At UTAC, we take our mantra, “Train Like You Operate,” seriously. We introduce our attendees to the latest in mission-critical technology that they can explore in real-world scenarios: an experience they can’t get at any other trade show. Now, UTAC’s Tactical Showcase brings top-of-the-line equipment and gear into play, enabling end-user operators to experiment with a new kit for enhanced mission capabilities.
UTAC is an internationally recognized event, offering a one-of-a-kind environment that combines immersive, live, scenario-based training with state-of-the-art technologic and tactical innovations. With live-fire ranges, explosive breaching, and less-lethal munitions available, UTAC is not your average trade show: it is an all-encompassing, hyper-realistic training experience where we encourage you to blow things up, shoot at things, and test out your kit. At UTAC, there is no rote “industry day” where a limited number of people watch a demo–every scenario at UTAC is live and hyper-realistic, with industry SMEs leading uncrewed systems operators through each training lane as they upskill their team’s capabilities.
Get your gear and equipment off the shelf and into the hands of those who actually need it: public safety, government, and defense tacticians and operators from all over the world. UTAC is the only event of its caliber that is not open to civilians: it caters exclusively to end users and decisionmakers who are deeply embedded within law enforcement, special operations, drone and robotics, uncrewed systems, defense, and public safety organizations.
Capture on-the-ground, live footage of your gear or equipment in action alongside the latest in uncrewed systems technological advancements, in an environment where actions and reactions are not staged. While, due to the nature of the event, we can’t accommodate entire media teams, this is a unique chance for your marketing team to snag a few photos and videos of your equipment in use (for more information about professional media capture opportunities at UTAC 2025, contact our team).
Engage with operators at all levels, whether you’re at your booth, in a workshop, demonstrating your capabilities, or participating in a scenario. Bring your best mission-oriented solutions for a “trial by fire” and empower end users to “Train Like You Operate” at UTAC 2025.

“As an Australian, UTAC was a conference like no other. The hands-on aspect separates it from other conferences and provides the end user with an experience that is not available anywhere else in the world. The scenarios, instructors, and SMEs were outstanding and the conference location second to none. The information, guidance and experience I received as an attendee was a game changer for me and my organisation. Thank you UTAC. See you next year!”

“[The Interior Flight Station] was great. Not only was the instructor very knowledgeable about the Avatas but he always was very helpful on the manual FPV. He even let me fly one of his. I think that in itself is dedication, because I have never flown a manual FPV and to let this stranger fly his own for the first time is truly a great instructor.”

"The biggest differentiator of UTAC is that first responders who are using Spot share their experiences with the robot in real-life public safety scenarios. When attendees get hands-on stick time with Spot, they build confidence with the technology and more directly comprehend the value of a quadruped robot in the field."
