What is it?
Project Convergence is the centerpiece of Army’s campaign of learning, designed to aggressively advance and integrate Army’s contributions to the Joint Force. It ensures that the Army, as part of the Joint and Combined fight, can rapidly and continuously converge effects across all domains – air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace – to overmatch the adversaries in competition and conflict.
Project Convergence will generate transformational change to ensure the Army stays ahead of emerging challenges to the national security.
What are the current and past efforts of the Army?
Project Convergence helps ensure that the Army has the right people, with the right systems, appropriately enabled, in the right places, to support the Joint fight. Project Convergence is designed around five core components:
What continued efforts does the Army have planned?
Project Convergence is based on a continuous, structured series of demonstrations and experiments. The Army will continue to demonstrate technologies as often as every two weeks. Those events inform each other, and they build to annual capstone events at Yuma Proving Ground.
Why is this important to the Army?
Project Convergence ensures that the Army has the ability to employ all sensors, the best shooters, and the right command and control nodes, with the appropriate authorities, in near real-time, to support the joint kill web – to converge effects against the adversary. Whoever is able to see, understand, decide, and act first, will win.
