U.S. Army Europe and Africa Best Warrior Competition

U.S. Army units from across Europe converge to compete for the title of Best Warrior. The week-long event tests Soldier skills, endurance, fortitude and resourcefulness as well as intellectual and problem-solving capabilities. Officers, noncommissioned officers and junior enlisted Soldiers compete in separate categories and are evaluated on general military knowledge, physical fitness and common military tasks.

While some of the competition tasks are standard such as the Army Physical Fitness Test, written test, marksmanship, ruck march, land navigation and command sergeants major board; some of the challenges such as chemical defense and medical tasks - added to the stress of fitting everything into a few short days - makes the competition extra tough.

Winners in the NCO and junior enlisted categories will advance to represent U.S. Army Europe and Africa at the Army Best Warrior Competition at Fort Lee, Virginia.

Aircraft pilots need accurate and reliable target information quickly to drive decision-making. Single sensor ATR systems are less robust to natural and adversary-induced difficult deployment conditions. Multi-sensor fusion provides robustness as different sensors will have complementary strengths and weaknesses to the varied operating conditions. In addition, fusion can combine information from current-generation sensors to enhance the warfighter's capability, significantly exceeding performance of single-sensor ATRs. Furthermore, the transition of this fusion capability is far more timely than next-generation sensor capability.
