Rise of the Machines is your chance to get hands-on with ground-based robotics and autonomous platforms. From breaching and logistics to surveillance and combat support, we’re challenging soldiers to design, build, and trial machines that can fight smarter and support the soldier.

DESIGN. BUILD. FIGHT. This is not a spectator sport- we expect your platforms to do damage. And we will teach you how. We'll provide the kit, tools, and support. You bring the tactical smarts, grit, and creativity to push the limits of what autonomous machines can do on the battlefield.

Think remote-controlled mule. Think automated scout. Think whatever your mission needs next. Then build it.

Be part of the next leap in warfighting.
