Army Vehicles Get Technology Upgrades for Modernization Evaluations
March 21, 2016 | U.S. ArmyEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
"Once Fleet Build comes to completion, Soldiers are able to utilize the equipment hands-on," explained Mario Hernandez, lead training specialist for CPD. "Since the technology is new, continuous training and reinforcement is necessary to ensure our Soldiers are familiar with using the equipment, and so they become more proficient before going to test."
Training is a joint effort between acquisition organizations and the Brigade Modernization Command. Together they determine which Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) need to be trained on each system, to best maximize the proficiencies of Soldiers. Bringing Army and industry instructors and Soldiers together allows for more feedback, informing the development of the technology from an experienced Soldier's perspective.
Continuously assessing technology with Soldier feedback has become crucial to modernization efforts, which is why the spring NIEs will focus on formal evaluations, while the fall AWAs will have a more experimental environment to shape concepts and requirements.Page 2 of 2
