The Army is launching a new office to more quickly field capabilities and improve its slow-moving acquisition system, the Army secretary said on Wednesday.

Eric Fanning announced the formation of the Rapid Capabilities Office, which will focus on rapid prototyping of soldiers’ highest priorities to get new capabilities, not platforms, to the field within one to five years. The office will begin by looking at fields like electronic warfare, cyber and survivability.
