdle is clearly communicating intent to machines across a distributed team of Soldiers and systems. Through an industry partnership with Hyssos Tech, COA-GPT uses an advanced graphic interface within the testbed, enabling leaders across multiple echelons to use intuitive methods, like drawing on a shared map, to better direct agentic AI to reduce miscommunication, cognitive load and friction across personnel.

“We built COA-GPT with a plug-and-play architecture, giving researchers the freedom to easily swap components and test new AI capabilities without having to rebuild the entire system,” Marathe said.

The next steps include refinement of the COA-GPT testbed through rigorous Soldier feedback and industry collaboration. Future efforts will explore how generative AI shifts the traditional responsibilities of Army planning staffs, which new cognitive competencies planners need to prioritize, and how to optimize workflows, ultimately helping the Army maintain a decisive advantage.
