The United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence invites you to the Army Aviation Industry Days Exposition, 6-8 August 2024 at Fort Novosel, AL, sponsored by the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

The purpose of Army Aviation Industry Days 2024 is to:

Army Aviation Industry Days is an annual event conducted at the Home of Army Aviation, Fort Novosel, Alabama and is open to Industry and the Fort Novosel Community. The theme for this year’s expo is Army Aviation: Dominating from the Air-Ground Littoral.

The first formal session of Army Aviation Industry Days begins on the afternoon of 6 August, with plenary session(s) on the future operating environment at the Seneff facility.
