The Army's Virtual Proving Ground

Virtual Proving Ground (VPG), which uses synthetic environments to conduct human-in-the-loop experimentation, was delivered alongside Army Warfighting Experiment’s (AWE) live activity, providing evidence beyond the scope of the live experimentation.
This experiment ran across two weeks at Copehill Down with 2nd Battalion, The Royal Yorkshire Regiment from Experimentation and Trials Group (ETG). It also included embedded support with international partner nations.
It enabled users to get hands on experience with emerging capabilities exploring their employability, effect on cognitive load and early development of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
