The Army is experimenting with different applications of its current systems to devise new concepts as a way to outpace emerging threats on the battlefield.
“Much of what we’re doing right now is just using what we have better and then experimenting within our units here to evolve with what we have today at the pace with which we’re observing change in the world,” Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, commander of 3rd Infantry Division, told reporters Friday during a media call. “Many of the innovations … were just using systems that we have, but in a much more efficient and commensurate way.”
The division’s 1st Armored Brigade recently tested new concepts and applications of equipment during a rotation at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California. Combat training center rotations are the most realistic combat scenarios the Army can create for units to train and to validate units.
The brigade sought to use drones, counter-drone technology and electromagnetic decoys in new and novel ways, some based off recent observations overseas.
