  • •The Army is restructuring to prioritize autonomous systems with the new FASCOM.
  • •Corps-level experiments will test various autonomous technologies across the Army.
  • •CISA is launching exercises to improve resilience against cyberattacks for critical infrastructure.

The U.S. Army announced a significant restructuring to enhance its focus on autonomous systems, transforming its Futures Command into the Futures and Autonomous Systems Command (FASCOM). This initiative aims to consolidate five research organizations under a three-star general, with plans for corps-level experiments involving autonomous technologies. General Christopher LaNeve emphasized that the Army's goal is to field these capabilities by fiscal year 2028. Concurrently, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is preparing critical infrastructure operators for cyber incidents through tabletop exercises, part of its CI Fortify initiative. These developments reflect a broader push for autonomy in military operations and enhanced cybersecurity preparedness.
