SMDC/ARSTRAT Future warfare center

The Future Warfare Center, with offices in Huntsville, Ala., Colorado Springs, Colo., and Fort Eustis, VA is responsible for building future space and missile defense forces. FWC includes a Battle Lab, Directorate of Combat, Directorate for Training and Doctrine, Decision Support Directorate and a Training and Doctrine Command capability manager for space and ground-based missile defense. FWC develops the Army’s space and missile defense doctrine and concepts, validates requirements, and ensures Army-wide solution integration. The FWC rapidly advances innovations for space, missile defense, high altitude and cyber to the Warfighter through prototype development, experimentation and wargames, analytical assessments, and modeling and simulation development. FWC provides institutional space and missile defense training to the force, and is the user representative to ensure vertical integration of Doctrine, Organizations, Training, Materiel, Leadership Education, Personnel, and Facilities activities across ballistic missile defense systems elements for which the Army has been designated as lead service (currently ground-based missile defense and AN/TPY-2). Additional FWC roles performed for the joint community include management of high performance computer centers, threat scenario design, command and control engineering, and Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration management.
