So it seems that Project Convergence got off to a rocky start. Of the two Excalibur rounds fired, one failed in flight and missed its target, the other one came close. A UAV replicating a future VTOL capability engaged one target with a GBU, the second GBU-69 failed and was lost.
In the third phase the mortars used by deployed infantry intended to replicate NGCV missed all targets with all shots fired. The network, which utilised MEO and LEO satellites as well as Prometheus AI seems to have performed adequately.
Director of the Network Cross-Functional Team (CFT) Major GeneralPeter Gallagher told Janes that this was an experiment, with the network built in a very short space of time, from the ground up. Expect more developments of the project in the near future.
