Tese difficulties are made even more complicated by the fast pace of technological changes.
To navigate, the Army is embarking on a transformational journey that supports Army modernization of a more lethal, ready and digital Army of 2030 that can dominate in technological environments. Tere are efforts underway to modernize and drive toward open systems for interoperability and flexibility across oper- ational and technical architectures; simplifying data collection and organizing complex data into a more straightforward format that allows effective and effi- cient data-driven decisions; and reforming the software development process to enable smaller, faster, incremental delivery of capabilities.
