We are seeking thought leaders and skilled trainers to lead workshops, demonstrations, and immersive scenarios at our world-renowned event. Whether you're an industry innovator, subject matter expert, seasoned drone pilot, academic researcher, or military expert, we want to hear from you.
Evaluate your sUAS pilot proficiency with NIST-developed and NIST-proctored standardized aerial drone testing at UTAC 2025!
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed these tests for drone capabilities and remote pilot proficiency that are being standardized through the ASTM International Standards Committee on Homeland Security Applications (E54.09).
The results of NIST testing measure the reliability of the drone and remote pilot to perform the essential mission tasks. A series of complementary test lanes enable users to evaluate a wide spectrum of intended missions.
UTAC 2025 provides an opportunity for attendees to test and enhance their skills with NIST-proctored training lanes, allowing for successful participants to leave UTAC with a standardized, widely-recognized certification of their sUAS pilot proficiency.
UTAC is proud to partner with industry-leading providers of technical and tactical solutions across drone, robotics, communications, and C4ISR industries, as well as many more, from across the globe. Thank you to all of our past exhibitors and sponsors for your unwavering support and commitment to excellence!
