US Army researchers and engineers have been busy this year, developing new capabilities and technologies meant to help modernize the force.

Alexander Kott, the chief scientist at Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory, recently picked the Army's top 10 science and technology advancements of 2019. These are potentially game-changing developments intended to help Army soldiers fight and win on future battlefields.

The list includes research and development efforts in material science, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

Kott told Insider the research projects he selected were "the ones that had the potential for a long-term game change — something that could actually lead to a major change in future capabilities and, at the same time, that was well grounded in foundational science and technology."
