Military Vehicle Systems Summit

The Military Vehicle Systems Summit is a pivotal event aimed at advancing the modernization, sustainment, and transformation of the Army's premier ground combat systems. With a focus on supporting the soldier, the summit will discuss the development and acquisition of future combat vehicles such as the XM30 and M-1E3 Abrams Main Battle Tank. The event promises to delve into critical topics such as bolstering ground combat lethality, leveraging human-machine integration to drive unmanned ground vehicle innovation, and providing perspectives from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on next-generation military ground vehicle development.Attendees will benefit from insights delivered by a distinguished lineup of speakers, including Deputy Chief of Staff MG (Ret) Darren Werner, and industry leaders from organizations such as General Dynamics Land Systems and GM Defense. The summit will feature four distinct panels that will cover crucial aspects of military vehicle systems, including human-machine integration, systems upgradability through Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), and advancements in powertrains and electronics for current and future military ground vehicles. The summit will also address the broader context of the military land vehicles market, which is projected to grow significantly, indicating a strong push towards the development of next-generation combat vehicle technologies with substantial funding allocated for research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E).The event will foster an environment conducive to networking, allowing participants to engage with senior military leaders, acquisition authorities, and technology solution providers. Attendees will have opportunities for interactive sessions, roundtable discussions, and product demonstrations that highlight the latest technologies in vehicle systems. The summit is designed as an educational training forum, open and complimentary to Department of Defense (DoD) and federal employees, while also providing a platform for industry and academia to showcase their innovations. This non-partisan summit aims to bring together a holistic group of decision-makers and solution providers to address the complex challenges facing the military vehicles and vehicle systems community. The Military Vehicle Systems Summit is set to be held at the Gem Theatre in Detroit, United States, and is poised to be a significant gathering for stakeholders in military vehicle systems.
