The Army’s modernization agenda is unprecedented in scale, spanning everything from long-range precision fires and network upgrades to next-generation combat vehicles and soldier lethality programs. But progress is uneven, with some programs racing forward while others face funding, testing, or integration hurdles. The question is whether the Army can accelerate success while still building long-term, sustainable capability. In this panel event, Defense News provided a clear look at the Army’s modernization effort, its successes, setbacks, and the critical programs to watch next.
