December 31 (Insider) – US Army researchers and engineers have been busy this year, developing new capabilities and technologies that will help modernize the force.
Alexander Kott, chief scientist at Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory, recently picked the Army’s top 10 science and technology advancements of 2019. These are potentially game-changing developments that will help Army soldiers fight and win on future battlefields.
The list includes ongoing research and development efforts in material science, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
Kott told Insider that the research projects he selected were “the ones that had the potential for a long-term game change — something that could actually lead to a major change in future capabilities and, at the same time, that was well grounded in foundational science and technology.”
Here is what made the list.
