US Army Future Command

The US Army Future Command is a branch of the Army focused on its modernization and anticipating future threats. Its projects include developing software & AI, robotic combat vehicles, targeting systems, new artillery & weapons.

Places the Command is reported to have space:

  • the 9th floor of the UT System building on 210 W 7th St
  • the JJ Pickle Federal Building (300 E. 8th St)
  • in the Capital Factory, based out of Omni hotel at 701 Brazos St (Army Applications Lab)
  • at the Center for Electromechanics at the JJ Pickle Research Campus, off North Burnet & West Braker Lane
  • the Robotics Lab at the Anna Hiss Gym at UT, 2501 Wichita St
  • the software factory at Austin Community College Rio Grande Campus (1212 Rio Grande)
  • in the Dell campus in Round Rock, 501 Dell Way (hosting the Resource Operations Center)

Given UT’s extensive entanglement with the military, one may pick any UT system institution as a target for pressure or disruption.
