USAREUR-AF International Tank Challenge

US Army Europe Best Warrior Logo

U.S. Army Europe and Africa, along with our NATO and Partner Allies, annually host a Tank Challenge. This training event is designed to give participating nations a dynamic and productive environment in which to foster military partnerships, form Soldier-level relationships, and share tactics, techniques and procedures.
 
The European International Tank Challenge was formerly known as the Strong Europe Tank Challenge. Images, video and stories that are older will appear under that name further down the timeline.

Soldier Deployable Geospatial Technologies
SDGT is a collection of geospatial technologies that enables the Soldier to autonomously acquire high-resolution 2D and 3D mapping data on-demand.
SDGT technologies:
Mapping micro unmanned airborne systems – Micro-UMS are very light (1.5 lbs.), fixed-wing platforms with an endurance of 45 minutes or greater. Hundreds of still-frame images of the mission area are loaded into a photogrammetry software on a laptop.
Mast and tower-mounted LIDAR – continuous wave laser scanning system collects 3D terrain with accurate change detection and automatically integrates changes. It detects and identifies sniper scopes.
FMV-to-3D software – processes full motion video from any airborne DoD, MISB-compliant platform. Software creates 2D orthomosaics, digital elevation data, passive 3D point clouds and textured 3D models.
