US Army Africa unit links soldiers with new battlefield technology
Original: SETAF-AF connects Soldiers, technology to accelerate battlefield innovation
US Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) is running an effort to connect soldiers directly with emerging technology in order to speed up innovation on the battlefield. The initiative brings troops and developers together so equipment and tools can be tested and refined based on feedback from those using them in the field. The Army says the goal is to shorten the path from new ideas to operational use.
Why now: The US military is pushing to accelerate adoption of new technology as battlefield innovation becomes a priority.
