Col. Dennis Smith, left, Director of the Soldier and Support Systems Evaluation Directorate at the U.S. Army Evaluation Center (AEC) in Aberdeen, Md., visited Picatinny Arsenal on July 11, where he toured facilities used to test weapons and munitions. He met with officials of the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, and the office of Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems.

During his visit, Smith also received briefings on modeling and simulation for artillery, fuse and ammunition programs, directed energy programs, mortar fire control systems and software-development capabilities.

AEC supports the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) in improving the Department of Defense's performance by indentifying key areas for improvement and the best practices being used within the Army. In doing so, AEC provides ATEC leadership and the customer with the most effective and reliable information on these areas and promotes the best business practices throughout the Army.
