The Program Executive Office for Aviation Combat Aviation Brigade Architecture Integration Lab conducted its first Technology Insertion Event, June 21-25.
The eventâs purpose was to incorporate maturing technologies and products from selected industry vendors into a simulated aviation force to explore and examine their relative operational value.
The CABAIL staff teamed with groups from the Redstone Test Center and the Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center to develop, organize and conduct this event. Aircrews and staff personnel from Army National Guard units of three states (Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina) provided the personnel for the event.
âWeâre helping determine what the future aviators could get to further their situational awareness,â 1st Lt. Andrew Rines, a Black Hawk pilot with the Tennessee National Guard, said. âAn overall ability to influence the battlefield is critical for engagements we may face in the future.â
