modernization of the British and U.S. armies in key technology areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/transatlantic-partnerships\/2020\/06\/22\/defense-planning-takes-a-back-seat-in-britains-struggle-to-shake-the-coronavirus\/\" target=_blank>British Armed Forces<\/a> Minister James Heappey and U.S. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy signed a memorandum of agreement on joint modernization for a number of technologies during a meeting in London, the British Ministry of Defence announced July 14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement, the British government said the agreement is a sign of \u201cintent to formalise a number of ongoing initiatives between the two Armies, boosting opportunities to co-operate effectively as modern warfare continues to evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement initially aims to cover developing, complementary capabilities from 2023 to 2027, specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Networks:<\/b> the shared development of digital infrastructure to support U.K.-U.S. operations.<\/li><li><b>Long-range precision fires:<\/b> improving the bilateral capability development.<\/li><li><b>Future vertical lift:<\/b> creating closer affiliation in the development of helicopter capabilities.<\/li><li><b>Soldier and ground lethality:<\/b> building on the existing collaboration to improve the effectiveness of land forces.<\/li><li><b>Assured positioning, navigation and timing:<\/b> providing greater coherence in the development of multidomain technologies.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to narrow the gap between British and American forces during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2020\/07\/03\/europe-must-take-on-its-own-defense-responsibilities\/\" target=_blank>joint operations<\/a>, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heappey said the agreement \u201csignals our shared determination to develop the novel capabilities that will give us that battle-winning edge and opportunity for the defense industry on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/transatlantic-partnerships\/\" target=_blank>both sides of the Atlantic<\/a>.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MoD said the officials discussed in detail plans to work together to modernize programs and capabilities of shared importance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCarthy said the partnership \u201callows costly and complex problems to be distributed and helps protect the industrial base through enabling faster innovation and cost-sharing towards achieving our modernization priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government officials have signed an agreement that could lead to
