During Project Convergence 21, the Future Vertical Lift Cross-Functional Team experimented with using Air Launched Effects to help Soldiers see the battlefield and extend their reach. Using Soldiers in the field allowed the FVL CFT to get valuable Soldier feedback on an emerging capability.

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.
