NADWC Demonstration Grant

The NADWC Demonstration Grant was created to accelerate public and private sector advancements in autonomous systems within Michigan's National All-Domain Warfighting Center (NADWC). The grant supports the Uncrewed Triple Challenge (UTC), a state-sponsored competition to drive innovation in autonomous drone technology, tasking participants with using uncrewed, autonomous drones to seamlessly transport a package across Michigan traversing air, land, and water. Eligible applicants include teams from academia, military, government, and the private sector, specifically UTC competitors and companies seeking to demonstrate and advance their autonomous systems within NADWC. Eligible project costs include transportation, onsite integration and operations, and technology improvements needed specifically for activity at NADWC. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
