Description

SERDP/ESTCP Fire Equipment Prize Challenge Virtual Demo Day

Join us for the Virtual Demo Day of the SERDP/ESTCP Fire Equipment Prize Challenge on April 18, 2025!

Hosted by the Central Florida Tech Grove in collaboration with the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) and the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), this virtual event will highlight groundbreaking wildfire response technologies developed by the Prize Challenge semifinalists. These cutting-edge solutions leverage autonomous and remotely operated ground-based systems to enhance safety, efficiency, and operational effectiveness in hazardous fire environments, particularly on and around U.S. military lands.

Attendees will have the opportunity to watch live demonstrations of each prototype as teams present their innovations to a panel of expert judges with extensive experience in fire response and defense technology assessment. These presentations mark the culmination of rigorous development efforts aimed at addressing the increasing challenges of wildland fire management in high-risk areas.

The Virtual Demo Day is open to the public, and we encourage all interested parties to register and gain insight into the future of wildfire response technology.

Please note: While demonstrations and presentations are open to all, judge deliberations and private discussions with semifinalists will take place in a closed session.

Central Florida Tech Grove

The Central Florida Tech Grove is a hub for accelerating collaboration and innovation in defense modeling, simulation, training, and human performance. Tech Grove is located in the Central Florida Research Park in Orlando, Florida which is the epicenter of the nation's largest cluster of government, industry, academic, and industry organizations developing and delivering training and simulation products for our nation's military. Tech Grove was established in 2020 through a Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) between the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) and the University of Central Florida Research Foundation. Ten other Department of Defense entities are Tech Grove members with NAWCTSD: US Army Program Executive Office for Simulation Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), US Air Force Agency for Modeling & Simulation (AFAMS), US Marine Corps Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS), US Army Simulation & Training Technology Center (STTC), US Army Futures Command Synthetic Training Environment Cross-Functional Team (STE CFT), Defense Health Agency (DHA), U.S. Space Force Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM), Strategic Environmental Research and Development (SERDP), Army Modeling Simulation Office (AMSO), and the Office of Naval Research through the NavalX Central Florida Tech Bridge.
