As the world witnesses rapid technological advancements and shifting geopolitical landscapes, the Army’s commitment to adaptation through experimentation and testing becomes increasingly vital. This issue focuses on how the Army, specifically the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology, is adapting experimentation and testing to improve processes and deliver products faster and better. According to Nelson McCouch III, Army AL&T editor-in-chief, “Integral to both experimentation and [training] exercises are the agile development methodology and the Soldier-centered design concept.”
The summer issue explores how the agile methodology highlights people over process, while Soldier-centered design puts the warfighter at the center of the design and development process of all the kit, vehicles and software they would need to fight and win the nation’s wars.
