原文：

The US Army is embarking on a month-long effort to assess portions of its modernisation portfolio and determine what steps it needs to take to successfully link sensors and shooters to down targets.

Between 11 August and 18 September, more than 500 people will be participating in Project Convergence 2020 at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, with the goal of demonstrating specific threads within an artificial intelligence （AI） enabled kill web with a two-sensors, two-shooters, and two-targets framework, said Army Futures Command （AFC）spokeswoman Robyn Mack.

The demonstration serves as the foundation for learning and establishing a base architecture for artificial intelligence at the tactical edge for brigade and below, she stressed. Further, this demonstration will benchmark the current capabilities of network infrastructure to support the warfighter in real time
