UTAC introduces UTAC-X this year, a defense only experimental capability assessment designed for U.S. and NATO partner forces. Expanding on six years of industry-leading immersive defense training, UTAC-X serves as a proving ground for emerging technology and operational concepts. This free, one day event features high-fidelity day and night scenarios purpose built to support warfighter-driven innovation.

Throughout the three days, UTAC will host best-in-class technology and operational tactical equipment exhibitors, unmanned systems experts, and operators from local, state, federal, and defense organizations worldwide. Attendees will participate in curated, scenario-driven training lanes, technology workshops, live demonstrations, and expert-led sessions, all in an immersive environment that reflects real world mission demands.

During the main three-day UTAC event, attendees will:

  • Observe and engage in how agencies and organizations deploy technology in realistic missions
  • Network with peers, instructors, and industry experts
  • Participate in tactical and technological workshops
  • Operate in multiple hyper-realistic training scenarios

The final day, UTAC-X, is exclusively for defense operators, offering advanced scenario work, skill refinement, and direct collaboration with U.S and NATO forces, instructors and select exhibitors.

A previous defense attendee described it best: “UTAC is truly unique. The training lanes are expertly crafted in complex terrain, and the repetition allows you to integrate drones and robotics into missions effectively—side-by- side with instructors, industry partners, and operators from around the world.”

Registration is now open for both General Admission and UTAC-X passes, but space is limited.
