Gen. Brandon Tegtmeier, deputy commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division, told Defense News in an interview following the completion of the exercise known as EDGE 22, which took place at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s just a small thing,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a lot of progress to make still, but again, a really good step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the Army reported a call for fire was achieved through a Dutch-run waveform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s EDGE series of exercises began last year and is slated to continue annually in coordination with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/03\/29\/project-convergence-2022-will-focus-on-both-indo-pacific-and-european-scenarios\/\" target=\"_blank\">Project Convergence<\/a>, a larger event in the fall. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/01\/28\/army-to-hold-big-aviation-focused-exercise-ahead-of-project-convergence-out-west\/\" target=\"_blank\">EDGE is considered the practice round<\/a> for the aerial tier of PC. This year, Project Convergence, now in its third iteration, brought in international partners for the first time; EDGE then followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project Convergence examines and tests how the Army plans to fight against near-peer adversaries across all domains using capability slated for fielding in roughly 2030 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EDGE, this year, was focused on a European theater scenario centered around<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/2017\/07\/21\/romania-does-multidomain-battle-on-danube\/\" target=\"_blank\"> a wet gap crossing<\/a>. The 82nd Airborne and other allied units at the exercise were tasked with defeating an enemy\u2019s integrated air defense systems. That would then lead to the second phase, introducing maneuver forces through air assaults to seize two different pieces of terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netherlands, Italy and Germany were active participants in the exercise, while Australia, Canada, France and the United Kingdom were observers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">German and Italian forces participated in the combined air assault with the 82nd. The Germans brought their German Future Soldier System, and Italian soldiers brought their Targeting and Communication Command Kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Netherlands contributed its Joint Air Ground Gateway, a command-and-control tactical node, and was able to successfully integrate the node into the Windows Tactical Assault Kit (WINTAK), a map-based application that provide operators position data, a chat function and mission planning capabilities across a shared picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise relied on the Variable Message Format communication protocol, understood by all NATO forces, to communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think everybody would admit we are not where we need to be with our allies,\u201d Tegtmeier said. \u201cI think having those nations present out at Edge 22 is a huge step forward in terms of fixing that problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exercises like EDGE, he noted, generate new technology ideas and new possibilities to increase interoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the scenario, the 82nd\u2019s Tactical Command Post served as a Combined Joint Task Force headquarters.<b> <\/b>The headquarters was positioned well outside the range of enemy long-range fires that it would not have been able to assume using current fleet capabilities. The Army expects to have vast improvements when it comes to speed and range from its Future Vertical Lift fleet with a planned fielding timeline of 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work the Army did as a coalition with its allies \u201creally informed our gaps when it comes to cross-domain solutions within the coalition,\u201d Maj. Gen. Wally Rugen, who oversees the Army\u2019s FVL development, told Defense News in a recent interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt went much better than expected,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise also helped the service and its coalition partners further understand the technical challenge of achieving the ultimate interoperability goal \u2014 being able to work from a single screen in the CJTF environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coalition used a cross-domain solution certified waveform to perform a number of vignettes in which sensitive but unclassified data was passed into a secret enclave and then out to an unclassified one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe reason that\u2019s important is really being able to go from strategic to tactical, tactical to strategic in a very agile manner,\u201d Rugen said, referring to the way digital data was securely passed between those performing the tactical mission and the headquarters coordinating the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But coalition interoperability remains a challenge, Rugen said, because it\u2019s not yet clear what data should be passed and what the U.S. and its partners should keep to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe should have the ability to filter that [data] out but still provide useful information to our coalition partners and vice versa,\u201d Rugen said. \u201cThere\u2019s an ability to filter out that metadata and then give useful things to either the tactical edge or the strategic decision makers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Findings at EDGE will inform policies going forward, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving forward, the coalition needs to come to a decision on what waveforms and databases are used as a standard of operation and construct a gateway that allows the right data to flow, Rugen said. Then that gateway has to be interoperable within everyone\u2019s network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In EDGE, the Army used a variety of waveforms including TSM and Link-16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the exercise, \u201cwe didn\u2019t necessarily care what the parallel network was, if somebody has a different one. \u2026 It doesn\u2019t matter what the black box is,\u201d Rugen said. In other words, the exercise proved interoperability as a concept, but the Pentagon and its allies and partners will have to determine what hardware and software will be standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army, over 19 days at EDGE, said it achieved 67 technical objectives with 34 first-time events using over 17 distinct FVL-related technologies and capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These included experimentation with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/aaaa\/2022\/04\/05\/release-the-hounds-army-event-to-feature-drone-swarms-that-behave-like-a-wolf-pack\/\" target=\"_blank\">Air-Launched Effects swarm <\/a>launched by a surrogate aircraft flying as Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft. The swarms evaluated at EDGE mark the largest ALE-small swarm to date. The Army deployed about 25 drones in four waves using the service\u2019s \u201cWolfpack\u201d concept for intelligent swarms, allowing the aircraft to stimulate, hunt, kill and assess threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army also used two waveforms that allowed the swarm to double ALE range from missions executed last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the service\u2019s Aerial Tier Network (ATN), which provides digital and voice communication, saw further refinement and improvement, according to Rugen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army also evaluated a number of dual-use sensors typically used for protection, but, at EDGE, were used for lethal effects. Radar warning receivers in aircraft cockpits, for example, transferred data of incoming fire through the network to the CJTF to be used for targeting, Rugen said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army and several international partners made headway to achieve battlefield interoperability at EDGE 22 at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah,
