MDEX 2025 was nothing short of energizing for our Members, government stakeholders, and especially the NAMC team. As the defense innovation ecosystem gathered in Macomb, we were proud to once again support meaningful engagement between government and industry, highlight the capabilities of our network, and reinforce the importance of collaboration in advancing ground vehicle technologies.
The NAMC team attended the Army Futures Command’s (AFC) Army Applications Lab (AAL) VERTEX event to better understand the rapidly evolving field of ground robotics and autonomy. AAL plans to leverage the insights gained from participants at VERTEX to inform solicitations, requirements, concepts and policy.
In an effort to raise awareness to NAMC member capabilities within the consortium, NAMC launched the member spotlight last year, showcasing an organization from the capability areas identified via the DAI OTA.
The MOSA Community of Interest (COI) has undergone significant updates and will now be referred to as the Ground Combat Systems (GCS) Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA) COI. Current NAMC members in good standing are eligible to apply for membership in this COI. Members who were previously part of the MOSA COI will automatically be included in the GCIA COI.
The National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) has joined forces with the Michigan Translational Research and Commercialization (MTRAC) Advanced Transportation Innovation Hub, a program aimed at accelerating the commercialization of groundbreaking mobility and transportation technologies. This collaboration underscores NAMC’s commitment to fostering innovation in the mobility sector and strengthening its ties to early-stage research and development efforts across Michigan.
At I/ITSEC 2024, the world’s largest simulation and training conference, the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) explored the evolving role of Modeling & Simulation (M&S) in addressing the Department of Defense's (DoD) challenges. This annual event showcased advancements in defense technology and underscored opportunities in embedded training, digital engineering integration, and robotics. NAMC shares its perspective on how innovative partnerships and engaging Warfighters early in development can drive scalable, requirement-informed solutions for the ground domain. These insights reflect NAMC's commitment to supporting DoD modernization and fostering innovation in defense technology.
