What project PC1 buys
This project supports the Army's campaign of learning experimentation called Project Convergence (PC) . PC is a multi-year Army hosted joint and coalition experimentation plan focused on designing and delivering the Army of the future. This is a concept-informed experiment that incorporates deliberate modernization efforts in a field environment. Continuous, planning and structured series of demonstrations and experiments culminates at Capstone. This singular periodic experiment pulls together concepts, technology, requirements, and gaps. The purpose of these efforts is to learn and mitigate risk for current and future forces. Joint Services, Army Organizations, industry and academia collaborate in the development, refinement, and assessment and outcomes of future force concepts, capabilities and formations. This project also supports research required to oppose adversary technologies in the operational environment.
Project PC1 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
Continues PC/Capstone IAW Army priorities to aggressively advance solutions in the areas of people, weapons systems, command and control, information, and terrain, and integrates the Army's contribution to Joint All Domain Operations. Through experimentation and learning, PC helps ensure that the Army has the war-fighting concept and…
