Challenges Facing Army Technology

In July, the chapter welcomed Dr. Bill Craig, director of the Software Engineering Directorate (SED) for the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC). Craig has served as the director of AMRDEC/SED for more than 20 years. The SED Aviation and missile planning software is used on the U.S. presidential helicopter in addition to many other platforms throughout the Army. The SED also is responsible for development of the very popular America's Army video game. Craig's speech focused on the challenges the United States faces and the tools it has to meet them. In addition, he explained that although many items used every day are made in China, the United States provides the machinery to China to make them. “The USA's hope for keeping its standard of living is technology,” said Craig.
