Acquisition Reform Efforts Gain Momentum In Fiscal 2027
The Army’s FUZE innovation hub is setting its sights on more complex acquisition challenges in fiscal 2027, with a focus on leveraging existing mechanisms to address bigger Army acquisition problems. According to FUZE Director Matt Willis, the organization’s goal is to find new technologies and deliver them to the warfighter faster, with a particular emphasis on low-cost interceptors. The hub has already shown success in accelerating the deployment of new technologies, with 16 xTech competitions held in fiscal 2026 focused on drones, counter-drone systems, electronic warfare, and energy resiliency.
