AUSA 2022. The Association of the United States Army’s annual conference is next week in Washington, D.C. The event is set to gather over 33,000 attendees and more than 650 exhibitors. Senior Army leaders and program officials are expected to provide updates on key modernization initiatives as well as detail the service’s new ‘Army of 2030’ doctrine. The new doctrine builds on the Army’s incremental effort over the last few years to develop a new Multi-Domain Operations concept, envisioning how the force must fight in the future. Programmatic updates will range from the service’s efforts to develop new Future Vertical Lift platforms and advanced combat vehicles to the burgeoning interest in vehicle electrification technologies, specifically hybrid-electric capabilities. Defense industry exhibitors at the conference are planning to showcase new capabilities for robotic platforms, combat vehicle upgrades, directed energy systems, counter-drone tools and more.
Space National Guard. As the U.S. Space Force continues to evaluate whether to create a Space National Guard or form a combined active duty and Reserve component that has members of the Air National Guard, the Air & Space Forces Association is backing the passage of S. 4179, the Space National Guard Act, introduced this year by Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). “Maintaining Air National Guard units with space responsibilities instead of forming a Space National Guard integrated with the Space Force as a whole, will only create inefficiencies and bureaucratic friction,” the Air & Space Forces Association wrote in a Sept. 27 letter to Feinstein and Rubio. The Army and Air National Guard have had 17 units dedicated to space missions in Guam and seven states—Florida, Colorado, New York, California, Ohio, Alaska, and Hawaii.
