US Army Capt. Melanie Smith, a capabilities developer, and Tom Vretis, lead engineer, both of Army Futures Command, describe the Rapid Manufacturing via Advanced Manufacturing on the Battlefield (R-FAB) system at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona., Oct. 19. The R-FAB system, being tested at Project Convergence 21, can be employed to 3D print important tools or other vital resources on the battlefield, which in the future may eliminate the need for long supply chains.

Project Convergence is the Army's campaign of learning designed to aggressively advance and integrate our Army's contributions, based on a continuous structured series of demonstrations and experiments throughout the year. It ensures that the Army is part of the joint fight and can rapidly and continuously integrate or converge effects across all domains: air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace; to overmatch our adversaries in competition and conflict.

Project Convergence ensures the Army has the right people with the right systems, properly enabled in the right places to support the joint fight. (US Army video by Cpl. Hunter Garcia)
