Forging the Future of Defense

The Future Force Live Fire Demonstration, sponsored by WAR Inc, will focus on the next generation of munitions, weapon systems, and military assets required for the modern battlefield.

This demonstration is built around one core reality. Modern warfare is moving faster than legacy acquisition, and the battlefield now demands systems that can sense, move, strike, adapt, and scale across domains.

WAR Inc. will showcase emerging capabilities across next generation munitions, unmanned systems, counter UAS, advanced materials, tactical mobility, small arms integration, and live payload delivery concepts. Attendees will see live and static demonstrations designed to show how these technologies perform under realistic range conditions, not in theory, not on a slide deck, and not behind a tradeshow booth.

The event will demonstrate 40mm munition effects, UAS delivered payload concepts, counter drone engagement technologies, UGV mobility, drone weapon system integration, advanced shotgun ammunition performance, and tactical vehicle platforms. Demonstrations will include static UAS weapon systems, moving target engagements (featuring Marathon Targets), drone flight profiles, UGV crawl capability, TP round delivery, and controlled static detonation of ONI 40mm effects on target.

This is not a technology expo in the traditional sense. It is a live capability preview of what the next layer of force modernization can look like when small, agile, mission driven companies are placed in front of real users, real terrain, and real operational problems.

From Group 1 UAS payload delivery to counter UAS effects, from unmanned ground mobility to advanced ammunition behavior, the demonstration is designed to show how modular systems can be integrated into a broader kill chain and fielded faster than traditional defense timelines allow.

The objective is simple. Put emerging capability in motion, show what works, expose what needs refinement, and accelerate the path from concept to operational relevance.

If your company is interested in being a demonstrator, please complete the application and send it to Allison Hitchner, ahitchner@NDIA.org.

Application deadline is Friday, May 22.

No other defense conference offers a Live Fire Demonstration of this scale. The Demo provides a unique opportunity to highlight evolving capabilities, confirm performance against emerging threats, and gives the user community a clear vision of future potential.

There is no additional fee for exhibitors or sponsors to participate in the Live Fire Demonstration. 

At $3,100, your exhibit package includes a 10x10 booth space, two full conference registrations, and no-cost access to the live fire demonstration, giving you both floor presence and live, hands-on exposure. This is a high-ROI opportunity to engage decision-makers and demonstrate performance where it matters most. Sponsors can also participate as a demonstrator at not extra cost.

To view sponsorship opportunities or book your exhibit space, visit the Future Force exhibit website. 

If your organization has specific constraints around exhibiting or sponsorship but is interested in participating in the Live Fire Demonstration, please contact Allison Hitchner, ahitchner@NDIA.org, to discuss potential options.
