FORT IRWIN, Calif.— To secure a decisive warfighting advantage, Army Aviation must project power beyond the enemy’s threat ring. By penetrating and defeating an adversary’s Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) from a standoff distance, Army Aviation opens critical corridors that allow the subsequent infiltration of joint systems, precision fires, and other manned and unmanned assets. Above the high-desert sands of Fort Irwin during Project Convergence-Capstone 6 (PC-C6), Army Aviation demonstrated decisive air-launched capabilities in contested airspace. The U.S. Army proved it was actively delivering integrated sensor-to-shooter lethality to the tactical edge by pairing two Active/Passive Infrared launch effects (LEs) — which successfully executed the mission to detect, identify, locate, and report (DILR) the threat — with a third, “lethal LE” Long-Range Precision Munition (LRPM) that executed the terminal strike. PC-C6 is the premier Army-hosted experiment that allowsthejointforceandmultinational alliesand partnersto integrate people, equipment, and technologies to support continuous transformation efforts aimed at shaping how future warfighters willoperatein fast-paced, high-techenvironments. Understanding the Portfolio: Finding and Finishing The LE portfolio is not a single drone; it is a comprehensive ecosystem of diverse capabilities categorized by range (short, medium, long) and payload (lethal, non-lethal, electronic warfare, and enabling reconnaissance through sensing) tailored to meet…
