    Behind The Frontlines: Enabling the Warfighter - CECOM ASIC Accelerates Help Desk Support via GenAI Integration
    Jun 12 2026
    The Army is wasting no time implementing artificial intelligence (AI) into its enterprise structures. In recent months, the United States Army Communications-Electronics Command Army Software and Innovation Center (CECOM ASIC) has aggressively incorporated AI capabilities into its Enterprise Help Desk (EHD) that services the Army’s critical Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems—massive software applications that manage and track the Army’s budget and global supply chain. A subset of AI, Generative AI (GenAI) synthesizes answers from expansive knowledge sources to provide immediate answers to end users. The overarching mission of integrating GenAI into ERP systems is to increase readiness by automating responses for common fixes, enabling analysts to resolve more tickets faster. Because AI can automate routine fixes for users, it gives more time for analysts to prioritize their efforts on complex mission-critical problems.

    Behind The Frontlines: Enabling the Warfighter - ATEC Continuous Evaluation Campaign
    Jun 9 2026
    The Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) is committed to doing better. As the Army moves at speed toward continuous transformation, ATEC is fundamentally changing how we support decisions to deploy new capabilities that defeat emerging threats. The linear, sequential model—contractor testing followed by independent government developmental testing, followed by an independent government operational test, with little feedback before a final summary evaluation report—does not support the Army’s need to exploit emerging technologies, quickly, to field new or improved capabilities.
