NEWPORT \u2013 The 3rd annual BlueTIDE technology demonstration event is set to return to Newport on Aug. 27, inviting attendees to discover the latest advancements in maritime and dual-use technologies.<\/p>\n

Hosted by 401 Tech Bridge in collaboration with the U.S. Navy, NavalX and the Northeast Tech Bridge, the annual event serves as a platform for showcasing innovative solutions and fosters collaboration among industry leaders, government partners and the defense innovation community.<\/p>\n

Organizers are currently seeking exhibitors and demonstrators who are developing next-generation technologies focused on swarming autonomous systems and counter unmanned systems, which include autonomous swarm coordination across air, land and maritime domains; detection, tracking and sensing capabilities in contested environments; directed energy and advanced defense technologies; secure communications and resilient networks; and modeling, simulation and digital mission test environments.<\/p>\n

One of the key features of the BlueTIDE event involves in-water demonstrations, in which companies participate in Navy-designed mission scenarios, demonstrate their technologies as they gain access to decision-makers and participate in a $200,000 Northeast Tech Bridge Prize Challenge<\/a>, a multiphase competition to identify technology solutions to monitor and protect undersea critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAnticipation is already building for the defense innovation community to gather once again in Newport this August,\u201d 401 Tech Bridge said of BlueTIDE 2026 on its website.<\/p>\n
