That proximity not only helps ensure a capability is informed by user needs, but it helps the process move more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moore said her office\u2019s efforts will be anchored by regular experimentation. Rather than host one-off events, CENTCOM, one of 11 unified combatant commands of the U.S. Department of Defense, will run these exercises at regular intervals, testing a technology, pushing it to the field and then using that feedback to make it better during the next round of experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Naval Force\u2019s Central Command is in the midst of one such experimentation campaign \u2014 a three-week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navy.mil\/Press-Office\/News-Stories\/Article\/3227184\/us-launches-new-unmanned-ai-systems-integration-event\/\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Horizon<\/a> event in Bahrain, which started in late November and is focused on integrating uncrewed and artificial intelligence technology. CENTCOM will host another exercise, called Scarlet Dragon Oasis, in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with these campaigns, the command announced in September it would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2022\/09\/07\/new-us-military-testing-facility-coming-to-saudi-arabia\/\" target=\"_blank\">create an organization called Red Sands<\/a> to focus on integrated counter UAS testing and experimentation. CENTCOM\u2019s initial vision was for the center to be based in Saudi Arabia, but Moore said it will instead function as a traveling program office that responds to regional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe recognition that we had was that counter UAS is such a broadly shared problem in the region and there were so many partners that wanted to take part in it that we wanted to ensure that we were able to bring those folks in earlier rather than later,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Sands will host its first exercise next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CTO team is also working to solicit and elevate ideas from within the command. CENTCOM, whose area of responsibility includes the Middle East, Northeast Africa, Central Asia and parts of South Asia<b>,<\/b> held its first Innovation Oasis competition in October, drawing ideas and inventions from across the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe tech can come from the commercial sector, it can come from DoD \u2014 the idea can come from a sergeant, the idea can come from a general,\u201d she said. \u201cThe point is to get the best tech into the hands of the people who need it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moore was joined during the briefing by the winner of the October event, Army Sergeant Mickey Reeve, who used his spare time during a deployment to Saudi Arabia to develop counter UAS training software. The tool was designed to \u201cbridge\u201d the various proprietary counter UAS systems that are used to target different types of threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat this tool is intended to do is to provide the opportunity for the boots on the ground that are closest to the threat and closest to their operational environment to mimic that environment as accurately as possible and to, as well, deploy threats against their base and to train against threats on their base that they see and that they interact with, sometimes daily,\u201d Reeve said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CENTCOM is working with the Army\u2019s software factory to field the tool within the next three months, according to Moore. She noted that while the software application as designed with CENTCOM threats in mind, it could have implications for other commands, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/11\/28\/us-army-air-defense-planners-take-on-rising-drone-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\">especially as demand grows<\/a> for technology that can identify, track and counter drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is not unique to CENTCOM,\u201d Moore said. \u201cCounter UAS is something that all of us are going to have to deal with. And to the extent that we can integrate their feedback into what we build with Sergeant Reeve so that it\u2019s applicable to multiple regions, we would love to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CENTCOM&#8217;s new chief technology officer wants to develop a regular cadence of experimentation within the
