WARFIGHTER SOLUTIONS. OPERATIONAL OVERMATCH.

PIT Priorities

To maintain operational tempo, reduce Soldier risk, and preserve overmatch, the U.S. Army requires integrated, modernized, and autonomous solutions to increase survivability, enhance sustainment, and extend operational reach across all domains.

Solutions Through Soldier-Driven Innovation.

Addressing Army Warfighting Gaps

The U.S. Army faces increasingly complex challenges across diverse operational environments, including breaching operations, distributed logistics, expeditionary power requirements, and extreme Arctic terrains. Current capabilities constrain protected maneuver, autonomous sustainment, energy resilience, and mobility in austere conditions.

All Arms Maneuver
Inability to expand combined arms operational reach through endurance and lethality to exploit all-domain maneuver, both manned and unmanned.
Command and Control (C2) and Counter C2
Network
Insufficient secure reliable, and survivable communications architectures.
Command and Control
C2 Overmatch: Lack of integrated mobile C2 systems and processes to manage data and information supporting shared understanding for effective and timely multi-domain decision making.
Counter C2: Lack ability to deny/defeat/mislead persistent threats in all-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance/observation/targeting.
Network & Command Post (CP) Survivability
Insufficient resiliency of CP and systems infrastructure.
Information Advantage
Lack ability to seize, retain and exploit an advantage over adversaries and enemies in information, cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum.
Battlefield Visibility & C2 Overmatch
Insufficient deep-sensing capabilities providing persistent multi-domain battlefield visibility.
Formation Based Layer Protection
Force Preparation & Protecting the Force
Inability to maintain a sufficient state of readiness for rapid transition to conflict in all domains.
Limited ability to protect themselves and other dispersed forces in all operational areas to include the ability to blend in with surroundings.
Adaptive Sustainment
Inter & Intra-Theater Lift
Intra-Theater Lift: Insufficient multi-domain ability to move units, personnel, cargo, material within the area of responsibility (AOR) or joint operations area (JOA) to the point of need.
Inter-Theater Lift: Limited multi-domain ability to rapidly transport forces, supplies, and/or casualties from the homeland to joint operations areas or points of need.
Conduct Equipment Repair Operations
Maintenance Operations: Limited ability to maintain, repair, fabricate, and recover/reconstitute equipment in all domains for prolonged durations.
Expeditionary Power
Supply Operations: Limited ability for conducting rapid supply (all classes of supply, energy, etc.) field services, and logistics operations for prolonged durations.
Mass Casualty Treatment & Soldier Support
Mass Casualty: Limited ability to provide/receive health services during large scale combat operations inside and outside of the AOR/JOA.
Soldier Support Operations: Limited ability to provide/receive personnel services to Soldiers, both living and deceased to include financial and spiritual during prolonged durations.
Cross Domain Fires
Deliberate & Dynamic Targeting
Inability to utilize pre-planned targeting and to rapidly exploit time sensitive opportunities for converging delivery of combined Joint/Multi-national lethal/non-lethal fires.
Cross-Domains Fire Delivery
Army formations (at echelon) lack sufficient capability to synchronize employment of both kinetic (Fires) and non-kinetic (Cyber/Electronic Warfare) effectors in all operational domains to achieve desired effects for Foreign Object Elimination.
Defend Airspace & Space Operations
Defend Airspace: Limited ability to protect/defend airspace from manned and un-manned aerial systems and advanced cruise/ballistic missiles for extended durations.
Space Operations: Limited access and control of non-interrupted protected assets in the contested space domain.
