University XXI is a partnership between the two flagship universities of Texas, Texas A&M University and The University of Texas at Austin, in support of the Army’s digitization program, a key component to Army Transformation. University XXI is a result-oriented program that provides high end technical support for the U.S. Army’s “digitized” forces at Fort Hood by focusing on relevant intellectual resources and research facilities of the two universities on complex technical problems encountered during its transformation process. Participation from such Army organizations as the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications - Tactical (PEO-C3T), the Army Director of Integration (DOI), the Army Training and Doctrine Command’s National Simulation Center (NSC), the Army Training Support Center (ATSC), and III Corps, the Army’s Director of Integration (a staff element of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army for Programs (G-8)) solicits the research topics from these, and other army organizations on an annual basis and selects the tasks to be included in the University XXI program based on a formalized process.
