programme on 29 March through the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC), which manages the service’s prototyping effort.
The UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and the British Army are testing a new experimental force concept to enhance combat capabilities in future urban operations.
Also known as Urban Phalanx, the study aims to test a series of new concepts to help small units achieve dominance in future urban combat environments, especially for dismounted light soldiers.
The focus of the experiment will be to enhance combat efficiency by making certain structural and lethality changes.

The US Army has successfully deployed its first long-range hypersonic weapon (LRHW) system to practise a full range of expeditionary hypersonic launch capabilities.
The weapon system was deployed by the 1st Multi-Domain Task Force (1st MDTF) long-range fires battalion, 5th Battalion and 3rd Field Artillery Regiment (5-3 LRFB).
It was fielded more than 3,100 miles away from the Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington to Cape Canaveral in Florida, as part of the exercise Thunderbolt Strike last month.
