UTAC, a leading training event for drones, UAS, robotics, and supporting technologies, marks its 6th annual edition, “Train Like You Operate,” October 27–30, 2025, at the Guardian Centers in Perry, Georgia.

This year’s event provides drone pilots and robotics operators with exposure to the latest unmanned systems, augmenting technologies, and integrated tactical solutions.

UTAC will introduce 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.

During 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.

Across 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 former 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.
