Experiment Overview
AEWE 2021
Key outcomes• Inform Maneuver Functional Concepts• Inform Maneuver Capability Requirements• Inform BCT and SFAB O&O• Inform CFTs’ Technology Concept & Capability Development• Inform Joint/Army S&T Priorities, Investment, and
Development• Inform DOTMLPF Decisions in BCT and Small Unit
Modernization• Inform Future Force Decisions (JCID milestone, AROC,
AoAs, BOIPs)• Conduct Program of Record Risk Reduction Assessments• Conduct Industry Partnership to Influence R&D Investment• Conduct Interoperability Assessments with Partner Nations
Purpose: AEWE is the Army’s primary venue for experimentation focusing at the small unit level. AEWE supports small unit modernization by providing Cross Function Teams (CFT), Centers of Excellence (CoE) capability developers, Science and Technology (S&T) community, and industry a repeatable, credible, rigorous, and TRADOC G2 validated operational experiment supporting both concept and materiel development.

What We Can Do For You
AEWE 2021
Provide Soldier feedback on your capability in an operational setting & provide you an opportunity to interact with Soldiers that use your capability.
• Enables you to improve the military utility of your capability.
Inform your internal research and development efforts.
Highlight your capability to government stakeholders.
Opportunity to partner with other industry participants.
Exposure to Army capability developers.
You will receive a capabilities and limitations report on your capability.

Characteristics of Participation
AEWE 2021
• There is no fee to participate in AEWE-your only costs would be system support/manufacture, travel, and possibly costs associated with the government safety release.
• Venue allows you the ability to test-fix-test in stride.
• Attend three planning conferences.
• Work with the Army to complete a safety release for Soldiers to use your capability.
• Minimal other administrative paperwork.
• Vendor Demonstration Agreement
• DD 2400 series forms and Air Worthiness Release for aircraft
• As required attend integration and/or installation activities.
• Provide training to Soldiers on your capability.
• Provide “Field Service Representative”-like support during the experiment.

Three Ways to Participate
AEWE 2021
• Force-on-Force Exercises.
• Integrates your capability into squad, platoon, and company-level maneuver exercises.
• Free play maneuvers with a dedicated, capable Opposition Force.
• Longest time commitment.
• Live Fire.
• Appropriate if your capability would not fit well into the Force-on-Force event.
• Examples include terminal effect/explosives demonstration or live fire with weapons.
• Short Excursion.
• Appropriate if your capability would not fit well into the Force-on-Force Event.
• Examples are water purification, virtual training systems.

Government Sponsorship
• Once we receive your quad chart and white paper, the Maneuver Battle Lab (MBL) will share those with DoD stakeholders for sponsorship.
• Sponsorship means that a government organization has an interest in seeing the capability in AEWE and will assist the MBL in developing an assessment plan.
• Government sponsors submit to the MBL a one page description of interest in the capability including:
• Objectives for the experiment
• Applicable gaps, requirements, or programs informed
• MBL provides experiment findings to the sponsors.

Second Call for Technologies
AEWE 2021
AEWE is tentatively planning on releasing a second call for technologies in June 2020. Note that the original call for technologies information is on the AEWE website. The additional capabilities that we seek include:1. Autonomous resupply to move critical supplies to the point of need. 2. Capabilities that link sensors to effectors such as artillery, mortars, or close air
support. 3. Unmanned ISR systems that possess multiple domain sensor capabilities (i.e.
both optical and Electronic Warfare (EW) sensors).4. Electronic Warfare (EW) attack and threat EW attack detection / protection
within the BCT.
The second call for technologies will be posted on the AEWE website. We can also send it directly to your organization. To request that, request the second tech call information via an e-mail to usarmy.benning.tradoc.mbx.mbl-expeditionary-warrior-experiments@mail.mil.
