# Michigan DMVA Hosts Army DDIL Testing

The Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA), in collaboration with the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) and the Threat System Management Office (TSMO), hosted a Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent and Limited (DDIL) testing environment event at Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center from September 13-18, 2026. This event supports the Army's Permissive Range Initiative by providing a realistic operational environment for defense industry and military organizations to test emerging technologies focused on communications, positioning, navigation, and timing under contested battlefield conditions. Camp Grayling's role as a premier stateside military test range enhances opportunities for defense innovation and rapid technology development.

- **Why this matters:** Procurement professionals should note the increased emphasis on DDIL environments for testing advanced defense technologies, signaling potential contract opportunities for companies specializing in resilient communications and navigation systems.
- The involvement of multiple industry participants such as Eagle NXT, Noah Labs, Archangel Response Corps, and Superfocus AI indicates active engagement and collaboration opportunities within this testing framework.
- Organizations can leverage insights from this event to align product development with Army requirements for contested operational environments, improving competitiveness in future solicitations.
- The Michigan DMVA and Camp Grayling facilities are key locations for defense testing initiatives, suggesting regional procurement and partnership prospects in Michigan's defense sector.
