Field Demonstrations
MAC runs the nation's most operationally relevant field demonstration calendar — connecting commercial technology to live ranges, real units, and the program offices that buy at scale.
Why Field Demos
The single biggest accelerant for dual-use technology is operator contact in a real environment. Every MAC demonstration is built around three rules: a mission-relevant scenario, an operator in the loop, and a path to a contract on the other side.
Programs
Our flagship multi-day demonstration event focused on autonomy, counter-UAS, and contested logistics. Operators, program offices, and primes evaluate vendor solutions against live mission threads.
Industry-grade kinetic and non-kinetic counter-UAS demonstrations against representative threat profiles. Vendors get real-world telemetry; operators get unfiltered performance data.
Closed-course and open-terrain trials for UGVs, robotic combat vehicles, and autonomy stacks. Includes urban, desert, and degraded-comms environments.
Curated industry day pairing 8–12 vetted commercial companies with DoW program offices, primes, and venture investors for technical pitches and live demos.
Two-week, focused engagements where vendors iterate against real operator feedback in a live training environment. Outputs include performance reports and pathway recommendations.
The Day One demonstration program of our flagship summit. Live tech demos and a fireside on emerging priorities — UAS, counter-UAS, and frontier autonomy.
The Range Network
MAC coordinates demonstrations across one of the most concentrated test environments in the country — open desert, restricted airspace, urban training, and contested EW conditions, all within a single ecosystem.
How It Works
Submit your capability and target mission. Our team triages within 10 business days.
We match you with the right operator, range, and DoW stakeholder for a meaningful test.
We run the demonstration end-to-end — logistics, safety, range coordination, observers.
We package the data, connect you to capital and contracts, and shepherd the path to fielding.
Tell us what you've built and the mission it serves. If it's a fit, we'll find the right range, the right operator, and the right path to scale.
