The United States Army is preparing to unveil its new air and missile defense strategy for 2040 within the next three months, according to Lieutenant General Sean Gainey. This forthcoming strategy will address lessons learned from recent conflicts and incorporate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, human-machine integration, and the Integrated Battle Command System. The Army aims to expand its air and missile defense capabilities by thirty percent over the next eight years, focusing on both offensive and defensive integration, and prioritizing 'smart missile defeat' to counter evolving threats. The strategy also emphasizes a greater role for the Space and Missile Defense Command in protecting the homeland, reflecting significant changes in how the Army plans to fight future wars.
