The Army Warfighting Experiment: The Urban Series 2022-24 focuses on war fighting in the urban environment, preparing the Army for future conflict in an increasingly urbanised world.
It is designed to align experimentation to the tactical functions, developing each focus area year-on-year until integrating them all during a final experiment.
This will provide the evidence to inform the Army and Defence which capabilities must be invested in and developed for the Army to remain competitive on the global stage. The Army Warfighting Experiment has been and remains the flagship experimentation programme for the British Army.
Through AWE the Army will forge relationships with industry, academia, allies, and partners, and also message our allies and adversaries that the British Army will adapt for the future with cutting-edge technological advances.
Purpose
The Urban Series will conduct experimentation focused on the urban environment to optimize the Army for Urban Operations, incorporating dawning technologies into brigade, battle-group, and sub-echelon capabilities.
