NDIA Michigan Chapter’s 2026 GVSETS is calling for Technical Demonstration Proposals from government, industry, and academia to showcase advanced unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platforms and supporting technologies or components. Demonstrations will focus exclusively on UGVs and will take place this August 11-12 on a dedicated 50′ x 200′ loop track. Selected participants may also compete in UGV races during late-afternoon receptions on either day. 

Submissions will be evaluated by the GVSETS Tech Demo Task Force for technical merit, with a “Best Tech Demo of the Day” award presented to race winners each day. All submitted/presented materials must be publicly releasable (Distribution A). Exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities for GVSETS 2026 will be available soon.
