Nevada Automotive Test Center is once again proud to host our Vehicle Systems Demonstration immediately following the NDIA Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Conference.

Information and updates on the demonstration will be posted on a regular basis to our Rodeo website

(http://www.natc-rodeo.com)

The NATC Vehicle Systems Demonstration will be held at the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) on February 8, 2012 following the NDIA Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Conference in Monterey, California. The rodeo format allows vehicle technology developers/manufacturers to demonstrate their solutions in a real world environment.

For 2012, the Rodeo will be focused on mobility and survivability technologies. Enhanced mobility and integration of systems to support situational awareness have been proven to be key elements for success in Afghanistan. Mobility and performance demonstrations of a broad range of armored 4 x 4 through 8 x 8 vehicles will be included. Technology experts will be available to discuss improvements in mobility, life cycle cost, vehicle dynamics modeling, ballistic materials, blast modeling and simulation, etc.

In order to demonstrate your solution in the NATC Rodeo, please follow the steps listed below:

• Contact NATC to discuss goals and solutions.
• Determine your test area requirements, complexity of demonstration, type of vehicle, etc.
• Provide support information for the solution. NATC packages this information for all participants including a DVD of the demonstration events. This information is made available to allow the participants to recall demonstration highlights and to continue discussions after event.
• Develop the demonstration in a 30 minute format. Each demonstration is repeated throughout the day to ensure that every participant has the opportunity, in a small group, to view and actively participate in the event, drive the vehicle, etc.

Only government representatives and special invitees will attend the demonstration. This will allow each demonstrator to fully discuss their solutions.

NATC reserves the right to make changes necessary to best support government and industry requirements.
