AMERICA’S ARMY WINNING IN A COMPLEX WORLD

The objective is to provide new principles, algorithms and technical
approaches that drive innovation for future Soldier-systems interaction
and enable better control of technology or weapons systems and reduce
Soldiers’ cognitive workloads.
Army research into Quantum Effects and Quantum Information
Sciences focuses on generating advances in quantum science. Quantum
science is the study of the behavior of matter and its interactions with
energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. This research
will enable revolutionary approaches to information processing, secure
communications and cryptography, jam-proof position and navigation,
and ultraprecise sensing and imaging.
CONCLUSION
As the Army S&T program continues to identify and harvest technologies
suitable for transition to our force, we aim to remain ever vigilant of
potential and emerging threats. We are implementing a strategic
approach to modernization that includes an awareness of existing
and potential gaps, and we continue to work towards understanding
emerging threats, knowledge of state-of-the-art commercial, academic
and government research, and understanding competing needs for
limited resources. Army S&T will sharpen research efforts to focus
upon these core capabilities it needs to sustain while identifying
promising or disruptive technologies. Ultimately, our focus remains on
Soldiers. Army S&T consistently seeks new avenues to increase Soldiers’
capabilities and ensure their technological superiority today, tomorrow
and decades from now. The Army S&T mission is never complete. We
will continue working to ensure that our Soldiers are always equipped
with the technology to win.
