We had a great experience at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition last week along with our partners, spreading the word about Oklahoma's status as a premier national hub for U.S. Army readiness and advanced defense innovation. For example, Fort Sill in Lawton hosts the Fires Center of Excellence and the Joint Counter-small UAS University, leading critical joint-service training in radar, electronic warfare and drone defense. Camp Gruber serves as a premier testing center for emerging UAS and C-UAS capabilities in partnership with industry and academia, while the McAlester Army Am******on Plant functions as the Department of Defense’s premier bomb and missile warhead loading facility — and more.

Thanks to our partners Aeon Inc, ANPC, Firehawk Aerospace, Knowmadics, Inc., Neros Technologies, Numat Technologies, Oklahoma Defense Industry Association, Picogrid Inc., Rune Technologies, and FISTA Innovation Park for a great show!
