Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) is the Army's soldier-led evaluations of various concept and technologies. NIE 16.1 is held at Fort Bliss, Texas, and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, from Sept. 25 through Oct. 8, 2015. NIE 16.1 is special because it is also the final proof of concept for Army Warfighting Assessments (AWAs) on informing network and non-network requirements to support Force 2025 and Beyond. AWAs are large-scale exercises that will commence in in 2017.
New technologies evaluated during NIE 16.1 include coalition network capabilities, expeditionary command posts, operational energy capabilities, and manned/unmanned teaming (air and ground robotics). The video shows a remotely controlled weapon system deployed on a tower for security perimeter of an expeditionary camp. The system can be fired from inside the command post using a camera sight.
With a network of weaponized towers guarding the perimeter, a commander can afford to have more soldiers deployed for operations and other duties. Two soldiers inside the camp's operation center can effectively guard the camp perimeter, a task that previously require ten soldiers.
