She painted a future fight scenario that sounds as deadly \u2014 but even more complex \u2014 than what daily reports out of the Russian invasion of Ukraine show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe future will likely present complex, multi-access, combined arms fights,\u201d Wormuth said at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference at Fort Benning, Ga.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2022\/05\/19\/pentagon-tech-chief-wants-an-all-in-one-sensor\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/heidi-shyu.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Pentagon tech chief wants an \u2018all in one\u2019 sensor<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">It is one of several critical technologies that Heidi Shyu, the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, included in remarks at SOFIC.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That fight will play out on, \u201can expanded, noncontiguous battlefield that features dispersed forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those ground forces, unlike most of the major wars the Army fought over the past half-century will mean the service has to \u201cpay attention to their sea flanks and air flanks,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To succeed, the secretary said, she expects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/newsletters\/daily-news-roundup\/2022\/08\/03\/leaders-stop-stressing-the-metrics-army-reserve-chief-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">the 2030 Army<\/a> to \u201csee more, farther and more persistently at every echelon than our adversaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The secretary also wants the Army to converge hidden forces at optimal times, striking enemy targets. The third item was to \u201cwin the fires fight,\u201d meaning strike from farther with more accurate munitions, both steel on target and cyber or electronic warfare tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3320\" height=\"2371\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mshorad2.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mshorad2.jpg.jpg 3320w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mshorad2.jpg.jpg?resize=300,214 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mshorad2.jpg.jpg?resize=768,548 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mshorad2.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,731 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mshorad2.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1097 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mshorad2.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1463 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3320px) 100vw, 3320px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, was the first unit in the Army to receive the Mobile Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) system. (Capt. Jordan Allen\/Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While those soldiers are shooting, she wants them protected, or the first three don\u2019t matter, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In those complex sensors, shooters and protection devices must be able to communicate, sharing data rapidly in the Army and with the rest of the good guys. If you\u2019re counting, that\u2019s number five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, this future Army must sustain itself for post-combat operations, the protracted fight and fuel the rest of their partners, especially in the Pacific where the Army is the logistics overlord for all the services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far on the seeing and sensing side, she said new programs modernizing the Army\u2019s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/miltech\/2022\/06\/06\/us-army-closes-in-on-faster-jet-to-replace-guardrail-aircraft\/\" target=\"_blank\">multidomain sensing system that includes HADES<\/a>, is one move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coincidentally, or not, the Army\u2019s Program Executive Office for all things sensors, PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, announced Tuesday agreements that support that exact program with a three-phase prototype project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 24-month contract is worth $49 million in total, according to the release. L3 Harris and Raytheon Applied Signal Technology are contracted for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prototype seeks increased performance and sensitivity for sensors at high altitude in the multi-domain sensing system, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe sensors resulting from MDSS Sensor Evaluation Program will first be used on the MDSS HADES,\u201d the release reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army Times interviewed officials at the PEO in early September, who shared context on the larger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/intel-geoint\/isr\/2021\/06\/15\/army-orders-two-prototype-sensor-suites-for-next-generation-surveillance-plane\/\" target=\"_blank\">HADES <\/a>or High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System. The program is worked jointly with PEO Aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform is a civilian aircraft that the Army wants to use to coordinate theater-level sensing and joint targeting across vast distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ronald \u201cBoomer\u201d Rizzo, deputy product manager for manned aerial reconnaissance surveillance systems told reporters at the event at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, that HADES development is being fueled by two testbeds doing real-world rotations now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those are the ARTEMIS and ARES and later ATHENA. First fielded a few years ago was ARTEMIS, currently flying in U.S. European Command. The \u201chigh-demand asset\u201d runs as a kind of technology demonstrator. It flies for two to three weeks then returns to the United States for software and hardware upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ares.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ares.jpg.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ares.jpg.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ares.jpg.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ares.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Army is testing the Airborne Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare System, or ARES for short. (Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The testers fielded ARES in the Pacific to do the same a few months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll of this is to inform how we will ultimately build the HADES system,\u201d Rizzo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building off that will be the ATHENA \u201cbridging\u201d platform that will move legacy systems from turbo propeller aircraft to a modern, manned, business-class jet aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will also have a family of (unmanned aerial systems) that will do the same at the division, brigade and battalion level,\u201d Wormuth said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sensing is not confined to the friendly, or not-so-friendly, skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wormuth name-dropped the <a href=\"https:\/\/peoiews.army.mil\/titan-brings-together-systems-for-next-generation-intelligence-capabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\">TITAN system, <\/a>as well. It\u2019s another platform fueled by work at <a href=\"https:\/\/peoiews.army.mil\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">PEO IEW&amp;S<\/a>, also discussed at the recent media event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TITAN, Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node, is a twofold ground platform project working to connect brigades, divisions and corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It combines all that data soaked up by sensors with artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to deliver the right information at the right time to the right decision maker anywhere on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, it delivers \u201cdeep sensing\u201d from the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maj. Jermaine Wright, assistant product manager at PEO IEW&amp;S, told reporters that the TITAN system combines four legacy systems \u2014 Advanced Miniaturized Data Acquisition System; Dissemination Vehicle; Advanced Remote Ground Terminal; and Tactical Intelligence Ground Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping soldiers and their systems hidden but survivable means a tougher, faster \u201cArmor Fist,\u201d the secretary said. She highlighted recent work upgrading the Abrams tank, Bradleys and the upcoming Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those vehicles will enable fires supporters such as medical, engineers and logistics to keep up with their combat arms counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the same lane sits the Mobile Protected Firepower, essentially a light tank, that saw a $1.14 billion contract awarded to General Dynamics in June for low-rate initial production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s advancements in range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combined work to extend howitzer tubed artillery to push past 40 miles and other platforms capable of reaching 1,700 miles is a \u201creal step forward in our fires capabilities,\u201d Wormuth said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And on the protection side, the Army\u2019s first battalion of Mobile Short Range Air Defense, or M-SHORAD is headed to Europe next year, she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth shared areas the Army must improve for its
