U.S. Army to break ground on Digital Air-Ground Integration Range this fall

Construction is about to begin on a new high tech live-fire range at Fort Knox that, when finished in 2023, will be only the second of its kind anywhere. Eric Pilgrim, Fort Knox News, reports on U.S. Army’s website.
In the past, U.S. Army tank companies conducted live-fire exercises at Fort Knox's Yano Range one tank at a time. Fort Knox officials say the new Digital Air-Ground Integration Range, or DAGIR, will make it possible for soldiers and military personnel to coordinate and practice accomplishing missions from the ground and air simultaneously. The DAGIR is expected to come online sometime in 2023. (Picture source: Eric Pilgrim, Fort Knox News)
