Army to host Project Convergence starting next month in California

The Army will host Project Convergence, its series of experiments and events focused on building readiness, beginning next month in California along with four other U.S. military services and militaries from six other nations.

The events will run Feb. 23 through March 20, with events taking place at Camp Pendleton and the Army’s National Training Center at Ft. Irwin, according to a Wednesday announcement. The Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Space Force are the other U.S. services that will participate. Additionally, militaries from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, France and Japan will be present.

A media day at Camp Pendleton will “showcase experimentation technologies from phase one,” and will feature discussion on joint experimentation, fires, command and control, contested logistics and multination integration, according to the announcement.

The Army last held Project Convergence in the fall of 2022, which included experimenting with a missile defense system detecting ground threats and passing information to a long-range strike system.
