Gen. William Hix, deputy director of the Army Modernization Command Task Force, the Army has since been \u201cliving off the fat\u201d of those technological advances, and will have to do more to keep ahead of the other rising world powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China and Russia have set goals to improve their military prowess through technology over the next couple decades, with China especially aiming to become the world military power by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to recognize that it\u2019s a challenge, and that they are serious-minded about what they intend to achieve, as are the Russians,\u201d Hix said. <span class=\"js-paste-start-YOHIZHJFIVCWNIJ6NTFYK4KBK4\"> \u201cThe IT revolution is fundamental to the combat output of the Army. And our adversaries\u2019 perception of that output, our competitive advantage, is fundamental to preventing war, which is our first job.\u201d<span class=\"js-paste-end-YOHIZHJFIVCWNIJ6NTFYK4KBK4\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Hix, Operation Desert Storm was a sign for China and Russia that they were not capable of military combat on the same level as the U.S. But those events also drove their leaders to push harder for military advancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe should give them something else to recognize that they\u2019re not ready for,\u201d Hix said. He explained that network capabilities would be at the core of the Army\u2019s advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advantage the United States has, Hix said, is that it has already cultivated a culture that prioritizes innovation in ways that China and Russia do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI believe that their systems, their political and economic systems, effectively create a ceiling that they can\u2019t get through. And because of the dynamic nature of our society and our political and economics, we always reward top doers and innovators in ways that they will not be able to match,\u201d Hix said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the top of the list of technologies that will aid the Army war fighter, Hix said, are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/acquisition\/2018\/04\/16\/pentagon-updates-its-jedi-cloud-solicitation\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\">networks such as the cloud<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/acquisition\/2018\/04\/16\/pentagon-updates-its-jedi-cloud-solicitation\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>that can connect troops more effectively and virtual reality training systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe idea is that the immersion in a virtual environment gives the average leader the sets of reps to raise their game in ways that we have not been able to do because of the expense of live training,\u201d Hix said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But having all the technology in the world won\u2019t mean anything if the Army doesn\u2019t have a clear plan of how to use it, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTechnology by itself is not a panacea, ownership is not nine-tenths of the law in war,\u201d Hix said. \u201cYou have to have an intellectual concept that compliments and provides an integrated approach to how you leverage and integrate and eventually apply technology to solve problems.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With enemies improving their military technology, the Army needs to intelligently invest in the future of war fighting, Maj.
