Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiments

WELCOME to the Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiments (AEWE) Facebook page!

The Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiments (AEWE) is the Army’s premier prototype technology and concept event focused on the squad and small units. Prototype experimentation has a critical role in shaping the future Army between now and 2025. In truth, technology insertions by 2025 are already in a Program of Record, Science and Technology program, or an industry Commercial Off the Shelve (COTS).

The AEWE campaign of experimentation follows the Chief of Staff of the Army’s guidance to use a bottom up approach to modernization. The Army of 2025 must be prepared for the full range of military operations from sustained combat operations to small-scale humanitarian assistance operations. The Army in 2025 will be smaller, leaner, and more expeditionary. It will be a more agile force with greater lethality enabled by technology. The AEWE campaign is an essential enabler of that pursuit. The Army is shifting its focus from near term solutions to the mid and far term in order to maximize the Force 2025 effort and shape technology investment. AEWE provides a annual venue with close linkages to ASA(ALT), TRAC, AMSAA, RDECOM, DARPA, industry, and the architects of S&T futures. No less valuable is its centrality to the MCoE Infantry and Armor proponencies. The value of AEWE as a venue to shape the 2025 force includes an expansive support infrastructure at Fort Benning and its ability to draw upon resident conventional and special operations units, and active participation with the TCM formation managers, concept and capability developers, and doctrine and training SMEs. Their collaborative processes shape warfighting functional concepts, S&T solutions, and the organizational design. AEWE is the Army venue central to that collective effort and essential to the Force 2025 vision.
