TechNet Augusta 2026

This presentation will provide the audience with an understanding of recent changes to how experimentation will be executed in FY27 in order to bridge the gap on collaborative experimentation with industry partners. The goal is to rapidly answer Army operational needs for incorporation into Army modernization, ensuring the Army of 2030 and beyond maintains a technological advantage in Signal, APNT, Cyber, and Electromagnetic Warfare (EW). The intent of this presentation is to build on our partnership with industry to foster a unified vision that propels revolutionary breakthroughs and allows the Army to leverage cutting-edge private sector innovations. And answers; "How does industry participate in Army Experimentations" and "How the Cyber-FCD informs Industry of our Requirements".
