It sets minimum length requirements, explains abstract expectations and citation conventions, and defines how the introduction must establish relevance, background, motivation, and structure. It also specifies layout rules for two-column formatting, margins, fonts, distribution/OPSEC guidance, and first-page header elements including session name, title, author list, affiliations, and figure placement.","Draft papers must be a minimum of 5 pages long.\nAbstracts will not be accepted (delete prior to submission).\n2026 NDIA MICHIGAN CHAPTER\nGROUND VEHICLE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING\nand TECHNOLOGY SYMPOSIUM\nEnter Tech Session Name and change font to black Technical Session\nAugust 11-13, 2026 - Novi, Michigan\nTITLE GOES HERE AND IS IN ALL CAPS\nAuthor One1, Author Two, PhD2, Author Three3, Author Four1, Author Five4\n1Z University, Troy, MI\n2A Company, Warren, MI\n3B Company, Detroit, MI\n4US Army DEVCOM GVSC\nABSTRACT\nThis section is italicized and should be only as long as it needs to be to summarize the paper.  Abstract is usually 100 – 150 words (7 to 11 lines), fully justified, with 1.5-inch margins on the left and right.  The abstract gives a brief synopsis of your paper and tells a potential reader at a high level what the paper is about.  It should minimally capture the relevance / significance, briefly outline the primary contributions of the paper and state the conclusions.  It may also mention work leading up to the paper but probably should not cite prior work, leave that for your introduction.  The abstract, along with the title, should capture the reader’s attention and tell them what they expect to find in the paper.  The abstract should not be so long that the paper has to start on the second page.  This abstract about 150 words long as an example.\nCitation: A. One, A. Two, A. Three, A. Four, A. Five, “Title Goes Here with Major Words Capitalized,” In Proceedings of the Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering and Technology Symposium (GVSETS), NDIA, Novi, MI, Aug. 11-13, 2026.\nINTRODUCTION\nThe introduction should establish the relevance of the work, provide background, cite prior work, motivate the body of the paper and briefly summarize the structure of the paper.\nDISTRIBUTION A.  Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. OPSEC #: (Pending, NOT approved for release.) (Remove this statement if not applicable)\nThe main body of the paper should be two columns.  It should have the left and right margin set to 1 inch and center margin should be set to ½ inch.  The text should be fully justified.  The font should be Times New Roman, 12-point or equivalent serif font.\nNote that if the paper is subject to a review for public release, the distribution statement and the associated tracking information should be at the bottom of the first page.\nThe rest of this paper template enumerates the guidelines and style for various elements of the paper.  First the formatting for the paper header is described element by element.  Then specific guidelines for paper elements such as equations, tables, figures, etc.  The next sections describe how the final elements of the paper should be structured such as conclusions, references, contact, acknowledgment and appendix sections.\nFIRST PAGE HEADER\nGVSETS Header\nFigure 1: Illustration of replacing the placeholder text with the actual session name.  Note that the session will have a fully spelled out name and an acronym.  This should be completed for the final paper submission.\nFigure 1: Illustration of replacing the placeholder text with the actual session name.  Not that your session will have a fully spelled out name and also an acronym.  This should be completed for your final paper submission.\nThe header of the paper should conform to the norms of this template as shown above.  For the GVSETS header, be sure to replace the placeholder text with the name and acronym of the session in which your paper is being presented (See Figure 1).\nTitle\nThe title is centered in all caps in Arial 14-point bold font.  The title should not be too long (1 to 2 lines max) and it should also be included in the footer on pages 2 and following.  The title should very succinctly state what the paper is about.\nAuthor List\nThe author list should have each author’s first and last name (middle initial is optional) and have a superscript indicating their link to their affiliation below.
