Experiment Overview
Purpose: AEWE is the Army’s primary venue for experimentation focusing at the small unit level. AEWE
supports small unit modernization by providing Cross Function Teams (CFT), Centers of Excellence (CoE)
capability developers, Science and Technology (S&T) community, and industry a repeatable, credible,
rigorous, and TRADOC G2 validated operational experiment supporting both concept and materiel
development.
Key outcomes
• Inform Maneuver Functional Concepts
• Inform Maneuver Capability Requirements
• Inform BCT and SFAB O&O
• Inform CFTs’ Technology Concept & Capability Development
• Inform Joint/Army S&T Priorities, Investment, and
Development
• Inform DOTMLPF Decisions in BCT and Small Unit
Modernization
• Inform Future Force Decisions (JCID milestone, AROC,
AoAs, BOIPs)
• Conduct Program of Record Risk Reduction Assessments
• Conduct Industry Partnership to Influence R&D Investment
• Conduct Interoperability Assessments with Partner Nations

Characteristics of Participation
• There is no fee to participate in AEWE-your only costs would be system
support/manufacture, travel, and possibly costs associated with the
government safety release.
• Venue allows you the ability to test-fix-test in stride.
• Attend three planning conferences.
• Work with the Army to complete a safety release for Soldiers to use your
capability.
• Minimal other administrative paperwork.
• Vendor Demonstration Agreement
• DD 2400 series forms and Air Worthiness Release for aircraft
• As required attend integration and/or installation activities.
• Provide training to Soldiers on your capability.
• Provide “Field Service Representative”-like support during the experiment.

Three Ways to Participate
• Force-on-Force Exercises.
• Integrates your capability into squad, platoon, and company-level
maneuver exercises.
• Free play maneuvers with a dedicated, capable Opposition Force.
• Longest time commitment.
• Live Fire.
• Appropriate if your capability would not fit well into the Force-on-Force
event.
• Examples include terminal effect/explosives demonstration or live fire
with weapons.
• Short Excursion.
• Appropriate if your capability would not fit well into the Force-on-Force
Event.
• Examples are water purification, virtual training systems.

Quad Chart
Template
If you submit a quad and white paper for Industry Day, let us know your tiering
and who you briefed. We will consult with that office for sponsorship in AEWE.
AEWE 2021 6
Government Sponsorship
• Once we receive your quad chart and white paper, the Maneuver Battle
Lab (MBL) will share those with DoD stakeholders for sponsorship.
• Sponsorship means that a government organization has an interest in
seeing the capability in AEWE and will assist the MBL in developing an
assessment plan.
• Government sponsors submit to the MBL a one page description of interest
in the capability including:
• Objectives for the experiment
• Applicable gaps, requirements, or programs informed
• MBL provides experiment findings to the sponsors.

Second Call for Technologies
AEWE is tentatively planning on releasing a second call for technologies in June 2020.
Note that the original call for technologies information is on the AEWE website. The
additional capabilities that we seek include:
1. Autonomous resupply to move critical supplies to the point of need.
2. Capabilities that link sensors to effectors such as artillery, mortars, or close air
support.
3. Unmanned ISR systems that possess multiple domain sensor capabilities (i.e.
both optical and Electronic Warfare (EW) sensors).
4. Electronic Warfare (EW) attack and threat EW attack detection / protection
within the BCT.
The second call for technologies will be posted on the AEWE website. We can also
send it directly to your organization. To request that, request the second tech call
information via an e-mail to usarmy.benning.tradoc.mbx.mbl-expeditionary-
warrior-experiments@mail.mil.
