This event aims to showcase innovative lethality technologies, with a focus on categories such as Weapons, Visual Augmentation Systems, and Precision Strike Systems, among others, while also providing an opportunity for selected technologies to participate in a "Last Line of Defense" rodeo for counter-unmanned aircraft systems (cUAS) testing on April 12, 2026. The event serves as a platform for U.S. Special Operations Forces and other attendees to conduct hands-on market research to address lethality gaps and inform future requirements. Interested parties must submit their technology applications by October 30, 2025, or January 30, 2026, via the Phoenix Defence website, and can contact Marvin Marcia at marvin.marcia@socom.mil for further information.
