Digitizing the Army to Enable Formations Today and Tomorrow

Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering & Technology Symposium (GVSETS) & Modernization Update provides the opportunity to personally network and share technical research to approximately 2,000 attendees.

Scientists and engineers from government, academia and industry are invited to submit papers for the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Michigan Chapter’s 16th Annual GVSETS & Modernization Update, in coordination with The Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD).

NDIA is dedicated to enhancing warfighter capabilities and finding solutions for capability gaps which are growing in scope and complexity for current and future conflicts. The focus of the 2024 GVSETS is partnering with industry, government, and academia to explore technical areas that can support future formations and the digitization of the current and future Army.
