UTAC is returning for its 5th year in 2024, an annual immersive technology training event dedicated to highlighting the latest advancements and innovations in unmanned systems technology.
Key Dates for UTAC 2024:
- October 21-23, 2024 (3 days) for local, state, federal and enterprise.
- October 21-25, 2024 (5 days) for defense organizations.
Organized by UTAC, the event serves as a realistic training platform for public safety, government, and defense organizations to deploy air, ground, and maritime unmanned systems and augmenting technologies.
Located in Perry, GA, the 830-acre training campus offers an ideal environment for technology, realistic scenarios, and networking.
The event provides an opportunity to trial unmanned technologies in immersive full-scale scenarios, integrate solutions like mesh network systems and TAK situational awareness software, exchange knowledge, and explore innovative developments in the field of unmanned systems.
Training sessions are led by industry experts, experienced operators, and subject matter experts who provide in-depth knowledge and insights. Some programs offer certifications upon completion, verifying specific skills and knowledge.
UTAC training covers a wide range of topics including flight operations, safety protocols, regulatory compliance, mission planning, data analysis, and emerging technologies.
Participants can connect with peers, industry leaders, and professionals, facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing. The training meets the current and future needs of the unmanned systems and robotics industries, ensuring that participants are well-prepared for practical applications.
Command staff, program managers, and IT staff may be eligible for an Observer Pass, allowing access to mission scenarios, tech-trials, workshops, and keynotes.
