This panel event took place at AUSA Annual 2026.
Battle management is no longer a future capability, it’s an operational requirement across today’s Army formations. From homeland defense to maneuver, fires, intelligence, and forward operations, units are facing mission challenges that demand faster decision-making, resilient data exchange, and the ability to act across distributed, contested environments. Meeting this need means moving beyond pilots and prototypes toward fielded, interoperable systems that work with what the Army already owns. This Defense News panel explores how Army and industry leaders are turning battle management from concept into an integrated, scalable capability soldiers can use now.
