GVSETS 2025 -- One of America's largest military ground vehicle technology symposiums

Join Army leaders, tech innovators, and defense decision makers in Michigan, Aug. 12 - 14, as defense modernization accelerates the readiness and future capabilities of combat and support vehicles.

DETROIT, Mich., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With defense modernization now a national priority—and new legislation igniting America's push to build the most capable military in history to face the challenges of future battlefields, especially against peer and near-peer adversaries —the spotlight turns to Michigan this August.

The 17th annual Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering and Technology Symposium (GVSETS), hosted by the NDIA Michigan Chapter, returns as the nation's largest event focused solely on military ground vehicle innovation.

Over three critical days, August 12 - 14, GVSETS will bring together Army leaders, Warfighters, defense suppliers and strategists, policymakers, engineers, and academic researchers from across the country. Over 3,000 attendees will hear exclusive modernization updates from senior officials with U.S. Army TACOM, PEO GCS, PEO CS&CSS, NGCV CTF, DEVCOM GVSC, and ACC-Detroit Arsenal explore game-changing technologies, and engage directly with decision-makers driving billion-dollar military programs.

GVSETS also provides a rare opportunity for organizations to submit technical white papers and present research that addresses real Army capability gaps. Topics include autonomy, AI, digital engineering, MOSA, M&S, additive manufacturing, materials, power, human performance, and contested and predictive logistics.
