148th NGAUS General Conference & Exhibition
 

August 28–31, 2026
Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana
Booth # 934

The 148th NGAUS General Conference & Exhibition is the yearly business meeting for the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS). Hosted by the Indiana National Guard, it gathers over 4,000 Army and Air National Guard officers, defense leaders, and industry professionals. This year’s theme is "The National Guard: America's Strength at Home & Abroad."

We welcome you to visit us at Booth #934 in the exhibition hall. As your single-source prime contractor, NOBLE is here to connect National Guard leaders with trusted suppliers and showcase a full range of tactical, communications, and safety gear. Our team and supplier partners will be on hand throughout the event. Please stop by anytime to talk about your unit’s procurement goals.

This year, NOBLE is featuring these products and solutions from several of our top suppliers:

Honeywell RAE Systems
Gas Detection & CBRN Monitoring: NOBLE provides Honeywell’s RAE Systems wireless multi-gas monitors, portable gas detectors, and radiation sensors. National Guard Civil Support Teams (CST) depend on these for real-time monitoring of hazardous chemicals and toxic industrial materials during emergency responses.
 

StreetSmartVR
Immersive Tactical Training: NOBLE offers StreetSmartVR’s virtual-reality training platforms for military police and security forces. These platforms create realistic, customizable scenarios so Guardsmen can practice de-escalation, less-lethal weapon use, and tactical decisions in a safe, repeatable digital environment.
 

Ghosthood
Lightweight Camouflage Systems: NOBLE supplies Ghosthood’s advanced multispectral camouflage systems. These compact, breathable, and lightweight covers, including suits, weapon wraps, and vehicle netting, help reconnaissance units avoid detection by disrupting visual, near-infrared (NIR), and thermal signatures.
 

SemperComm
Portable Command Center (PCC): The SemperComm Portable Command Center provides a rugged, grid-independent, and EMP-shielded communications hub that delivers heavy-command-vehicle capability in a compact, highly mobile package for rapid deployment to any disaster or operational hotspot.

Kershaw
Duty Knives and Multi-Tools: NOBLE provides Kershaw’s durable pocketknives, assisted-opening folders, and tactical tools. Units use these as standard field gear for daily maintenance, survival, and emergencies.
 

In addition to the gear and simulations at the expo, NOBLE is a leading DLA Special Operational Equipment (SOE) Prime Vendor. We have a large supply network that delivers essential equipment for both Army and Air National Guard units.

Aerospace & Flight Line Readiness

For Air National Guard wings, NOBLE supplies important commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components and support technology:

• Aircrew Survivability: Flight suits, specialized helmets, anti-G garments, and life support systems.
• Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE): Flight-line maintenance stands, towbars, aircraft jacks, and ground power units.
• Flight-Line Safety: Airfield lighting, foreign object debris (FOD) removal systems, and airfield-specific fire/rescue gear.

C5ISR 

These solutions help maintain information dominance during state emergencies or federal deployments:

• Tactical Network Integration: Ruggedized compute nodes, mobile edge servers, and distributed communications setups.
• Mobile Command Posts: Easily transportable, smaller, survivable command nodes that come pre-configured with communications and power.
   

CBRNE 

NOBLE provides total life-cycle support for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) defense.

• PPE & Detection: Chemical suits, gloves, respirators, and advanced detection systems for identifying CBRNE threats.
• Decontamination & Mitigation: Decontamination sprayers, chemical solutions, and containment tools for neutralizing hazardous materials.
• Sustainment & Training: Equipment maintenance, software solutions, and expert-led training to ensure operational readiness and team safety.

Expeditionary Support & Sustainment

These resources are essential for disaster response (including FEMA missions) and for setting up operations in remote locations:

• Shelter Systems: Rapidly deployable, modular tents and rigid-wall shelters, including BEAR-compatible (Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources) kits.
• Field Infrastructure: Portable power grids, tactical generators, water purification systems, and waste management setups
   

OCIE & Human Performance

These offerings focus on the health and readiness of each soldier and airman:

• Organizational Clothing & Individual Equipment (OCIE): Advanced ballistic plates, body armor carriers, tactical load-bearing vests, and cold-weather apparel systems.
• Medical Assets: Field trauma kits, disposable PPE, institutional first aid, and TACOPS mobile medical storage systems.
• Human Performance: Pre-fabricated deployment gyms, tactical fitness equipment, and biometric monitoring tech to maintain peak physical readiness.
   

Maintenance, Repair, & Operations (MRO)

These solutions help keep Guard armories, hangars, and state bases running smoothly:

• Facility Support: Commercial-grade HVAC units, electrical frameworks, plumbing networks, and construction materials.
• Industrial Tooling: Specialized calibration tools, ESD-controlled shop materials, and heavy-duty hand or power tools.
   

UxS / UxV Operations

For Uncrewed Systems (UxS) and Uncrewed Vehicles (UxV), NOBLE focuses on rapid field-layering to give National Guard units immediate tactical sensing, maneuverability, and protection. We provide comprehensive, end-to-end autonomous solutions.

• Instant-Launch AI Drones: Fully autonomous, NDAA-compliant AI search drones that deploy in under 10 seconds without requiring specialized pilot skills.
• Tactical Edge Surveillance & Allied Tech: NOBLE curates allied tactical drone products to provide micro-UAV reconnaissance capabilities directly to the small-unit platoon or squad level.
• Layered Counter-UxS (C-UAS) Defense: Alongside offensive sensing, NOBLE supplies kinetic and electronic counter-drone technologies to detect, track, and jam unauthorized or hostile drones. These systems are configured specifically to protect static assets like Air National Guard flight lines, temporary field command posts, and emergency supply distribution centers.

Technical Training & Sustainment (NOBLE IQ)

• Mission-Specific Onboarding: Through our NOBLE IQ division, we provide expert-led training to ensure Guard operators can seamlessly move from purchasing to active field deployment.
• Lifecycle Support: We manage technical support, sensor calibrations, firmware updates, and component repair workflows to maximize system readiness over time.
