## 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.
